I rest my head on his shoulder

[sovay]

I met our local ward boss this afternoon: a longish-haired, black-and-white cat sauntering across the street to meet a trio of children on their own front steps. When I asked if the cat was theirs, I was told that he belonged to the neighbors, but roamed as he pleased. His collar declared him to be friendly and not lost. He butted my hands for attention and then returned to his constituency. I did not think to take his portrait, but I did photograph the trees reflecting like oil in Alewife Brook. I remain incredibly tired.

Very pleased that you have such an amenable ward boss, and that he makes sure to mingle with his constituency ^_^

He was purringly conscientious about kissing the babies.

I'd follow his recommendations for local elections.

Even though, in general, I prefer my cats to be indoor cats, and will lobby newcomers to cat owning to keep them indoors, I really enjoy cats with patrols, who know all the neighbors and occasionally stop to greet passers-by. So. Glad you met the ward boss.

So. Glad you met the ward boss.

Thank you! He seemed well-heeled and and people-oriented, a must for a local politician.

I'm of a similar mind to julian as regards roaming cats, but I can absolutely appreciate a well-cared-for, friendly ward boss. He sounds like a purrfectly delightful gentlebeing indeed, and I'm a sucker for a fluffy tuxedo anyway. *sends pets*

May you get a night's restful sleep tonight!

I shall convey your appreciation from a distant district the next time we meet.

May you get a night's restful sleep tonight!

Thank you!
