William
Wallace, our Norwegian Forest Cat, is the elder statesman here on the beach, and beloved Uncle to the other
pets.
William Wallace and Thomas on the Couch of Comfort |
Although devoted to our family, he does take a vacation from
time to time. No matter how many times
he has taken these leaves of absence, I end up worried sick about the old
duffer.
I woke to the squeal of eagles in the trees outside my
bedroom window this morning – like a welcome home chorus for Uncle William who
was peering through the French door when I came downstairs. His disappearance lasted two weeks and a day
this time, and I was thinking maybe he was gone for good. He is 17, after all.
Also reappearing in the woods this weekend, the noble blueberry - ripe enough to start picking! |
aww those two cats curled up together is such a touching image
ReplyDeleteglad William Wallace came home
What a sweet welcoming home William had from the other kitty! Pasha is somewhere thereabouts in age, since he was adopted from the pound, I don't know for sure. They age well, those wild Maine Coons and Forest cats... I've actually begun to wonder if Pasha is a N. Forest cat as folks don't seem to be allergic to him and I've read that is one of their traits? Or is that the Siberians, maybe its the Siberians that folks aren't allergic to. Oh well, whatever. Glad he's HOME!
ReplyDeleteSo glad W.W. came home again. I can totally relate to the devastation one feels when a beloved cat goes solo for a while.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely week. xo
Do you know the song "the Cat Came Back"? Obviously William Wallace has heard it! :) I understand your concern when he's missing. Our Isabelle is now 15 yrs old and I get panicky when she's gone for more than a day!
