The Land of Melting Shadows: Sylvester

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

Sylvester

About a month ago, we adopted another feline into our clowder of cats. Or rather he moved himself in!

He had been hanging around our place for quite some time, we would catch glimpses of him from time to time. Then one day he was living in our garage and before you know it, he had moved himself into the house.

Sylvester is a polydactyl cat. Also known as a "Hemingway Cat". He has 6 toes on each of his front feet. Makes it look like he has mittens on. And he is quite the talker. Always having something to add to a conversation......

The rest of the Gang hasn't been real thrilled about the new addition, but they will adjust. Especially after Sylvester sees the Vet at the end of the month.

magikalseasons said...: He's a beauty! :) We have an outdoor female(Gypsy) last spring she had a few of the 6 toed kittens. I noticed she's expecting again. I hope to catch her and get her fixed. I hope she has them in the garage to make it easy to get them and not in the wood pile.; June 16, 2010 at 10:31 AM

Iva Wilcox said...: What a clever kitty! He knows a good thing when he sees it. And a Hemingway cat too! We caught a glimpse of a few of them when we toured his home in Key West. So unusual! Thank you for stopping by. Happy Summer to you!
