cold Very cold


you may wonder
what a cat is doing in a bowl
it's cold
the bowl keeps the draft out


when you're sitting in front of the fire

when not full of cat
it is also useful for
dyeing scraps of velvet

  2. I swear there are eyes looking back from that fire. The cat in the cauldron sees them too.
    Gorgeous velvet!

  6. Such a gorgeous shot. Brings happy memories for me. Like Donna's, my last cat used to get herself snug into all sorts of tight fit boxes and bowls. She used to get in my students violin cases while we were playing music.

  7. i was honoured by another red cat once
    the traveling kind
    who came and stayed with us for a while
    he always sat in the saxophone case while i practiced
    sadly he wandered off again while i was away teaching
    missed the sax, i guess
    even though he was being fed

  11. Your cat is defying the cold - your velvet defies description. May be a sensible cat, but that cloth made some miraculous decisions :>]

  14. It seems like that bowl is pretty useful. The cat is so adorable. He looks comfy inside the bowl he must have liked it so much.

  15. It is a cat's best trick

    I had one that would lie in the fruit bowl.
