Slippers

It has been my wont for years to have slippers that are booty type slippers.  Since I have had Taki, I have tried to wear my slippers as often as I could.  The reason for this is because Taki does not seem to understand about not being underfoot.  So she is often underfoot, and if I wear shoes I kick her, move her, or otherwise bother her with shoes. So, if I wear slippers, the disturbance I cause her is diminished.

My most recent pair of slippers were about 2 years old. And most recently, wearing the slippers has caused me some acute pain on the great toe of my right foot. I could not find a reason for this pain in a pair of socks, and I could not find a reason for the pain elsewhere, even in my slippers.  Except that this pain only occurred when I wore my slippers.

So today, I went shopping for a new pair of slippers.  It is late in the season.  There were no booty style slippers available at the store.  There were some ballet style slippers available. They have treaded soles, and soft low cut bodies.  So, I am using those slippers tonight. They are warm, and are not as stout as shoes so my cats are not confronted with heavy handed foot wear. They are soft enough to bother my cats, and offer warmth, even though I do not have booty style slippers.
