Oh, how grateful I am for this precious gift that my daughter gave me. Her name is Cleo, although she had several names when she lived at my daughter's home. They all had a different name for her. When she came to live with me, we talked, and I gave her a name that was only hers and explained my name. Cleo is my Siamese Cat and my best friend. Cleo follows me everywhere. She likes to eat when I eat. She is an indoor cat but will walk with me by my side without a leash, and if I say HOME, she walks Home. She is knowledgeable, and she knows exactly where she lives.
We used to go walking a lot, but now we have many birds of prey in the area, and I do not know what I would do if one swooped down and took her away. She is older now, and I have lost count, to be honest, maybe 10 or 12, so she is pretty content to watch the squirrels. Come and play outside our window; they are funny fellows. Once in a while, when I bring packages in, she will take a little stroll down our bridge, look around, and walk back home.
She sits at the glass sliding door when I come home, waiting for me. I have never had a cat before; I have always had dogs. Cleo is so brilliant, and reading about Siamese Cats, they said they are like dogs. At one time, only royalty could own Siamese cats.
I am so grateful to have her; she is my forever friend. I am so thankful Johanna was thoughtful enough to gift her to me many years ago, as she is the best gift I have ever received.
