Cat fight on the bedroom floor, March 2021

George and Gilbert facing off on the bedroom floor: ginger crouched low, tabby standing ready. Six photographs. No injuries reported.

George on a curved cat bed in the garden, the potted succulents around him. The throne is plastic. The moggy is regal.

George on a cushion beside the lit fire bowl on the deck, ginger and content. Decking, firelight, moggy: the weekend, finished.

George nestled into cream bedding, ginger fur, looking down with a calm appraisal of the room. The afternoon is his, for now.

George The Moggie

Three photographs of Gilbert holding the line through February. The tabby continues, in his way, to be the tabby.

George curled on a red surface: ginger and white into red, eyes shut. Three photographs. The position is, by him, decided.

Third photograph, same basket, same George. The afternoon held nothing further to report.

George reinstalled in the basket: ginger, snoring. The pose admits variation. The snoring does not.

George curled and asleep on the cream blanket, viewed from directly above. The basket is small. The cat is committed. The snoring follows.
