The flower withers and blooms

Hello and Welcome

My mom calls me Macdol. I am a large male cat and the last addition to the mountain sanctuary, which when translated means a little hut for the wind and clouds where you can rest for a while. People may say that I am quite stocky. I am most certainly not fat! I don’t remember where and when I was born, but some years ago I wandered onto the mountain and found mom’s hut at the very top of the hill. I totally loved the place and decided to make it my home too. At first, my other siblings didn’t like me at all, except the little multi-colored girl. She is sweet and the only one who plays with me. You’ll get to know them all better a little later. My mom is incredible but not just because she’s my mom, although that helps of course. Having a cat like me around is bound to enhance your being! Seriously though, she is a perfect mom who takes care of us well. She is a courageous and creative woman. She often laughs at me because I look silly whenever I jump to catch a butterfly. Anyway I digress, my mom paints, writes and sings, as well as playing ukulele and growing her own food. I especially love chilling by mom when she works in the garden. So, now you know a little about me I would like to introduce you to my mom’s story. Please make yourself comfortable, then we can begin...... The story is about how life makes its own way.
