And My Name Is

     Four indoor cats were rescued from outside.  The mother cat had left them in our garage.  They have now been with us for eight years.  We named them My-a, Bugs, Blossom, and Runtie.  We call each cat by their name when talking directly to one.  It's amazing to me that they indeed know their name.  The name we call has that cat running to us.  Of course, there are words they evidently know.  Scat is a good word you don't even have to say twice and off the table or where you want them gone from, they're gone.  Cats in their own way have no problem in understanding their owner.  I love all four of my cats.  I am not without sometimes referring to them as human.  Thank God for cats!
