Snapshot #52

Our cat, Scout, is solid black. I call this one, “Inkblot on a Rug.”

What’s Up, Pussycat?

Patches had been in this position, motionless for the past five minutes.   
I don’t believe her eyes have blinked the entire time. 

If I weren’t a chicken I’d look up to see what has her so fascinated. Please, oh please don’t let it be a gigantic woman-eating spider!

Peace, people!

Poor Pitiful Feline

 

 
This is our talkative cat, Patches. She’s had at least five treats today, but is that enough? Apparently not. 

Please ignore my horribly annoying voice, even if it does provide the biggest clue as to why I didn’t go into broadcast journalism.

Peace, people!

Badger

At Tallahassee Animal Services there’s an adult male cat named Badger. He’s the sweetest guy and loves to be snuggled and groomed. But Badger has only one eye, so people barely pause by his kennel. 

Sometimes they look in, but I’ve not seen one person ask to take him out and hold him. Of course I’m only at the shelter for a couple of hours each week. I fervently hope that he gets some attention when I’m not there.

I’ve begun taking him out of his kennel at the beginning of my shift and again before I leave. We talk. I tell him my problems and he listens like a pro. He, on the other hand, never complains. But he does wink, and you know a girl enjoys a good wink.

Badger is an easygoing guy with a sweet personality. He’d make a fine companion. 

 

Showing his best side.
 
Remember, don’t shop, adopt!

Cat Dreams

chittering softly
sleeping kitten stirs in dreams
paws prepare to pounce.

who knows what she hunts
behind tightly shuttered eyes?
mew! she cries, sweet dreams.
