an artifact and a cat tryst
- May. 1st, 2007 at 1:14 AM
So... someone was very tense while praying and gnawed off their fingernail, I guess...
I wished I hadn't noticed, but I did notice. And now you probably feel as odd as I did, because I went and shared.
So here's something nicer, to take the weird taste out of your mouth: an assignation among cats. They had a tryst at the compost bin this morning. Forgive the blurriness; no zoom, and if I tried to get close, they'd have run away.

Hello Francesca, miss you! So busy now, can't take time for LJ ... See you soon, hopefully! :)
See you tomorrow!
Once I saw what looked like a cat holding court (but now I think it must simply have been her "time of year")--she was sitting on something, a stump or something, and there were many, many, many admirers around her. It was nighttime, so the scene was a bit spooky...
actually, i too have spotted clipped or torn fingernails on the floor or ground and it is a strangeness.
so....curious minds want to know.....did the cats actually "do it"? hee hee
:-) cats
I didn't know cats shed their claws!
