It’s not the best photo, but the best my little 2MP digital with no zoom could do, but it was important to capture my two most senior cats in 2005, Stanley at something like 23 or 24 and Moses at 18 or 19, still sleeping on the deck, even though

This is Moses, who you’ve heretofore seen only quietly curled on the floor, trying to take up as little space as possible and happy with what she had. At all other times in her life that was truly Moses, formerly feral, non-vocal, shy, humble, her hobbled hind legs always protectively

I posted this last autumn, and the sunlight this morning reminded me of these two, just as the green leaves are turning yellow and all the flowers are still blooming. Moses, 19, and Stanley, 23, enjoy the gentle autumn morning sun on the deck in the summer of 2006. Beautiful
