The Cat is Back
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
I was finishing work on one more corporate magazine story and (almost) finding the energy for the next when I happened to look up and out through my office window, toward the garden that has grown wild with summer rain.
There she was. White, pure, perfect with her imperfectly matched eyes. I reached for my camera, opened the door, thought only to photograph her from afar, but (I swear to you), she turned and began hurtling toward me—zipped through the green with jungle speed and took the porch steps two at a time. She stopped at my feet, closed her eyes, arched up. I lost my fingers in her fur.
There is so much beauty to her. I tell her this and her ears fold back, but she doesn't watch me vainly, doesn't turn her back to me with arrogance as beautiful women sometimes do. She stayed for a long time.
Afterward, she watched me from the deck as I stood in the lamp light of the kitchen window.
To whom does she belong?

You?
I wish she belonged to me - she's gorgeous!
She is quite beautiful! Cats are so mysterious. So choosy at times about where their affections are bestowed, and so effusive in their affection once they choose to bestow it upon you.
Cats rock.
Hmm ... I'm thinking maybe she will belong to you pretty soon. She seems to want to.
I wonder if she has a microchip? (Our cat does.)
There is much beauty in these visits she makes to you.
To your camera. You did her justice. Many thanks for such a fantastic photo.
Greetings from London.
Seems like you might have a feline companion.
She's gorgeous! I think she wants to belong to you :)
Cats are the best. Hope she visits you again!
I've never had a cat, but I would love for this one to belong to me. She is beautiful.
We are presently cat-less but had cats for 20 years. The question is always, Who owns whom?
