For some if not many of us, our furry friends are beloved companions and members of the family. So in honor of the too often forgotten members who I think should deserve honorable mention on our family trees, I have started a Furry Friend Friday posting here too!

While visiting my sister-in-law in Tollo, Italy I was struck how her cats loved to bask in the warm sun near her brick ovens. When we returned home, I snapped this photo of our cat Java enjoying a similar sunny day!

This beauty is 19 years old and still as frisky as a kitten! My sons have grown up with him and he has been boss over all of our dogs as well as us — and most cats of the neighborhood too!
