My cats LOVE the tube. But it’s a little disquieting at times. I don’t have a photograph yet, but when there is one cat head first in at one end and another cat sticking out at one of the side holes or the other end… well, it’s a tube cat. A bit worrisome. Kind of a cat/snake cross. It doesn’t help that the tube really matches Elwha’s coloring. I am learning to step over the tube quite carefully because sometimes there are hidden paws.
Elwha barely fits in the side entrances. Cats can do that snakey thing of going through a space that really looks too small for them.
Ok, so the reason the bath mat is on the rack is because it is WET. And what does Sol Duc do? Climb right one and lie on it. Me: “The bath mat is wet AND the rack can fall down.”
Sol Duc: “I am totally loving wet bath mat plus it needs fur.”
Me: “All we need is for Elwha to join in.”
Siblings can be SOOOO annoying.
OOOOOoooo this fits the Ragtag Daily Prompt for Monday: PITCH. As in Sol Duc’s fur, pitch black.
I am going through photographs. This is Elwha before Christmas. “Why stick with lights, mom? What is it for?” Good question.
“I still do not understand the stick with lights and branches. But I love you anyhow, mom.”
Well, the stick with lights was ok when it got knocked over by young curious cats Elwha and Sol Duc. And I added four branches, but not a whole tree. I was traveling anyhow, so I did not want a formerly live tree.
Sol Duc and Elwha study the mystery of the sweat pants cords. Why do they move so intriguingly sometimes and at other times lie on the floor and do nothing?
Maybe You could be a cat Independent A bit snotty Refusing to share your thoughts Keeping your secrets Enjoying refusing to answer questions Macavity the mystery cat when something happens He’s never there
You could be an elk
Guarding the herd
While the elder ladies
Lead it through the woods
At certain times of year
You bugle
And want them
And they/we/I mew
And you find me
And we both enjoy it
Very much
I am a cat too
independent
I will travel alone
If you won’t travel with me
I will find other music
If you won’t play with me
I enjoy it when you come round
Very much
I keep my claws sharp
Just in case I need them
If I long for cuddles and purring
That is my problem
I am a lady elk
Confident in the woods
I let you do the guarding and bugling
While I lead the herd
Up and over the ridges
The spine of the mountain
The spines of the dragons
Elwha and Sol Duc
I know them well
I hear you bugle
And think about whether this time
I will mew
Or not
I have found new forage
And the loggers are changing the forest
You bugle anyhow
Even if I am distracted
I like to work
But I like to mew too
Maybe we will come together Now and then Cats or elks or humans Maybe.
My father read me T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats when I was little. He loved Macavity the mystery cat, called the Hidden Paw. And my goodness, the cat outfits in this show are quite something!
I am not purdy. I am a cat. I am how cats are. Stop making fun of my tongue or else. I am a black cat and you will regret it if you don’t stop making fun of me.
