True, cats do none of these things. But we invited them to live with us for another, very important reason. When humans began to shift from being hunter-gatherers to living in settlements, the storage of food became important. Especially as civilization developed toward a division of labor instead of everyone hunting, or finding food, we needed to safely maintain stocks of food (think of Pharaoh's granaries in the Bible). One of the chief obstacles to that need was the widespread presence of vermin, mice and rats mainly, who ate and despoiled stored grain. It was cats who kept their numbers low enough that we could continue to diversify and grow as a society. In order to do that, cats' natural independent hunting instincts were needed. Dogs safeguarded humans and hunted with them. Cats made civilization as we came to understand it possible.

Full of the belief she is liked/loved by everyone, and not just By her dad ( natural for dads).

I actually prefer the second pic-- I like lean guys!

I have to share right away. I mentioned @sniper 's suggestion to OB. He looked incredulous and said "Really? That would be okay?" When I assured him I was fine with the idea, he said he'd talk to her about it. Then after a long pause, he said, "Do you think she might feel like Wendy coming to live with the Lost Boys?"
 
I love this kid.

Well, after promising to give more details about my, hmm, "guy friend," I apologize for not doing so, but I will. In the meantime, an update on quarantine in my house. All the boys were home after spring break, and while I was happy to be all together again, I know Older Brother and Navy Twin were pining for their girlfriends. OB's gf got the word that GW will be online only for the fall semester at least, and after telling us that, he went to his room and stayed there for a long time. I think he's miserable missing her. DePaul Twin has no gf now but was playing the field in Chicago a bit, and I know he misses that. Despite my growing connection to my buddy, it's still been online for various reasons. So we've been a household of four very horny men for several months. I know I've been having Skype sex, and I don't think I'm alone. I imagine the amount of masturbation in the house has been prodigious.
 
With just us at home, there's been a regression to some old behaviors. I think weeks went by with no one wearing a shirt except when we all ate at the table-- I mandated that when they were still little boys. When they were teenagers we all referred to their end of the upstairs hall as "The Zoo, " and despite Navy Twin's fastidiousness, that name kind of applies again. Less horseplay than back then but still not very civilized. Everyone but Navy Twin got pretty shaggy, including me, but eventually DePaul Twin came downstairs having buzzed his head and shaven, so the twins again look exactly alike. The twins cook a lot, Older Brother gardens a lot, and I enjoy it all.
 
In terms of their attitudes toward me and this guy, they each have their own, as I've mentioned before. Older Brother is happy for me, but in his view it's none of his business, I should do what feels right. As mentioned above Navy Twin wants this settled, commit to him or move on. DePaul Twin, always the most sensitive, is the most curious about what it felt like to be in denial for so long, when did I first admit it to myself, how did I know, and without coming out and asking, I sense he's curious about when I started actually having sex with men. I told him that as a teen and young man I simply refused to acknowledge any attraction to males, and that led to my promiscuity with women, of which I'm not proud. I said my only real regret is that there were other boys, teammates or classmates, who made me uncomfortable or nervous, and so I avoided them as much as I could. Now, I look back and realize we could have been friends but I blocked that possibility. We were sitting on the den couch, and he paused and said, "I'm sorry." I said it was okay, and he took my hand and said, "No, it's not." And we didn't say anything for a while, just sat and held hands.
 
We are down one. Two weeks ago we drove Navy Twin to Quantico, VA, where after quarantine he has begun a training program called Leatherneck, where he'll train with the Marines to see if he wants to be one, and the Marines will see if they want him to be one. DePaul Twin has elected to do distance learning for the fall so he'll be here. His Irish roommate is stuck in Ireland so wouldn't have been back anyway. I suppose some of what drives DT's curiosity is his roommate's admission of bisexuality. At all events, we carry on.
