FACTS ABOUT CATS:

The following was in today's McAlester News Capital:

"Midnight" is a nearly solid black five-month old kitten belonging to Jennifer Shelton. A baby cottonmouth snake came in under the door of Shelton's residence just outside of McAlester but Midnight was on duty and dispatched the offending reptile. Shelton stated she has spoiled the kitten since then, but Shelton was actually providing a loving home for Midnight , whom she adopted as a rescue cat.

NOTES:

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 86 degrees. I attended Worship Services this morning. We had a wonderful service singing choruses, hymns and spiritual songs. One of the songs that we sang was "Till The Storm Passes By." Another was "Jesus Paid it All." Another was "I Surrender All" plus others. Janet and Stan sang a special, "Because He Lives," one of my favorite songs. Pastor JT's sermon was titled "Transformational Living: Clear the Way for Revival." I felt like I had worshiped today. I had lunch at home. I took my nap with two cats with me part of the time, Itty Bitty and Tony. I put treats and food out for the cats at about 6:10 p.m. and sat with them until 6:30 p.m. Thanks for your emails and thanks to my church friends who comment on the Good Things. The Good Things seem to help so many people that I just can't stop as long as I can keep going.

Tonight, I would like to welcome Daniel Porter to the Good Things. He is in the Marines and is stationed in California. He is the grandson of Don and Wanda Henderson. Welcome to the Good Things, Daniel, and God Bless You as you serve our country.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but they have been here and they will be back. I have seen all nine of my cats this evening.

Have a nice Monday to start the week. Everett

FACTS ABOUT CATS:

Mysteriously lovable and cunningly charming, domestic cats have captivated the hearts of humans worldwide. Cats are unlike any other animal domesticated by humans in that they came into our homes for food and no other reason. They make affectionate and loving pets, but still retain many of the features that allowed them to survive in the wild. - From The Internet -

NOTES Today has been partly cloud with a high temperature of 84 degrees. I had lunch with Charley while Kathy cleaned my house and Darren mowed my lawn. I went to the post office and then by Memory Gardens cemetery. I took a nap this afternoon. Smokey was with me part of the time. I put treats outside for the cats around 6:30 p.m. I watched the Lawrence Welk show from 1982 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. I appreciate your emails and I appreciate everyone reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but they have been around and they will be back. They are all accounted for this evening.

I hope everyone has a Wonderful Sunday. Everett
