Dandelion Kitty

We have a lot of dandelions in our yard. We don't bother to kill them-we just let them grow. I don't want herbicides all over where the kids and pets play. So anyway Jenny decided to make a dandelion necklace for Sparky (the cat). Yep he's a very patient, very laid back cat. Here he is with his pretty necklace. He doesn't even care that it's girly. And he didn't try to take it off either-he had it on for quite a while.

I have had quite a few cats and Sparky is by far the most easygoing. He is 18 lbs (that was not a typo-EIGHTEEN pounds) and he never minds if the kids pick him up and carry him around. In fact he loves it. He gets very relaxed, kneads the air, rubs on their arms and just generally loves it. Here is Jake holding him (yes that is my SON. He's had a haircut since I took this and now he looks like a boy again). Check out Sparky's giant belly hanging out the side.
