Vazra lies near the patio doors soaking up a wee bit of afternoon sunshine when Grendel appears on the scene.
Then Grendel lies down, careful not to disturb the black Persian who does look to be sleeping comfortably, and finally turns to look at Vazra as if to ask, “Excuse me, but is this spot taken?”
Still tinkering with the camera. Sometimes I don’t remember I’ve been tinkering when I decide to grab a serious shot. Most of those mistakes end up in the bit bucket since they’re rather indigestible. Yet some of them, from time to time, offer a visual I hadn’t intended but that is still presentable. This is just such a case.
I wish I could say with certainty who’s lying behind Grendel. Because of the quality of the photo, all I can make out is the ear and black coat. I suspect it’s Kako. In spite of that normally safe assumption, I can’t be sure.
I kept this particular doodad for possible inclusion in the weekly Friday quiz lineup, but it occurred to me it didn’t really fit the bill as a quiz. And then it struck me! Why not use it for The Kids? Might be fun, huh? I thought so, too.
So, here in all their feline glory are the five masters of the universe with their own peculiar aristocratic titles.
His Most Noble Lord Grendel the Incontrovertible of Chignall Duntisbourne
Count-Palatine Loki the Furtive of Leg over Wallop
Duchess Kako the Lackadaisical of Frome Valley
Imperial Majesty Kazon the Venal of Heffton St Mallet
The Very Reverend Vazra the Pertinacious of Throcking in the Hole
[yes, sometimes the intarweb is about nothing more complicated than mindless fun]
