Feline Friday on May Day!
I am glad to have the opportunity to share another Feline Friday before returning to San Francisco for Surgery. It’s possible I’ll be able to gather enough photos for another week before we leave, but that’s not at all certain. Meanwhile, I’ll probably mine 20 years from our cat archives while we’re away.
A couple of new boxes appeared this week delivering a pair of new carry-on suitcases. The cats don’t care about the contents, but they are most interested in the boxes. As soon as I opened one and removed the contents, the cats all took turns claiming the right to sit inside. I think I managed to get photos of all four cats as they looked out at the world from inside the box.
And you should also note that the original Amazon box converted to a cat nest remains a favorite, and Kiki continues to spend time relaxing on the Scratch Lounge.
When you get right down to it, cats are pretty easy to please.
In any case, enjoy this week’s cats.
Feline Friday returns!
The cats are back this week after being absent last week due to my last round of medical commuting between Honolulu and San Francisco!
There is healing power in cats, although it’s a power likely shared by animal companions of all kinds.
Being home sharing time with them adds a needed layer of stress relief!
This time I was surprised to realize that Kiko was most excited by our return, edging out Kinikini, who has been the longtime leader in this category.
Kiko was first at the door when we arrived from the airport, and then it seemed like every time I sat down at the dining table for more than 30 seconds, a black and white cat would mysteriously appear in my lap, waiting to receive pets and begin the drooling routine. She doesn’t really announce herself, she just appears.
No, that isn’t quite accurate. Sometimes her sudden appearances are preceded by a few seconds of zoomies as she streaks around the room, leaps wildly on the table, and then slips past my left arm directly onto my lap. Most of the time I’m barely aware of the process as it is underway, and only recreate it in my mind as the drooling begins.
In any case, suffice it to say that the cats are happy that we’re home, and we’re equally happy to see each of them!
Saturday at dawn
Today has offered a respite from the past several days of rain.
We walked down to the beach park to watch the sunrise. Didn’t see the sun. And we didn’t run into any of our regular dogs.
Here’s my favorite image of the morning.
