She would like to go to sleep(she does a lot of that) but it's twilight time and that might be dinner time so best stay awake, even if just one and a half eyes are open.


The tortoiseshell Cat

"The tortoiseshell cat,
She sits on the mat,
As gay as a sunflower she;
In orange and black you see her wink,
And her waistcoat's white and her nose is pink,
And her eyes are as green as the sea.
But all is vanity, all the way;
Twilight's coming and close of day,
And every cat in the twilight's gray,
Every possible cat."
~Patrick R Chalmers

The saying goes so but a brown cat or a black cat will not look grey in any light. Nice shot Lyn.

First of all, smiles at your title (Hey, that would make a good book series!). And chuckles at your one and a half eyes ... lol

Splendid photograph! Soft, glowing focus on the face.

Just a suggestion - I think that it might be interesting to see the image in b&w, but leave the nose in color.

I bow, and taking off my hat,
Ad-dress him in this form: O Cat!
But if he is the Cat next door,
Whom I have often met before
(He comes to see me in my flat)
I greet him with an oopsa Cat!
I think I've heard them call him James
But we've not got so far as names.
~ T.S. Eliot

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Perfect B&W portrait accompanied by two appropriate poems provided by Lisa and you, Lyn.
Excellent entry for the Wednesday B&W challenge (BWC).
