Two photographs of Gilbert under the table — the location of choice on a winter afternoon. The table provides cover. The floor provides the radiator.

Its nearly Christmas






Six December photographs. Gilbert asleep on the fluffy white blanket near the window. George holds the indoor brief. The heating season is fully in.







Six photographs. Gilbert on a lap, the woman of the house in the supporting role. George documented elsewhere. The late autumn programme.


George at full stretch on the sofa, ginger paws extended, gazing upward. The sofa is permanently his by occupation rights.


Gilbert curled on white bedding, tabby and white, looking down with mild thoughtfulness. Mid-October. The afternoons are long.


George and Gilbert curled together on the striped blanket: ginger head against tabby side. The daily ceasefire is in force.








Seven autumn photographs. George at extreme close-up, wide ginger eyes, the look that means: feed me, immediately. Autumn duly noted.







Six summer photographs. Gilbert seated on the wooden windowsill, tabby and white, composed. Outside continues without his attention.



George installed on a lap in the garden, ginger and white. The lap is the venue. The moggy is the event. Two photographs.




Three photographs of George camped beside the laptop, ginger head down. The work was less interesting than the cat. The cat won.
