Jealous



Henri at Halloween, so appropriate.


A thought just occurred to me, about black cats and Halloween. In some areas, black cats become targets for those with evil thoughts around this time. The Boston Animal Rescue League gave explicit warnings, and questioned us closely on why we preferred a black cat (we think they are smarter) when we adopted Moby eight years ago. And Moby, then Midnight, was simply our cat, perfect for us, a gorgeous panther.

I'm at work, cheating by reading blogs. Now, I cannot get anthing done...and I truly thank you for it. I am so grateful for this wonderful break in my otherwise dull, dull, hell of a day!

I think I am in love with Henri...though not as much as with Moby.

I suspect most people at ordinary work today in your part of the world are not getting a lot done. This does not include those on repair/clean-up work.

Sounds rather prejudicial to judge a cat by its color.

Back again to say thank you, once more, for pointing the way to Henri. I have now watched 5 or 6 of his films noir - too funny!

Now, I really must get to work. Don't want to, but there it is. What can one do when one works for a paycheck? I am not my own cat...uh, woman...anymore.

Sigh.

Phil,
And yet, people do. I tend to think black cats are smarter, because they are still around despite the prejudices. There is also some evidence that black & white animals are also more tame.
