The ocean only half as deep

In honor of Black Cat Appreciation Day, Autolycus is appreciating his catnip mouse and the Big Dill.

(Hestia declined to contribute her picture, being too busy rabbit-kicking the feathers off her own mouse under the summer kitchen table.)

I did a lot of black cat appreciation yesterday

Fortunately, cats can be appreciated in all seasons, even with a frequency of more than once a day.

She is fonder of mugging me when I'm taking my clothes out of the dryer and having an Extreme Petting Emergency in a Siamese Voice all over the top of the dryer.

Aw!

When I have my computer set up at a desk that Hestia can access, she often leaps up and demands petting when I am trying to do anything else, and when we had the cats briefly on the sun porch a few days ago so that spatch could shop-vac the summer kitchen, I was charmed and touched that when I sat down at my mother's computer, suddenly I found a Hestia beside me.

Autolycus looks remarkably boneless, I mean more than a cat ordinarily would.

Rob has been known to call him the Teddy Bear Cat.
