Bert in the pink

Bert in the pink

I return to one of my favorite subjects here—our very black cat on our very rose-colored blanket. I know it’s a bad photograph but it amuses me the way Bert just sort of becomes a light-absorbing black hole, a silhouette of a cat.

And to celebrate the Friday, another of my Wilde cats:

It is believed also that if a black cat is killed and a bean placed in the heart, and the animal afterwards buried, the beans that grow from that seed will confer extraordinary power; for if a man places one in his mouth, he will become invisible, and can go anywhere he likes without being seen.

No fear. Bertie’s safe. I see no advantage in being invisible. In fact, I work hard to raise my visibility.
