Oblio

I was remiss in not posting pictures of Oblio- His favorite activity is having his tummy scratched ;)

Hello it's me !

Yes,  to my many (12) followers

I haven't posted here in awhile- no shit right?   I haven't been taking any pics lately.. so if I post a photo it is an old one ( from 6 months ago) 

My camera is probably obsolete now- it's huge so taking it around is a chore .

Ishi is still coming around- and now I also have a white cat named Antigone and a white grey patchwork? cat named Oblio

If you haven't watched The Point do so and you'll know where I got the name Oblio from :)

Ok that is enough chit chat.

Ishi

This is Ishi, it took me a long time before I was able to pet him.. He still will never be a lap cat but he's learning to trust again.. Ishi means rock/stone in Japanese

Antigone

This is one of the cats that comes around - She belongs somewhere- but she likes to come and sit with us.    She has extra toes and knows she is special.   Meet Antigone

Sid's day

LOL  I was trying to draw a hat on him or something.  Who knew I was a great artist!   ( This is not his actual birthday just one I made up)

Jane and Ted

Jane and Ted Humane Society.

Jane is one of those truly compassionate people who takes care of the kitties at the HS. She remembers all the cats, their stories and loves to tell adoption stories. Since this picture was taken Ted was adopted !

The Cat's Song

The Cat's Song

Mine, says the cat, putting out his paw of darkness.

My lover, my friend, my slave, my toy, says

the cat making on your chest his gesture of drawing

milk from his mother's forgotten breasts.



Let us walk in the woods, says the cat.

I'll teach you to read the tabloid of scents,

to fade into shadow, wait like a trap, to hunt.

Now I lay this plump warm mouse on your mat.



You feed me, I try to feed you, we are friends,

says the cat, although I am more equal than you.

Can you leap twenty times the height of your body?

Can you run up and down trees? Jump between roofs?



Let us rub our bodies together and talk of touch.

My emotions are pure as salt crystals and as hard.

My lusts glow like my eyes. I sing to you in the mornings

walking round and round your bed and into your face.



Come I will teach you to dance as naturally

as falling asleep and waking and stretching long, long.

I speak greed with my paws and fear with my whiskers.

Envy lashes my tail. Love speaks me entire, a word



of fur. I will teach you to be still as an egg

and to slip like the ghost of wind through the grass.

To Kona

K,

Today I spelled out your name in stones.  I went to the coffee shop to write postcards. and when I came home there was a butterfly on the dirt where we buried you.  I know the empty hole in my heart will lessen in time. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life for 13 plus years.

You belong among the wildflowers
