Look both ways

I always teach The Kids to be safe by being responsible.  That includes looking both ways before doing… well, doing just about anything.  With five cats in the house, it’s a sure bet you can easily be run over during a simple walk across the room.  I’ve seen such tragedies with my own eyes!

How apropos

“In a cat’s eye, all things belong to cats.”

— English proverb

A close-up of Kako's eyes in natural light (205_0515)

You have no idea how true that quote is when it comes to Kako. . .  In her case, all she surveys belongs to her; every living thing her subject, every object a slave to her whims, and every inch of space her domain to command.

Don’t sniff the light!

I heard that in a movie once.  Or was it “Don’t go into the light!”?  I can’t remember which. . .

That’s Grendel takin’ a little siesta in the bit of sunlight we saw a few days ago.  Such occasions have been rare, of course, but are increasing, so all of The Kids take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself.

Oh, and here’s a wider shot demonstrating he was indeed being a lounge lizard, a couch potato, a carpet kitty if you will.  Or, in the parlance of those in the know, he was being a typical feline by locating and hogging the available warmth from sunshine.
