I find that even on my worst days the ones that make me smile, as hard as it is, are my kids and my kittens. And if I hV any energy I relax doing some colouring.

Morning Justin,

I too find therapy in colouring and love the company of my doglets. I'm into colouring mandalas - what sort of colouring do you enjoy, if you don't mind me asking ? I find it takes my mind off the pain as I am so absorbed in what I'm doing............happy colouring 👍🏻😃😃

Hi. My name is teresa. Will hav to change my username. I love colouring patterns as I too get so obsorbed most the time I forget the horrendous pain I'm in. My 3 big cats are always on my bed with me and my 3 kittens that are 9wks old are so funny and crazy. My big black dog is scared of the kittens but not the others. We also have ferrets and a pony. X

How gorgeous 😊

How many kittens do you have? We have one although BC (before children!) I had four rescue cats.

They know when you are not well and will always be there for you. My kitten is fast asleep on my windowsill at the moment.

I also colour. I like the books with the various pictures and patterns as I can't concentrate for too long on small intricate pieces.

Hugs

Lu xx

I have 3 kittens and 3 big cats. A dog, ferrets and a pony. My cats are always by my side in bed as I rarely get out of bed. My 5 boys are great kids and look after me. The youngest 3 sit and colour with me whole their dad does the housework.

hi,

love the kitty in the photo :) I too have a adult cat; tigger (yes original for a tabby! lol) 2 small dogs and an elderly ginnie. they do help us feel better as animals can sense our energies and comfort us.

we have a large whiskey bottle (type from a pub) label had been torn over the years weve had it so I recently decoupage it, quite enjoyed doing that! :) x

That's something iv not done for ages. I used to own a craft shop in 2002/3 so did most crafts at some point. My big ginger cat is called Garfield, how original I know. My black/white kitten is Felix n torty is star. My 2 big black cats are cutie and Dufus (he has 1 eye). My dog a Belgian shepherd is called wispsa but is FAR from quiet. All my ferrets are rescues as is my sons pony. I need my pets to keep me sane.
