After a wee disagreement last night between our Scottish fold straight, Bardie, and his new baby brother, Scottie, Bill took the kitten into the bedroom with him while I stayed in the cabin’s main room with Bardie just hanging out together. I want him to understand that the kitten is not replacing him. If cats even think in such human terms . . .
Anyway, I sketched a bit of a grapevine as we quietly sat together, using a Duke 209 fude nib fountain pen. Then I decided to play with some gouache for color. The idea came from the Bible verses I had jotted down earlier in the day while at church.
This morning things are relatively peaceful between the cats as they continue to check each other out and explore boundaries. They are a good match in energy level, but Scottie obviously needs to learn when to stop pushing Bardie’s buttons. Kitty detente continues . . .
I like the photo of Bardie waiting for Scottie to come around the corner! Was he waiting to pounce? Also, love your illustration of this verse.
ReplyDeleteMore like keeping an eye on Scottie to see what he’ll do next. Scottie is more likely to pounce on Bardie who will then try to pin Scottie to the ground. Reminds me of their father, Einstein, who watches over his kittens very protectively.
