The intertitles in our silent picture show

[sovay]

I am returned from Providence of much packing and reunited with my own cats whose warmth and weight and colony scent I have been missing, gracious hosts though Lydia and Selwyn were. I don't even want to think about the amount of work I will need to complete in the remaining days of this week, which is why I am going to bed. This message Autolycus-approved.

I feel like I know both of your cats a lot more deeply now! They clearly both have very distinct personalities - but then I think all cats do. I haven't come across the Jenny Linsky books before, though. I guess they don't have the same place in the British cultural consciousness as they do in the American.

(I don't have any more cat icons, I'm afraid! This owl will have to do.)

I think so, too. But I am especially fond of ours. We got lucky.

They're very New York-based. I was delighted and surprised when the NYRB reprinted them because I had met almost no one outside my family who had read them growing up.

It's a good owl! I just have the one cat icon myself and it doubles for queer and Jewish themes and general solidarity.
