Naughty Spot

Spot knows he's not supposed to be up on the stove, but the smell of meat on that pan was apparently irresistible.  I liked how the light over the stove shows that although he seems black to my eyes, he's apparently a gorgeous brown.  Hand-held, so I'm not sure how well the enlarged version will look.

Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving is called Black Friday in the US. I don't do a lot of shopping, but the name does give me the opportunity to post a portrait of Spot, the black cat.  He's getting older, and is just a bit grizzled but he still has that twinkle in his eye!

Spot escapes!

This is my buddy Spot.  Every spring, he gets a serious itch to get outside, to the point where one can hardly get through the door without him trying to dash through.  Well, he beat me this morning and out like a shot ran Spot.  He doesn't get out all that much, and he stopped at the grass (which has got desperately tall in just a few days) and just... stopped.  Sat in the sunshine and munched some tall grass like a feline Huck Finn.  When he was satisfied he came right to me and we went back in, safe and sound.

Healthy cat

I've been eating yoghurt in the morning and Spot has been stalking me. Today I decided to give him the empty container. Apparently the smell was enough to entice him to put his whole head in there to get that last little bit.
