Meet
the young gentleman of my home and heart, Dorian Gray Esq. I adopted
him from a wonderful local shelter,
Cause4Paws,
just a week after my
beloved Nicky,
crossed over the Rainbow Bridge at age thirteen. As I was unable to attend
an adoption day, after a detailed interview, the shelter ladies graciously
brought several kittens whom we agreed might be right for me, to my house.
While the other kitties roamed about, a sleek self-assured silvery tabby
curled up on my gray sofa and snuggled in for a nap. We both knew that he
had chosen his furever home. He is named after the main character in Oscar
Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray." But he has not as yet grown into his
full name, so I call him Dorry. Like the fictional character, my kitty is
at times "wicked," or shall I say cat-like. This becomes obvious when he
wants something, such as my total attention. Also like the fictional
character, who remained young as his picture aged, my boy still seems
kittenish, so maybe there is something in a name.
In the flesh I'm told that he looks like the kitty in the Friskies ads or
the one where the guy is snuggling with his kitty and doesn't realize his
conference call is still on. I'm coming to think that TV kitties are
either doped, or maybe that's why ad agency photographers earn the big bucks!
These photos are taken on a high cabinet that poor Dorry got up on, but is
a bit nervous jumping off of (the only way to keep my "poetry in motion"
kitty still.) I gently lifted him down after the session, as a reward for
holding still-ish for once!
