A look of concern…

A lot has been happening in my life since January; it has been, as the Chinese curse says, interesting times. As a consequence I’ve not written much in my weblog, as anything I might write about has been overcome by events (OBE).

Today I decided to add a bit of whimsy to my weblog with another photo of Luke in his favorite spot in the house, on the kitchen counter-top next to the sink. He’ll either sit and purr or walk over next to me and head bop me for rubs and scritches. And that face, with those eyes. I know he can’t talk but I sometimes wish he could.

I’ve also decided on the following rules for writing:

  1. This is a weblog, not a blog, and
  2. I write in my weblog, not ‘blog.’ The word ‘blog’ is neither a real word in spite of common usage over the decades, nor is it a verb.

Luke getting head skritches
Beau in deep sleep

I’m glad this is a Caturday. I’m glad I have a house full of furry happy characters. They’re so sweet. To paraphrase an old saying, the more I know people the more I love my cats (and my dogs too, for that matter).

Luke is always marching into my lap and settling in for rubs and skritches. This photo of him should show you just how big his head is in comparison to my hand. His head is about as big as a softball, which, to me, for a domestic short-hair house cat is pretty darn big. What you can’t hear are the constant and loud purrs of contentment coming from Luke. As a side note, would you look at the long whiskers on that boy!

When Beau wants to sleep, he doesn’t want to be disturbed. He will tuck his head underneath a foreleg and wrap his tail around himself, so that he’s a compact bundle of sleeping ginger cat. I don’t know what it is they do to get so tired, but whatever it is it must be pretty intense.

Top photo was grabbed with my iPhone 11, the bottom was taken with a first generation (the original!) Olympus E-M5 and 1.8/45mm M.Zuiko lens.
