Figure 1 is another sight and happy memory of Labor Day Weekend. It is the simple and wonderful combination of cat and sunbeam. My friend Mr. Pili was so content that I could not bring myself to rouse him into a sleepy glare at the camera. Besides this is what cats do best. Despite the color in the photograph, the appeal to me here is the geometric tabby coat – wonderful swirls and the characteristic mark of the M on the forehead – and the melange of geometric fabrics on the couch.
Pili stood for the picture, perhaps because it was complemented with an ear rub both before and after. Cats enhance us by sharing their world with us!
