*sigh* Trying very hard to get back into the swing of things. Busy summer, and I need to pay more attention to my blog and website. ‘Christmas in July New Year’s Resolution’ here – I will post regularly even if it isn’t every day. Promise. Cross my heart.
- Cats, from _Quadrupeds_ by Mayne Reid (1818-1883), published before 1883. Illustrated by William Harvey. From Project Gutenberg e-books #23576.
This is an illustration from a fun book I found at Project Gutenberg, full of lovely illustrations of animals. The full title is Quadrupeds, What They Are and Where They Are Found: A Book of Zoology for Boys, by Mayne Reid (1818-1883). No date of publication is given, but since Reid died in 1883 I am assuming that the book was published before then. The illustrator was William Harvey.
I decided on cats because after I cleaned my sons’ room to the walls so we could put in bunk beds (I found 2 shoe boxes full of legos under their beds!); our cats have been playing crazily in the cleaned room and climbing all over the bunk beds. So cats were on my mind.
I know it’s silly, but well, I’m sometimes a very silly person. Be sure to click on the image to see it / download it full-sized.
Peace,
Bekka

Maybe it’s because they want attention. I personally don’t understand them sometimes. Kuro-chan, our younger cat (only by a couple of months compared to her ‘sister’ Jasmine) keeps jumping up on my keyboard and purring. Of course, when I go and sit down in the recliner in the living room, she ignores me completely. Only when I’m busy with something on the computer is it time to pet her, I guess.
So, to help satisfy this sudden need for extra attention, I give you my cats:
Kuro-chan (L) and Jasmine (R) taking a rest on the back of our couch.
Peace,
Bekka
