Cat Views

Smokey is a short-haired charcoal gray male cat. He is a very loving cat but looks like the neighborhood “tough tom”. His stocky build and almost no neck gives him a tough appearance. This “tough tomcat” loves to curl up in the comfy cat bed for his afternoon nap. However, Smokey’s favorite thing to do is watch the scroll going across the bottom of the TV screen. He will sit fascinated for long periods of time just watching the words go across. Every so often he will get up and walk around behind the TV as if to see where it goes, then come back and resume his watch. When the TV set is off, he will attract someone’s attention by pawing at the TV to have them turn it on. Once it is on, he is a happy cat settling down to watch it as if he was really reading the scrolling commentary.

Hanging precariously from the top of the chair, is a new member of our extended family, little Smokey. Smokey is my grandson’s new kitty. He came into the family to replace the sad void of Mr. B who by age was developing some significant health problems. I was concerned that Gunner would be too rough with Smokey but it looks like they have bonded nicely. If you can read it, there is an embroidered banner with Gunner’s name on the back of the chair labeling it as his own official dog bed, a designated hangout in their home-office space. It appears Gunner is willing to share… how nice. Now, the question is; what happened right after this photo?
