She, also, hates to be photographed so I have to sneak pictures now and then. But I have learned (remember that SWMBO) to ask her permission before I publish one.
She was working in the yard recently and I got a couple that she agreed, reluctantly, to let me post. I like this one in her "Vincent Van Gogh" hat.
So, I got away with a couple. And then. There's her companion, Mr. Blackwell.
He's the only one of the trio who gets to go outside and that permission was granted reluctantly, as reluctantly as SWMBO allowed me to post photos of her. But he has become accustomed to our home. He loves to go out. But he's become so fat that he can no longer go under the fence to free land. And he's become very accustomed to the regular feeding he gets inside.
So, he goes out, stays in the yard and comes in again when we ask him.
Good cat.
Ryder-Haggard before Rumpole, in fact, from the adventure novel, later the film 'She', I think.
ReplyDeleteNice hat Mrs Cat!
WV - 'articat', very appropriate!

ReplyDeleteHi SWMBO! I LOVE Rumpole - I've listened to all the audio books my library had.
ReplyDeleteTell SWMBO I adore the chignon, as well as the Van Gogh hat.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll be dogged, as the boys in the Old West sometimes said. Lucy, while I have often heard of the book "She", I have never read it and had no idea the title "She Who Must Be Obeyed" went further back than Rumpole. Now, I'm curious and will seek out the book. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs for the other compliments from you, Bug and Tess . . SWMBO is modestly grateful.
We must listen to our better halfs. That black cat is sure getting big.
ReplyDeleteThat black hat can't get lost, that's good.
ReplyDeleteBetter respect Mrs SWMBO so that one day perhaps she will agree to have her...
Perfect Van Gogh's hat for the summer!
Yes, Steven, we must. And that little black cat has become a fat one.
ReplyDeleteTherese (darn, I wish I could do those accents) that black cat was once a little forlorn, scarred-up kitten who we took in. And just look at him now!
To answer your "statement" I don't like this kind of "economics" and would have preferred to enter the real thing!
