Sophie would like me to know that it is time for dinner.
She would really like to go out in the front yard, where she will await her vittles and sit in her sunny spot. I don’t actually feed her at the table. But climbing up there does get my attention when the head bumps of my leg fail to send the message.
Today you get a picture of Thor the gray tabby, because he is very photogenic.
Izzy has been subtly trying to claim Grandma’s blanket as a bed for some time. I pick it up to knit and she comes over for lap time. Usually I am able to move it off to one side so she can’t take up residence, but I failed this time. She was pleased. Until I needed to turn the work. Silly cat.
I hope it is a happy new year. I think the phrase “cautiously optimistic” is probably getting run into the ground at this point, but I remain with reserved hope that this year will be better than the last. To start off the year on a good note, here is one of my favorite cat pictures. I was working on the sink in 2003 and my cat Shadows peeked in to see what I was doing. Her careful observation mirrors my current attitude well.
Here is to this year being filled with the making of things!
Poor kitty cat, finding a scorpion in your water dish was probably unpleasant. I certainly found it unpleasant. But there is the matter of how it got in there, so perhaps you already knew?
Or perhaps it is because the suckers can climb on walls. I’m not sure how well I will sleep to night with this new information.
