Feline Friday: Cat taijitu

3961-yinyang

Since they were kittens, Sasha and Sergei have slept entwined head to tail, paws in the middle. I had hoped to catch them both asleep, but Sergei awakened at the sound of my camera, and looked up.

(In Taoist philosophy, the taijitu symbolizes the opposing, but complementary, forces of yin and yang.)

The Friday Ark finds a balance between cats and the other animals. On opposite sides of the world, Weekend Cat Blogging is in France at Lali et Cie, and Carnival of the Cats goes on an Australian walkabout to Crazy Meezer.

I wish my cats would do the same. The closest I’ve come is Tess sleeping on me and Boots beside me!

Our old ladies sleep entwined but usually stomach to back with heads all one direction… or else facing each other, and that sometimes looks heart-shaped.

Alas, because each of ours spent the first five years as only children before we met and married, although they like each other very much, sleeping spots are the last bastions of territory- the best they’ll do is share opposite sides of bed or sofa. I love Sasha and Serg together but this Yin and Yang pose tops all- thanks!

What good kitties! It’s so great when they get along like that! Sasha looks like a good fluffy pillow. ;-)
