Who is this handsome boy, with a big bite out of his left ear? (Thanks to a very zealous neutering program.) He is Peanut, of course. In South Africa, Black Cat Peanut Butter is a national icon, in terms of name recognition and inclusion in many pantries, be they vast or bare.
He is my aunt's cat, and when I went to look for him in her large, rambling garden, he came when I called, mewing as he moved invisibly through a thicket of nasturtiums.
A stocky, strong boy. I wonder what Pirelli would make of him? They have a lot in common, except that Peanut is allowed to roam. Both street cats, both boys, both fierce and tender.
What a lovely boy. Looks like he is living his best life.
ReplyDeleteCompletely off topic but, do you have any tips for bringing in plants, hopefully bug free, that have spent the summer outdoors?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, quite a broad topic. It depends on what sort of plant it is. Tender trees? Re. bugs, the best you can do is check the plant as carefully as possible before you bring it. My citrus develop scale no matter what, especially towards the end of their indoor stay. And I bring them before it is is truly cold, to minimize the transition shock.
