Guarding the Gourds
There is a terrible rumor going around. You may have heard it. It implies, in unkind terms, that cats do nothing but sleep all day. It’s simply untrue.
I know how these rumors get started. To the untrained eye, there is a kernel of truth. The reality, however is this: they’re on stealth guard. What appears as slumber is a clever ploy. Friends (and foes!!!) tiptoe around them to insure undisturbed sleep. Kitty keeps her eyes tightly closed but ready to pounce at a moment’s notice, all the while keeping a close watch on garden treasures.
The next time you see a slumbering feline, take a close look at what’s nearby. Sentinel Kitty might be guarding the Crown Jewels, or something really important, like Sacred Tulips.

Kitty can attest to this untruth!!! And your cats are very lovely.

My favourite kitty photo ever, Mighty Mouse is such a star…LOVE that photo. So funny with your scarfed gourds. Lindy and Slinky must have made peace, they both look totally content and relaxed. Slinky’s photo with your gorgeous tulips would look great Photoshop’d with that watercolour editing mode. It changes photo’s into paintings. I just love the black and purple together, the colour contrast is really interesting. Awwwww, kitties are the best. xK

Wow! I can tell you took a recent photo class. You’ve really noticed a lot of details, including composition and contrast. Love that!
Yes, that Mouse is quite the poser, isn’t he? He just had to sit in that chair, though he didn’t fit all the way. Hard to imagine it was comfortable with that leg dangling like that, but he was snoozing away.
Lindy and Slinky have come to a truce, but Lindy still chases Slink, given the chance. I do think it’s better though.
Thanks for all your kind words and for the never-ending support. You are always a bright spot in my day.

Awww, (( Alys )) I love that I’m able to be your bright spot, I feel the same about you. xK
It’s so cool how much Slinky and Petals look alike, twins! I bet Slinky is better behaved though. O’boy Petals can be naughty. What can you do, it’s her personality 😀

She and Mouse sound like cousins. That cat! He’s nibbled the corners of all my desk top folders. He bites me to give him another treat!!!, he chases Slinky when she runs (thinks it’s a big game) and he climbs up on the bed next to Beijing and falls sound asleep when she’s not looking. He is a character!
How cute that Slinky and Petals look like twins.

Who would’ve guessed, little ol’ unassuming Mouse was such a cad. Chewing your file folders LOL. He really makes himself at home. Do your neighbours read you Blog, that’d be so funny to see your cat snoozing at your neighbours house.
