Romeo settles down for a long winter's nap.

Ah ... what a life this fickle feline leads at the Fennel homestead. This is my Donnadreamland mascot, Romeo, a long-haired, plump and purring Manx cat with purrrrsonality plus. He usually sleeps on my lap when I am at the computer ... all twelve pounds of Romeo. Now that we are nudging towards the end of winter season 2006, we are operating our wood-burning stove in our family room for the last few weeks, lending aromatic ambience throughout our tri-level geodesic dome home. Romeo enjoys taking advantage of the comfort as exemplified by his inertia here. Both of my black cats, Romeo and Topaz, have been enjoying an occasional winter's nap while Mother Nature donned her ivory crown in our little town. Besides, following Romeo's hectic schedule as one of Santa's helpers this year and trying to maintain his imperial status as Emperor of Donnadreamland (he appointed himself, naturally), I believe he deserves a siesta or two. He's a charmer and we adore the little fellow, despite his occasional impish ways. Incidently, he likes to dance. Oh, the joys of owning a cat ... don't you wish we could all relish a daily nap and live a life of luxury like that of my Romeo? What a spoiled brat cat.
