• Abigail says “Happy St. Valentine’s Day”

  I’m not a photographer but once DID take a lovely photo of our calico cat, Abigail. She was a weird one with sort of a telephone fetish. Every time I answered or was making a call, she’d jump up and purr and rub against my arms and the telephone for the duration of the call. She was also the messiest eater from having to compete for food as a newly weaned kitten and living in a basement with other kittens and puppies too…not a good environment for a young kitten. She’d grab her food from the dish and back up away from the dish to eat it…and leave some on the floor. I kept the Star Press newspaper under her food dish changing it often everyday.  She was a beautiful animal, however, and kept herself very clean. Daughter Val and Mark (aka “murisopsis” and “Sparky”) brought their two cats one weekend and taught Abigail some very bad habits, like using the dining room table for hanging out and resting or napping. She knew it was verboten and would almost kill herself in her haste to get down if I came into the room! Anyway, here’s Abigail in a photo I took in natural light since the sun was shining in through our living room’s picture window.
