Mr. Romeo welcomes you to another Feline Friday! It happens to be Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, but the cats don’t care. They aren’t interested in shopping. Thank goodness.

And we didn’t even make a big Thanksgiving dinner, so they had no opportunity to beg for bits of people food. Instead, we were invited out to a turkey lunch with friends, which was wonderful, and ended up with just a little pick-up meal in the evening.

Today I’ve got a soup going on the stove using the remains of a Costco chicken we ate earlier in the week. We’ll go pick up some vegetables for the soup a little later, being careful to stay well away from the malls and big box stores.

Anyway, here’s Romeo. Yesterday he followed me around the house for hours and jumped into my lap every time I sat down. If I didn’t make it easy to jump up, he would scratch and bite my feet until I relented. Once in the lap, he turned into the sweetest cat in the world. At one point, I got out a squirt bottle and threatened him with a shot or two of water, but then felt bad for being mean to him. Once I put the water bottle aside, he was right back. It was late in the afternoon when I used my iPad to get this photo of the big guy, somewhat happily occupying my lap.
