Peaches' Adventures with Janae

We all know that Janae is crafty,

 

(The day I showed her how to use the sewing machine she started a pillow factory.)

musical,

 

(She even made a violin out of a box and a few elastic bands!)
 

and that she loves cats, especially our cat Peaches.

 

(She also likes to experiment with flowers in Peaches' fur.)

But maybe some are not aware of the extents to which Janae has gone to involve Peaches in her life and hobbies. 

 

For example, Janae likes to play the piano for Peaches, and even sits on a hard chair so her kitty can be more comfortable on the bench as she listens.

 

 

In recent months, though, Janae has taken Peaches' music appreciation lessons a step further by actually teaching her how to play.

 

 

She started with the basics but quickly moved on to "Hot Cross Buns," which Peaches is now forced . . . ahem . . . I mean encouraged to practice regularly.

 

 

Janae says things like, "You're so awesome at piano," "You can do this!" and "No back leg" as Peaches tries to find the right keys.

 

I think "Heart and Soul" might be next on the curriculum.

 

I'm not sure if Peaches will ever become quite as advanced as Janae, but she is well on her way. 

 



 

Speaking of being on her way, Janae has recently been concerned that Peaches needs more exercise.  Through a series of negotiations, I was "convinced" that Janae needed a harness and leash for her cat--the only problem was that I said Janae had to wait until her birthday to get it. 

 

Yesterday, though, Janae found another way to take Peaches with her to the park: she put her in a backpack with her furry little face sticking out.

 

Peaches didn't complain at all and actually seemed to enjoy the ride, although she was a little uncomfortable at the park.  I guess that will change with the many more walks to the park sure to come, especially after she gets her harness and leash in a week or so.

 

I don't know who owned Peaches for the nine years she lived before coming to our home, but I'm pretty sure she is having adventures like never before under Janae's care.
