I'm trying to know what each moment asks me

Today we celebrated the ninth birthday of Tybalt Autolycus Taaffe and Hestia Hermia Linsky-Noyes, once kittens of destiny, now cats of legend. My niece was delighted to point out that she and they are the same age—at least, she corrected herself conscientiously, until December when she becomes older. We gave them salmon. She petted Autolycus and he butted his head into the inside of her wrist again and again.



None of the pictures of headbutting came out, but here she strokes his back very gently.



I left my desk briefly with Bertie and returned to find Simon and Garfunkel's Cecilia, cat edition.



The most beautiful Autolycus on his birthday.



The most beautiful Hestia on her birthday.

In the evening, we lit the yahrzeit candle for my grandmother. It will be her centenary in the spring. These things are always overlapping. I don't think I am used to time.

Happiest of birthdays to the most excellent of cats! They have such fine noses, and such expressive faces.

I am glad for your gain and sorry for your loss.

Oh happy birthday cats!

I also am not used to time, but it doesn't seem like time is willing to make allowances on that basis, sigh.

Oh, gosh, cats. Happy birthdays to them, and to you.

And, yes. Time is confusing. Honor to her.

Happy birthday kitties!

Colour me surprised at, well, Autolycus's colour. I think this is the first photo that's registered on me where he's in direct sunlight and his colour shows through strongly.

KITTIES. So beautiful!

"Havana Brown" is really sending me.

The happiest, purriest of birthdays to your pair of fantastic cats. Hestia is a charming character of a hearth guardian, but my goodness, Autolycus is just a lovebug, isn't he?

These are wonderful birthday cat portraits and I believe they know it as well. Very mature. Very babycat.
