Cats!

I glanced out the rear window this afternoon and look what I found! Our visiting cat, Goldie, taking his ease on one of the patio chairs.



He apparently valued his rest more than his safety as I moved closer and closer, snapping pictures. He wouldn't even look up or, most of the time, open his eyes. Even when I reached out and petted him several times. The only sign of recognition was his flexing his toes on one foot.

Meanwhile, Smoke, whose chair Goldie had appropriated, showed utter disdain and boredom with the whole thing.

  1. That isn't utter disdain. That's the quintessential portrait of a cat plotting revenge!

  2. Oh, not that cat. Smoke is a total pacifist.

  3. Well, plotting or pacifist, Smoke is beautiful. Is he a Russian blue?

  4. I doubt it. He's just a stray gray cat.

  5. Could be a Russian Blue from the looks of him (looks just like my brother's Russian Blue). He definitely is a handsome fellow.

  6. Oh, okay, he's a Russian Blue, with a pedigree back to Ivan the Terrible. (not)
