Dreaming on a Bed of Jasmine

Yesterday, Zeus, our sixteen pound orange tabby, took a moment to stop and smell the jasmine as he walked past it along our back patio. He slowly bent down over the long vines, nuzzled the budding flowers and lingered over their sweet smell for a while as if he was greeting a long lost friend. So, as any loving kitty mommy would do, I made him a garland to adorn his neck, and there he lay on our dining room table in dreamy slumber surrounded by the aroma of spring.
