The following contains gratuitous cat pictures. I've mentioned my friends Peter and Adele before. Peter will be 88 this year. He spent decades shooting 4x5 and doing some clever double exposures. Peter doesn't use computers, so all of his work in is completely analogue and mostly not on the internet. I'd like to help him scan some of his works, but that's a huge job. Adele (at the tender age of 84) is very much online, and even knows how to use her SMRT TV as a bluetooth device with her iPhone to stream video and photos. Even I don't know how to do that, but in my defense, I hate fucking hate smartphones. Peter and Adele's daughter, who's around my age, is as computer literate as any Gen Xer. (She actually a VP of something-or-other in a cybersecurity company.) All this is relevant because she recently moved to MV and brought her two cats.
This is Gertie, the more good natured of the two. The only problem with her is that she's so friendly she tends to run toward me, making her a difficult subject to capture at times.
This is Gidget. She's much more mercurial, but quite friendly when she decides to be.
...and not when she doesn't!
Yesterday I caught Gertie sitting in a box.
Of course I didn't manage to catch her with her eyes open and looking at me. Solid Cat/10 interaction.
Meanwhile Gidget checked the Golf's tire pressure.
Then she sauntered back to see why Gertie was getting all the attention.
