Well done.

NOTES: I'd increase the font size of the first letter of each line by at least four points more than the main body of the lines.

[therisa]

Thank you, Momzilla. Will increasing the font size, for each first letter, make a huge difference to the reader? Just curious.

[MomzillaNC]

Nah. It's just a suggestion for then visual. I thought it'd look cool.

[therisa]

Ok, thank you.

[MomzillaNC]

Remember, T, my notes are only ever suggestions. You're the poet. You and you alone decide what works best for YOUR words.

[therisa]

I know, but like a cat, I'm curious.

[MomzillaNC]

That's another thing… never stop questioning. Curiosity didn't kill the cat, whatever "they" say. Some runt with a rock and too little brains killed the cat… The writer of that saying wasn't curious enough about finding the real culprit.

[therisa]

lol I have living proof, Momzilla, with 3 very curious cats :D

[MomzillaNC]

Three!? Where do you find space on the bed!?

[therisa]

They snuggle up against me, or sleep in their favour spots, around my small apartment.

[therisa]

Besides, I tend to sleep, in a fetal position, Star loves, as she snuggles, against my legs and back.

[MomzillaNC]

LOL. I had a Black Siamese who shared my twin bed my last years in college. I was hard pressed to find room on the bed; he sprawled across it, claiming ownership of 2/3s!

[therisa]

I have taught my little ones, better, by being a very restless sleeper. Getting squish by me, is a very painful experience, not to mention, my sense of guilt for causing them, pain.

[MomzillaNC]

When I sleep, I only move if I'm wakeful. And, Colby (the cat) was a very LARGE Siamese. I had someone ask me once if he was a baby panther!

[therisa]

Ouch, that's huge. Star is big, for a female, but her purr is, like listening to a Harley motorcycle driving by.

[MomzillaNC]

Same with Colby. It was a loud, rattling purr!

[therisa]

I call her, my purring panther, given her glossy black coat.

[MomzillaNC]

We have a small dog now… a miniature schnoodle.

[therisa]

Least, you won't have to worry about shedding fur, anymore.

[MomzillaNC]

That's true. The schnoodle doe not shed. That's why we got him. My son wanted a dog, but is allergic to them. So, we got a hypo-allergenic, no shedding schnoodle.

[therisa]

My cats were, either given to me, or taken in, as a rescued animal (Star, as an abused kitten).

[MomzillaNC]

Gizmo -- the dog -- was a rescue from a puppy mill.

[therisa]

It sadden me, people can be so cruel to other beings, like Gizmo and Star. Star follows me, every where in my apartment, like a puppy.

[MomzillaNC]

Gizmo is the same. Of course, he is a puppy (sort of, he's around 2 and half years old now)

[therisa]

Not entirely sure, how old Star is, but this November marks her 3rd anniversary, in my household.
