Shadow

This is Shadow the long haired black meadow cat that hangs out with Mr Tom, my neighbor’s cat. I’m not sure what other names he goes by, I call him Shadow because he follows Mr Tom around and is black. Shadow has one white whisker, but also doesn’t understand photo shoots. He assumes my presence means he gets brushed, so the photo is hilariously bad.

Unexpected light show

I set up our laser holiday lights, but forgot to turn the timer from “on” to “timer” and when I let Sophie out for her morning constitutional was greeted with quite a spectacular laser show through the morning mist.

Music and cats

I told y’all that I loved that picture of Thor on the Old Man of the North chair. I love it so much I made it a profile picture, and the app gave Thor a thought bubble that said “Share a song”. Now the picture is perfect: music and a cat.

Even though the Old Man’s face is obscured, the “wind” swirls still make it aesthetically pleasing.

Pretty boy

I love this picture. Thor found the side sleeper pillow I threw onto our vintage wood chair and posed quite regally. The curve of his whiskers follow the curve of the carved back of the chair, and it gives me a giggle that it looks like the Old Man is licking the cat’s head.

Painted bunting

I added a bird to my list of sightings! We had a painted bunting visit our bird feeder. What a pretty bird!

He was flirting with a female on the new bird feeder, and I love this photo where the female is getting after him and I caught him leaning away.
