Feline Not-quite-Friday: Always watching

September 8th, 2007 by Kimberly

watching something out there

Sergei is always watching, whether it be Miss Lyra (whom he adores in the clumsy way of a teenage boy), a bug on the wall (which he will likely catch and eat), or something out the window (about which he may comment… or perhaps not). When I have my camera pointed at him, Sergei will often choose not to watch me, unless I talk to him. When I tell him what a handsome boy he is, he mews and struts and preens, he reaches a paw out to me, he does anything but sit still for me to take a picture of his beautiful face.

When I’m talking to Sergei, this is the sort of photo I get of him:

Keep an eye out for all the animals boarding the Friday Ark. And visit Weekend Cat Blogging at What Did You Eat?, where you can watch not only cats, but the cutest baby squirrels.

We had friends in from Ann Arbor and he is the UM head architect. He’s good friends with the head of Streeter??? I don’t know that firm but I said (smugly), “I have a friend who is an architect in Seattle. And then there was the Lyric Opera at Pritzger and I thought of you. And now we have a new “member of the family” and I thought of you…
