After Kevin Drum, who started it but doesn’t do it any more (and whose cats have made the NYTimes - eat your heart out, Baxter Black), Atrios, who continues the tradition (scroll down the page), and Bob Harris , who does pudu blogging because he can, I give you what may well be my sole instance of Friday cat blogging (with bowl and poem).

Baxter in the pearwood bowl

Rabbit’s Nest

In sun dappled morning,
cats leave only bits of fur,
a hind foot no longer
than my little finger
and a stain on the driveway.

Satisfied, innocent, they sprawl
in the grass or cuddle, curled
and purring in my lap.

The cat is Baxter Black (don’t ask). The bowl was crafted by my husband, TR Williams. His work is available at the Kentucky Artisan Center, and he often frequents KGAC fairs in Berea. The candlesticks were made by Jason Bowman, also to be found at KGAC. We don’t know who the grandmother is. We rescued her stern and anonymous from the attic.
