The Rosary Cat, part two

Normally we say the Rosary upstairs. As soon as the cat (Regina) hears the beads, she comes in to join us.

But last night we said the Rosary downstairs, as a guest was over and joining us.

On cue, as the beads came out, Regina walked into the den. She was a bit put out, as 1) we were in the wrong spot, and 2) all the seats were taken. But she joined us, sitting in the middle of the room... at least until the Fourth Glorious Mystery.

She decided she MUST find a spot to pray. So on cue, just as we began the Assumption, Regina LEPT UP onto the back of the upholstered chair the guest was sitting in. Said Guest screamed as Regina flew airborne above her head. The Cat flew back down and tore out of the room...

I thought it was at least a visual aid for the mystery... the first part anyway, when she was on her way up.

After we were all settled and praying again, Regina came back in, eyes wide... but knowing she MUST be here for the Rosary. She finally decided that there was enough room on the couch next to me, and she sat there.

Once the Rosary ended, as usual, she got up and left.

And that was quite a lesson in perseverence in prayer!
