the graceful one

this is a girl i've been wanting to blog about for a long time.  Lexy Hoff is a very special cat who lives in Kitchener.  She was born with double the amount of grace and sweet temperament than kittens usually are doled out.

She is lucky to have extremely devoted parents who appreciate her beauty.

 The sunlight illuminates her guard hairs - or is that her aura?

Graceful as a ballerina, but this kitten's got claws!

a true lady crosses her paws

I think cats washing their paws is one of the most lovely things to watch.  Cats!

and a perfect full tuck.  

Thank you so much to Lindz Hoff for sharing your beautiful angel with me and for your unwavering support of all animals.

you are my sister and i love you

Sonya is a Cuban baby cat-cat who deserves love.  She was named in memory of Sonja, a Hungarian farm cat who recently went to the woods to die alone - as kitties are wont to do. Sisters across the world. How they feel about each other can be best expressed by the words of Antony Hegarty's song, "You Are My Sister".

We were born so innocent - so full of need. 

At times we were friends and at times I was so cruel...

but tonight I ask for you to watch me as I sleep

I was so afraid of the night. You seemed to move through the places that I feared.

You lived inside my world so softly, protected only by the kindness of your nature.

The way we laughed, the way we experienced pain. Faces, worlds, no one else will ever know!

You are my sister, and i love you. May all of your dreams come true. I want this for you! I see them coming true.
