It doesn’t take much to make my mom’s day. Yesterday she took me out for a walk, then came home to this cozy domestic scene. 
“Just a year ago, I was ready to hire a cat shrink,” she said. “And now…a picture of domestic bliss.”
As a dog, I understand the dynamics of my housemates. Creampuff actually initiated this little get-together. She waited till Ophelia was settled on her favorite cat cushion, then jumped up to join her. Ophelia wasn’t about to give up her territory, not to mention her comfortable cushion.
The cats are almost exactly the same age, if we can believe what their animal shelters told my mom. They’re about ten years old. That’s senior citizenship in human terms.
