Magpie 53

Imagination in a Shaker of Salt
I see you Lucy
Your topaz eyes and
Mischievious nose
Your tail whisking back and forth
Just what will you do now?


Our Lucy has been a mover and shaker since
agreeing to live with us.

  12. thanks everyone for all your nice comments- our kitty is a Korat- old breed from Thailand...but we didn't "buy" her- she was a stray or lost or dropped off. Anyhow- our gain as she is the most intelligent cat we have ever known and she is also so gorgeous with various shades of silvery grey with a triangle of white on her chest. Lucy is perfect. (purrfect)

  13. Kathew,
    Yes, I can see Lucy in there---
    why is it that cats always try to squeeze into any box, no matter how small?
