Cats: Doing What They Do Best

One of my closest friends sent me this picture of her son, Adam, and a new addition to the family, Duncan.

This is one of those "they found each other" pairings. Adam has autism, and has preferred to stay away from pets. Duncan, at age 15, is in his golden years, but still has a tremendous spirit after a cancer diagnosis earlier this year cost him his right rear leg.

Nancy was uncertain the pairing would work, but as you can see, they are making their way toward a friendship that will provide a lasting, positive impact for both. We'll know there's been complete success once Duncan sits on the keyboard while Adam tries to maneuver around him.

Happy Monday.
