Since it’s a holiday for most of us, we’re going to take a break for some cat pictures.
First, we have Tig on the sofa, in his standard position, with that beautiful, fluffy tail hanging down.

Next, Miss Gracie, taking a yawn and a stretch near one of her favorite places: The railing near my office. She’s taken to sleeping near me while I work.

Over to Mr. Tig, who is helping me make the bed.

He helps me do that a lot, and then I have to dig him out from under the covers.

Gracie doesn’t see what all the fuss is about. She waits until the bed is made, then luxuriates in it.

After a while, Tig gets over wanting to dig under the blankets and we get a two bedcat picture.

Last, but not least, this is a sight I see pretty much every day: Tig lying in wait for me on the steps. He wants me to throw a toy up or down, or if that doesn’t happen, he’s perfectly fine trying to grab my leg as I step over him. I think he’s looking at a twist-tie in this picture.

I see I really have been remiss in putting up cat pictures. These ought to hold even Rahel for a while.
That is, indeed, a magnificent tail. The finest tail I’ve seen since… well, never mind.
But I’m betting Tig doesn’t expect me to show up with a stack of $1 bills.

Thank you, Meryl! Kitty magnificence indeed!
Gracie and Tig shine. You don’t even need to light your menorah — just have them lie down near it and you’ll have all the glow you need!

Personally, this only whets my appetite, reminding me how much I love seeing pictures of your cats [or, for that matter, any cats]. Post more, soon, please!
Of course, I’ll enjoy anything you post — but wow, you have great cats!

Yes, I do. They’re very photogenic. Wait for the weekend: I have amazing pictures of each of them. You know how you take a hundred pictures and you get one really good one? Well, I got two out of the last few hundred I took.
They’re going up on Caturday.
It’s nap time here at the Yourish household. For them, anyway.
