Cats
All of my cats have pink noses, I think of them as the Pink Nose Brigade (PNB). Archie’s nose may technically be peach, but that is close enough for what I’m trying to illustrate here. I have been a pink person all my life (when I was a little girl I would only wear pink trousers) and it has become my signature colour. I like everything in pink; I have a pink day-timer, pink calling cards, pink scarves, pink purses and shoes, a pink cell phone, I even have pink courtesy lights in my car.
It has started to dawn on me (duh) that I am unconsciously drawn to cats with pink noses. I wonder how many cat’s cages I have passed by at the shelter because something about them just didn’t feel right. Now I’m thinking perhaps it was because they had brown noses. I’m worried that I have unwittingly indulged in some kind of cat discrimination and a perfectly wonderful kitty may have been left behind because of his nose colour! As a person who has always thought that all cats are beautiful and have something wonderful to bring into our lives, I am quite distressed at the realization that I could have some kind of prejudice against cats that are non-pinks!
But then I think about Max, a very special kitten we adopted last year. He was totally gray from head to toe, complete with GRAY NOSE! He also had gray whiskers, gray pads, even gray gums and was the most amazing cat I have ever known. Within ten seconds of meeting Max I turned to Robert and said “this is the cat for us”.
I’m hoping that Max redeems me somewhat and demonstrates that the pink noses are just a coincidence….anyway Archie’s IS peach!
Final count:
Pinks = 3
Peach =1
Gray =1
- Thankful Thursday
Casper is thankful for the fleecy winter blanket that we put on our his bed :-) ZzzzzzzzAlmost invisible!!! Sometimes from a distance it's hard to tell if he is there but the pink mouth, nose and pads are a total giveaway....
- Thursday's Toe Finale
While I agree that this week's previous posts of peach and pink pads are pretty, I'd like to offer for your viewing pleasure a little silver-tipped plum perfection :-) Jimmy's juicy jelly beansand perhaps a little more... smoochable...
- Tuxie Tuesday (with Toes)
I understand there was some fuss yesterday over Archie's toe pads...pulease. Get a load of these babies!!! Ben has some precious pink padsClemmie, my toesies are just for you :-)...
- Kitty Bliss...
Sometimes the world gets a bit much for me. Sometimes I feel it is too big and too fast and too careless and I have to retreat. If I can, I like to spend an afternoon alone in our house with my cats. It is peaceful and gentle and cats with pink noses...
- A Cat Welcome
Every day when I arrive home from work, the same scenario plays out. I come in through the sunroom at the back of the house because our driveway is off a lane way at the bottom of our garden. I must be careful when unlocking the door; Ben will be waiting...
