Full Moon – Two Black Cats
November 12, 2008
For the Full Moon we welcomed two new family members, both adopted from the Hermitage Cat Shelter. I took the photos at the shelter last winter under low indoor light, but I’ll get better ones as soon as the boys have settled in. MIDNIGHT LOUIE is ten years old, huge and timid, a gentle soul with perpetually worried expression and a big purr. REGINALD is about six, lean and graceful, with silky fur and enormous heartbreaking blue-green eyes. He is extremely sensitive and easily frightened, and it will probably be awhile before he is able to overcome his shyness and be comfortable with us. But he was friends with Beluga at the shelter, and we are hoping the two will rediscover each other’s companionship here.
MIDNIGHT LOUIE
REGINALD
They are beautiful, Lorena. Hoping they settle in quickly.
Beautiful friends. I’m glad they’re in a home where they’ll be Loved and appreciated.
Oooh, more Ebonaires. What will the poor Orange Tones do? They’re roundly outnumbered now. Reginald and Midnight Louie are just beautiful.
I love black cats, I had one when young named Napoleon and a great cat named Arthur when I was first married. These two look lovely and it’s neat that Beluga already knows Reginald. Reg, or the Regster or perhaps Regilot (word play on Camelot ) You can be like Mad Magazine and paraphrase the lyrics to the song “Camelot”.
In Regilot.
Regilot! Regilot!
I know it sounds a bit bizarre,
But in Regilot, Regilot
That’s how conditions are
The cats are black till after sundown
By eight, their liquid shadows must disappear
In short, they slink off for a nap
A more congenial spot cannot be found
For shedding soft black hair than someone’s lap
In Regilot.
I am pleased to see your playing card deck with the black cats. I have about 50 playing cards in my collection and like to read with them and do daily draws. I will look forward to this further paw print of imagination from you.
Regilot, la la la la la la la la
Seven Ebonaires – a rhyme of sorts…
Excellent content and style…keep up the good work!
