Pope Benedict gets a kitty...



This is Contessina, the Pope's favorite cat.  I read that she gets to move in with him now that he will not be living in the papal apartments. 

I can't believe he couldn't have a cat while reigning Pontiff.

  1. boy - I can't believe that either !!! No Wonder he is leaving ! I am really so very relieved for him that he will have her by his side, I am sure she will be a wonderful audience for his piano playing. He will no doubt be charmed when she tippy-toes across the keys.
    btw - how is Your delightful kitteh - I hope she is comforting you in this tumultuous time.
    seriously: this cat will aid him in his long recovery from the Papacy.

  2. Consolata - I'm glad he has a cat to be with him too.

    My cat is doing very well, very demanding however. She wants to go outside and I won't let her. I think she would like to move in with the robbits in the backyard. I'm thinking of getting her a companion cat since she is so social.

  3. ....a companion cat would be a great kindness Terry: I had a pair I adopted from the spca - they were so happy to have each other, both gone, now, and I miss them....I no longer think one pet is a great idea. I Do now have my mother's cat: she finally gave me a powerful head-butt today - nearly knocked me off my feet. but, she will still only sit on my lap if she is, first, in a box. we have work to do. She gets to sit in the door-way, screen/storm door locked, door ajar with a cane (mom's, not mine, yet) so she can 'hide' there and watch the dogs, et al go by, and many other animals, especially at night. cat tv.
    lots of people seem to have rabbits as pets, and their cats are happy...will you give her a choice ?
