Himself, content

Memory foam pillow of his very own? Spurned.

Quilted fabric? Used intermittently.

Bulky wool scarf? Went wherever it was and slept on it.

So I put it in his favorite spot, because after two surgeries in two months, 

it's good to see him really happy.

Bonus shot of little spotty paw.

Morning update: Tried to swap him for a very similar scarf that I don't like as much.
Substitute scarf was spurned.
I'll just have to make myself another one.

Passive solar.

More efficient passive solar.

Gracie

Her story will come later, but here are a couple of pictures. She's not all black--she has white toes (not feet, just toes), a few white whiskers, and a little white spot on her neck, like a clerical collar.

That thing better not make lightning at me.

You made lightning. You may go now.

Should have named her Garbo.
