Meet Night the wonder-cat

She's feral altho she has lived indoors with us since she was around 12 weeks old. She came with a sister Day (they were different as which explains the names.) Day had to go to the shelter after she decided (at maturity) no only to start peeing on the favorite sleeping spots of all our other cats but escalated quickly to peeing on the cats when they were sleeping. She was sweet but being a sweet-pee was too much. But I digress.

Night has never liked people. She has never been quite right in the head and in fact the vet agrees that her head is small for her body. She is an odd shaped cat. She is built like a drag-racer, tiny head in the front and HUGE back legs. The similarity does not end with shape, she is also by far the fastest cat I have seen if 50 years of having and loving cats. Incredibly fast, astoundingly agile (just a blur threading her way thru a dozen chair legs (think flat out ground level attack helo)) and reluctant to be touched.

She is black with delightful white markings. Sometimes we think of her as 'Knight' since she has a perfect white garter (as in Knights of the Garter) around one back leg. Her imposing white whisker add to the accurate impression that she has a pin-head.

I decided to write about Night because of the pose that I photoed. Cats of course were deified in ancient Egypt and have never forgotten that fact but I have never before seen a cat that stated it so

indisputably.

Here is Night, posed like the Sphinx before the Great Pyramid at Giza.

THIS CANNOT BE ACCIDENTAL!
