Morning!

Captain, Chaucer

Body Language

Captain:
sending me signals.
Those ears back, and that tail like a metronome.

Captain, Shakespearean

Captain, helping: "Read your Shakespeare."

Note: I was in the laundry room to settle the unsettled washer again.  While I was sitting upon the washing machine, I had thought to do a little homework or a little pleasure reading.  Captain helped me to settle upon the classic.

Shelf-Life

Captain in comfort.

Captain, Helper

My good cat Captain loves to help me with the laundry.

What that means:  Our washer is not balanced properly, so until I adjust the machine, the washer flips out and becomes unbalanced and galumphs galumphs galumphs.  I tend to grab a book to read and just sit atop the washer (instead of dealing with the balance issues).  Captain, bless his soul, likes to help me and comes running when he hears the imbalanced washer struggling--and so we both sit atop the washer.

Yesterday while I was at work, the washer was in operation and Captain heard the imbalance and came running to the rescue, standing atop the heaving machine and gentling it with his weight, just a bit.

Playing with Sam:

Feeling ill's upside.

Captain: A Sequence

Captain, sleeping: arms and legs in the air.

A silly sequence of a lovable boy.

For JW.

Captain, Dancing

Mourning Motley: Old Shots

I miss my girl.

Last Day: Motley

Motley: rest in peace, dear sprite.

April 1, 2005 - June 2, 2015.

Thank you for twenty years of love, companionship, and bossy cat pranks.

It's quite remarkable how a five-pound cat (once thirteen pounds, but still) could fill up a whole house.

Motley-girl requested another neck-rub.

Motley: Companion

Motley: 19+ years-of-age; 7 lbs. (down from 14 at her prime); sore and sleepy.
Still a beautiful bundle of love.  Demanding, yes, but she's earned it.

Hey Nineteen

Happy Nineteenth Birthday to Motley-girl.

(Kudos to Steely Dan for the title and a good song.)

Motley Dream

Sleeping hard.
