Around here, windows are our favorite thing. It’s a looking glass to the world outside. It seems that my daughter and one of her furry friends spends a lot of time looking out the window. This weeks photo challenge is about windows.

Here are two of my favorites that has to do with windows. The first picture is of my daughter and my parents cat, Eight Ball, both sitting next to one another, looking at the window. When I first snapped the picture it was a time my daughter was making a break through with her autism. She was terrified of most animals, still is, but not as bad as she was before.

After several sessions with hippotherapy, she has shed this fear of animals and starts to move in closer and closer, sometimes close enough to touch, but only for a few seconds or more. This picture was the first time she sat so close to a cat. Eight loves to come up to her to be petted and will sit next to her until she gets up and leaves.

The second picture is of Eight Ball. I just love the double image. He is such a wonderful, loving cat.
