Ease

Our cat Julie at ease at the sun - but would you like that pillow?!!

Ferocious Falklands Cat

Oh, beware!

Julie

Here is our cat Julie doing what she does best: lying all day on the softest thing she can find. She's pretending not to notice I'm taking her picture - so blasé!

The Cat Who Walked By Himself

One of my favorite stories by Rudyard Kipling is The Cat Who Walked By Himself. But he wasn't thinking of this cat at the Morgan Horse Barns near the beginning of Bear Valley Trail. For one, this is not Himself but Herself and secondly, she has her shadow with her.

For your reading pleasure, the first paragraph of Kipling's short story:

HEAR and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was, O my Best Beloved, when the Tame animals were wild. The Dog was wild, and the Horse was wild, and the Cow was wild, and the Sheep was wild, and the Pig was wild--as wild as wild could be--and they walked in the Wet Wild Woods by their wild lones. But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.
