I bought a new camera last week so I can take better pictures of my metal work. You can read about it here. Which means I can now take better pictures of the wee kitty known as Boots, Princess Fluffy, El Cato Rancho, Boots-si-kins, etc...  Portrait Mode - ISO:400, Av:4.5; Tv: 1/60, Flash: On  Auto No Flash Mode - ISO:3200; Av: 4.5; Tv: .3"; Flash: Off.

Yes, Boots has a new spot. It is on a quilt, on the bannister, at the top of the stairs. Note: That bannister over looks the entry way below. YES, below. If she falls that is over a 16 foot drop. And she JUMPS onto the bannister from the landing and over the bags of my weaving yarn. She then settles down and lays there watching us walk by. 
This is now our morning ritual. I come downstairs, from getting ready for work, Erich is still packing my lunch so I take the fish on an elastic string (cost $3 at Walmart) and I drag it along the floor and make it “disappear”. Boots then pounces on it and when she lets go I flip it into the air and she jumps and well, you get the picture. Quite recently she has started to roll onto her back and play with it that way. I don’t understand why she holds it in her front paws and then uses her back paws to poke and scrape/claw/punch it. It must be an instinctual thing so she could “kill” or rip open her pray that she caught. Have you ever seen this???      I was in my office/studio/bonus room yesterday. Besides working on this new version of kernology, I was was working on a silver bracelet in the Arts & Crafts style (sorry not done yet, no peaking), and this was my companion. This is Boots, the cat that adopted us almost 3 years ago. Most mornings she sleeps on a quilt in the family room. Then in the afternoons she comes up and sleeps on the window seat in my office. I think it is because it is warm(er) because the window faces west and it gets the afternoon sun. But there she was, sleeping, with me listening to music, sawing, filing, and hammering away on the silver.  |
