Sleeping through #Caturday (sharing a sketch and a little extra)

 

Just a sketch on a Saturday afternoon...

And a little fun with watercolors...

Leo and the Christmas Tree

Just a fun post to share some highlights of our youngest feline, Leo's first Chirstmas.

So what's in this box...






It's up and someone else sneaked in to reap the benefits...


Close-up on Beanie (who adores tinsel and Christmas trees)...


Leo examines things from a different angle...


Yay!



Wishing you all a merry Christmas...

Are some cats more empathic than others?

Yesterday, there was a car accident around the corner. Quite a loud smash. All three of our cats were startled by the sound, but two of them went right back to sleep. Not Beanie, the 14-year-old female. She continued to look distressed (despite reassurances and a little bit of TLC), for as long as the stricken vehicles still stood there and as the traffic police took down statements. I should add that all of this went on completely outside her field of vision. There were sirens, briefly, but no loud voices or arguing that I could hear. Yet Beanie only relaxed once everything had been cleared up.

So, what would you say? Are some cats more empathic than others?



(This particular photo of Beanie had been taken some years ago.)
