Nope, I didn’t even notice that Mary-In-My-Wine below until I came home from Italy and printed out my pictures. And I have to admit that I didn’t even notice her. Bethany, who has a scary-good eye for the Strange, pointed it out to me. Love her. Hello, Madonna.
Feeling: Tired. Cough-ey. More tired. Feeling not much like writing, so I’ll give you some photos.
These little cats have been my saving grace this week. Did you read the new Atwood, Oryx and Crake? Where, in the future, the cat’s purr is found to be healing? She had something there. Today was the day, in my plans, that Digit and perhaps Adah went outside for the first time. Two factors are holding me back. One, I’m just too tired to deal with worrying about their first foray and when/whether they’ll come back. Two, Digit really hasn’t seemed to mind it much yet. I’m considering keeping him inside! I don’t think it’ll last – he’s the kind of cat that usually gets desperately depressed when not allowed to go outside, but he hasn’t started his frantic behavior yet. He howls, but only for a moment and it seems to be more for show than anything else. I’m enjoying so much the camaraderie that they’ve found being stuck together in a foreign place. Used to be that Digit couldn’t be closer than three feet to Adah or he’d hiss and whine. Now look:
Those are the flowers Christy gave me, aren’t they lovely? I’m passionate about anything orange right now, and I love tulips.
In fact, let’s frame those gorgeous kits against them:
And this one below kills me. I got up from the couch last night to make yet another cup of tea. When I walked past this composition I had to slap my hand over my mouth from laughing out loud in delight. Oh, I WISH I could have seen it happen. Digit would never have got up on the chair if Adah were there, so he must have been there first. And I can just imagine his long-suffering look when Adah jumped up. But he stayed!
All right, for not feeling like typing, I’ve typed enough. On the mend, truly. I promise. And I’m not overdoing it. Too tired to overdo it…..
Off to rest again. Mwah (I’m not contagious anymore….).
Glad the kitties are there to purr you to wellness. (The future is now!)
Sending you healing vibes and looking forward to the post that says you all better.
XOXO
Of course I’m glad you’re feeling better, but I really just wanted to comment on how fabulous the second photo is!
There is no need to make decisions about the outdoors now. Keep the kits with you until you are well. xoxo
Slowly, but surely. Hooray for the healing powers of Digit & Adah!
Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. The kitties are too cute. I love the chair shot. We are having unfriendly fish issues again. I sometimes wonder if I should just flush the bullies…but I don’t have it in me.
Well, hooray, you DO sound like you’re feeling better. Don’t press your luck, though, OK? You AND the kitties stay in at least one more day. Wish I were there to make tea for you . . .
Hope you feel better soon! Keep him in forever! Indoor kitties usually live 3 times as long as outdoor kitties. (My first 2 lived ’til 16 each) If he keeps liking staying inside just go with it.
Love the photos! Orange tulips and cat company are among the highest healing gifts I can think of….right up there with laughter and good music.
I’m sure he is staying in to make sure YOU do….be all better soon, k?
A cat’s purrs ARE healing, no joke! There ia a scientific theory that they purr in order to maintain their bone health (something about the vibrations…) I see the Madonna in the wine, but to me it looks like a naked guy with his hands on his hips… What does that say about me, I wonder?

I can imagine few things that are more healing than a cat purring…I am partial to my kitties for curing purposes, but I have no doubt that Adah and Digit are contributing to your return to good health! I caught your quote in the new Vogue knitting, and was so excited…Very fun! Keep taking care and drinking tea (also great healing powers in that!)…
Awww, kitties and tulips! Lovely!
Yay for kitty pics! The middle one is tres artistic, m’dear…but I reverted to my high-pitched squealing baby voice when the one of the two of them in the chair downloaded. Awwwwwww. No wonder you’re feeling better. Must have serious talk with Scout.
