Life Imitating Art

     Dad found it amusing that I chose this spot and this position one day recently for a respite from my hectic daily schedule (really, Cleo?)
     Some of you may remember this cat sarcophagus from Orbit posts from oh so long ago.  It's one of a few pieces from dad's eclectic collection of oddities (translated: a bunch of shit for which he had multiple excuses not to get rid of) that he would not part with way back when mom helped liberate dad from his inherited hording tendencies (so I liked to collect stuff).
      Maybe I was just tired.  Maybe I was silently communing with Orbit and dear little Grayson, whose ashes rest within this hand-carved ten ton feline showpiece.

That's a fine pose in a magnificent location- we did not know about that fantastic monument. Much respect for a sacred place.

Nice to see you Cleo and I am certain you and Orbit were chatting!

I'm so glad your human managed to hang onto this sarcophagus - it really is magnificent! Not to mention, and awesome place to pose next to.

Wow, it looks like a very fine piece of art! Lovely place for ashes of Orbit and Grayson to rest. I think you were talking to them, Cleo. And I love your synchronized position :-)

Cleo, you are beautiful and you know it! You posed there purposefully, because of the licale AND that it makes you look good!

I bet you were paying your respects to them. My cats like to go in the closet to pay respects to our angels (that is where there boxes of ashes are. )

Well, whatever the reason, you look good sitting there.

Humans never get what we're doing, Cleo. *We* know why you chose that spot.
