Let Sleeping Cats Lie

I realize I'm probably too late with this to make an entry into Nicola's sleeping pets fun, but I just found this shot in one of my picture folders and thought it was still worth posting.

This is our cat Mo.  He can usually be found in some variation of this exact position.  Seeing as he's lounging out across my Christmas tree skirt, he must have either been waiting patiently for mere humans to bestowe their gifts on him, or sleeping off all the neighborhood carousing I'm sure he did on New Year's Eve.   We believe he carries a bitter grudge toward all his servants (that's us!) ever since he was deposed from his throne....by a  P U P P Y.  He spends his days lying silently, plotting his return to power......

Now, back to Jean Rattray, or she'll never be done!
