Saturday morning: The Seagull Lady


Every morning the "Seagull Lady" walks by the big parlor window throwing food for the birds. Today my newest cat a young male flown from Russia, who has many names of endearment that describe his beautiful silver classic tabby and white markings, Conte' or Contesha, "The Continent"... today his courage brought him to the highest climbing spot by the window, on top of the pink barbie cage. Its Saturday the "Bird Lady" comes by throwing seed and bread while seagull's call and swoop Contesha eyes wide, head darting back an fourth, he loved the show! Usually he prefers sleeping in the cat bed in the closet or under the bed, today his confidence has grown enough to bring him to the favorite scene of all cats "birdies" and he was rewarded with the sight of noisy swooping and diving seagulls.
Usually the bird Lady comes by really early in the morning at early twilight and the blinds are shut, then Queenie takes charge and paws at the blinds to get me up so the kitties can watch the birds, if that doesn't work she puts her face against mine touches my shut eyelids or gets under the sleeping mask I sometimes wear to block out streetlights it's their favorite entertainment Ruby daughter of Queenie just walks through the blinds, standing with front paws on the window!
