What a great photo! I think we could all learn something from cats when it comes to knowing how to rest! Cats are such great nappers. And I love your new banner, too!

Your cat-cats are ADORABLE.
Is there any animal more snoozatious than a cat?
My Jack sleeps about 99% of the day and night. What a great gig!
Your post, and the poem, reminded me though [sadly] of my favorite cat, as a kid. His name was Joe.
And he was totally all black. He loved to eat those big huge grasshoppers, the kind that fly around with a clacky noise!
After we had Joe for about 10 years, he made the mistake of wandering into our Evil-As-Hell neighbor’s yard, and they trapped him… knowing full well what they were doing. Then they called the Human Society and Joe was hauled away, and euthanized before we could find out his whereabouts.
I will never forget the day when we finally found out what had really happened, and my dad tore a strip off the neighbors as they worked in their damn garden.
I listened, from yonder.
It was where I learned how to swear good, and to love my dad better.

I’ve heard that the most common cat name is “Kitty” (don’t know if it’s true, but I do happen to have a friend with a cat named Kitty). Cat-Cat is much more original! I love it!

I always forget what a good poet Margaret Atwood is. Thank you for reminding me. I loved the story about Cat-Cat pouncing on the poodle’s tail - just a delight. My first cat, Boris, used to have a fascination with toes appearing out of frothy bath water. We would call ‘fiiiiishyyyyy, Boris!’ and he’d leap up on the side of the bath and make swipes at you. How we never ended up with a cat in the bath or lacerated toes, I do not know.

My cats are also black and tabby, but they certainly aren’t as friendly as yours… on different ends of the same sofa is as close as they get! Good to find your blog, Fiona
