Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Today’s meanderings took me to Seward Park. I’d like to say I was minding my own business while walking down the hill on S. Orca St. but that wouldn’t be true; I was peeking into the well curated, showy, Seattle-springy yards.
One yard was particularly spectacular so I lingered. Then I felt something on my leg.
Henry.
A very persistent, outgoing, blue-eyed, orange tabby tipped Feline of Persistence and Distinction. He was tapping my leg with his paws.
He also licked my legs which I’ll take as a compliment just like I do when I’m home in Chicago with my own gal (The Bean) who takes a similarly disturbing adorable approach to getting my attention as I towel off after a shower.


His owner came over and we had a lovely chat: gardening, the weather, Chicago and Illinois (her home state!), politics and, of course, cats!
Lovely experience on a lovely day.
More cats, please.
My partner and I have an Instragram for our girls, Hala and Hyacinth!

I call the white and orange lady “Flopsie” (she flops over for belly rubs) and the black lady “The Bean”! We are “failed fosters”, we were fostering these lovely ladies from Chicago PAWS, and just couldn’t part with them when the time came up!
