Sora the Cat easing into her afternoon nap.
She loves “holding hands” and needs some cuddle time before she’ll fall asleep and I can gently transfer her into my recliner and get back to work.

Loving Sora the Cat
Friday Nite Foto.
Moi with Sora the Cat, back in Nov. 2020.
It took months to earn her trust after we “rescued” her from the BCSPCA in 2019.
Here you can see her well down the road to blossoming into the cuddle bug she is today.
Murko the Cat, My BFF
Murko, my BFF. . .
Got a Throwback Thursday tonight.
My beloved Murko the Cat, circa early 1970s.
Recently found a few home-developed and enlarged-in-a-bathroom darkroom black & whites in a trunk in the garage. (Most of my early photos were destroyed in a basement flood in the early 1980s . . . .)
Murko and I were bonded.
When I went into hospital for scoliosis surgery in my early teens and was away from home for over a month, my parents said he lost half his body weight in depression.
When I got home, he sat on my body cast 23/24 hours a day.
Never tell me cats show no love, eh?
BTW, “Murko” means “he who purrs” in Ukrainian.
Chilling Out Over Xmas Like Sora the Cat
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. . .
We intend to emulate Sora the Cat for the next few lazy days 
Decorations Trigger Sora the Cat
Yumi suspended a few of her crafty decorations from the living room fixture, causing Sora the Cat to stare in amazement, and even yowl.
You never know what will trigger the kitty .
A few of these hung over the dining room table for months without any such response. . .
Sniffing the Night Air With Sora the Cat
Oh my, that was fun!
Holding Sora the Cat at the front door for about 10 minutes as the rain began to lightly fall not long before we go to bed in south Burnaby, BC.
Sniff the air, sweetie. Enjoy the smells, the sounds of the pattering droplets.
Sharing the fresh air with an animal with senses seeking is such a joy. Her body tense in anticipation, eyes panning the darkness. . .
She’s happy being a totally indoor cat — better for her and for the wee beasties out there. . .
But that takes a lot of play and interaction.
Sora and Midori Wish all Pets a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Midori the Turtle and Sora the Cat.
They wish all pets out there a wonderful holiday, and hope that all animals in foster care or up for adoption find loving forever homes!
Cuddling Cat Turning the Solstice Corner
I think one of the most wonderful sounds is when Sora the Cat comes to bed and cuddles after her 5:00 am breakfast. She waits for me to lift a corner of the comforter, and then she slides in and curls up in the crook of my arm.
After she fidgets for a minute I feel her relax, and she gives a wee, whistling sigh of contentment that melts my heart every time.
Â
We snooze together for about another hour, and then she grumbles when the alarm goes off :-).
Â
Wishing everyone a lovely sleep as we turn the solstice corner. . .
Sora the Cat Appropriates the Sun Lamp from Dori the Turtle
A bit of sibling rivalry going on this evening. I was looking for Sora the Cat and found her under Midori the Turtle’s UV/heat lamp.
Our late Choco the Cat was also known to indulge in Dori’s lamp when the days got short and cold.
Sora the Cat Being Too Cute
Earlier today I came across Sora the Cat occupying my office chair.
You want to work, Daddy? You’ll have to deal with my super-cuteness first. . . : – )
