Alayne noticed this unusual alignment on the cat tree in the cats’ outdoor enclosure, so I headed over with the camera. Now, typically when we have the perfect "blog moment," by the time I pick up the camera and get back to wherever the action was, the moment is over. It’s as if they know I want that photo. (In my mind I am the cursed photographer, constantly thwarted by uncooperative and ungrateful subjects. On the other hand, Alayne calls me the "tyrant photographer" because I am never quite satisfied with what I’ve got and always want yet one more shot … as in, 50 or 60 photos. This is why I am also the cursed photographer in another sense. But I digress.)
Well, for this photo I had a split second to get the shot, because I knew one of the three cats would leap off the cat tree as soon as they realized I was standing there. So I only got one photo, and the horizontal shadow you see is the flash going off against the fence wire.
That’s three-legged Honey Girl on top, blind Herbie on the next one down, and Fibby on the bottom ledge. Sure enough, as soon as Herbie heard the click of the shutter, he immediately jumped down and raced over to the fence to greet me. These subjects never cooperate!

In light of yesterday’s post about ever-napping dogs: When we got up this morning and turned on the satellite TV to watch the news at breakfast, the TV started up with National Geographic — the channel we previously had watched. The program that was running? Dogs with Jobs. I looked at Alayne and said, "See? They can have jobs."
