If you ever happen to hear a baby crying when talking to me on the phone, have no fear–we haven’t had children. Burmese cats sound a lot like crying babies. Roxy, in the photo, is the worst about creating a fuss.
She’ll sit outside my office for half an hour or more and howl until I come out. At that point, she hurls herself up towards my chest and starts to purr.
It can get a little old, but overall it makes you feel pretty good. You just can’t get that kind of “urgent, got to have it” love from anything else. And yes, she does stroll around with her tongue sticking out, though she does it less lately.
Ann took this photo earlier this summer shortly after we got a new lens (a wide angle 17-40). Thus the distortion.
