Telling tales, of walking in wild places, of painting, of sleeping in warm places and of mice and other things....

Helping paws
The barest whisker of a cat-claw moon hides behind a pelt of thick cloud and only the brightest of stars shines its light on the world, and She is frantic with doodling to try and finish Her book on time. So I, well, I, must rest for her. And this I do well.
In this house of too many cats there are those who help prepare food, fold laundry, drink tea. There is one who likes to arrange quilt blocks and re-distribute pins, two who like to type, one who reads books, always blocking the light. Bed-making is a communal activity. Sometimes I think I have too many helpers. They know exactly when to purr and look beguiling.
When first we started there were four of us, all ginger, and Max. Time has passed. The ginger pride are ghost cats, appart from Elmo. Now the house holds Max, oldest, tabby farm cat, dark, usually found sleeping on a cushion, Elmo, last of the Gingers, beautiful handsome and wonderful who still walks to the high hill top. And now there is Baggage and Bundle, silver mischief in sharp clawed kitten form. The adventures continue.

How very, very generous of you sweet Elmo.

Well done that cat! Jolly good show. Carry on number one!
Hope all goes well Jackie. It will be worth the wait as they should know.
Elmo the Gorgeous!
If all of you cats and dogs had a large napping pile then She would be bound to finish up doubly quick!!
Mom said she could kiss those paws they're so scruptious!
