BROKIE & SAYIF (R.I.P. - 12th of June 08)

[j.U.d.E.]

Years ago, my stepfather (for some unknown reason) gave my mother a small owl made out of alabaster as a gift.  The next time gift-giving came around, he gave her an owl picture made of metal bottle caps on wood.

Well, two owls, now that's a collection.  So for several years he kept giving her owls made out of different materials.  (Unfortunately no gold or platinum.)  Finally, she told him she felt done with owls.  (She had never been into them to begin with!)

So he swiched (again, no one knows why) to eggs made out of different kinds of stones.

That's such a cute story! Or not.. ?  Someone's clueless!    Ha, and it's not me for once!

We used to think my mother had a thing for pigs so every birthday & christmas there'd be a pig-related gift for her, then a few years ago she just came out with the fact she didn't really like them & didn't know why we had that idea.  I don't either! We had to laugh at the fact she'd always been showered with gifts of pigs!

I like having cat things about the place, but am not OTT.  I like my two real kitties the best!  Glad to see your two are doing ok Jude

Thanks Nic. Nice to 'see' you again. It's funny how one can assume things about others.    I once got a mug with dolphins on it and the handle in form of a dolphin, from a person convinced I was a big lover of dolphins. Of course I like dolphins, like most people, but I wouldn't go as far as collecting them in whatever form they sell them. Funny thing is, I've known that person for about 10 years now..    I didn't shy away from telling her that I'm not that big of a dolphin fan. I think she just wanted to get rid of that mug, really.

Another picture!

Brokie wasn't particularly happy, having heavy Sayif lying on her. She tolerated it for about 10 minutes..

Swear to God, Jude, your cats - and the wonderful photos you take of them - are the most beautiful anythings on Earth.  I feel like if I was ever flat with depression, a few pics of them would set me back on my feet again.

I love that dozy, smiley look in the most recent window picture.  And the face on Brokie while Sayif is laying on her says "I'm getting annoyed" loud and clear.

Cats are so funny.

Thank you Clarissa! That's a very very sweet thing to say! 

No depression in sight, I hope, but here are a few more pictures.


A bit out of focus - Brokie stretching one paw..


Brokie searching for her luck? ..


Sayif. Not sure what he's doing, but he sure seems comfortable.. [and a bit silly, if you ask me..  ]


Brokie

They are so very very different in character! While Brokie loves it when I have visitors . She seems to enjoy hearing human voices. Whereas Sayif, who's a real little 'bugger' with me, hides the minute strangers enter the flat. But they also have things in common (they love playing with dropping water). Good thing is, they do most things (sleeping, eating, going for a stroll) together. Though Sayif is getting more and more adventurous..

By the way, I love your new avatar Clarissa!

I'm being to suspect that Brokie knows he's a celebrity!  I mean, just look at that cute face of his... 'hey Jude, it this okay? should i turn my head a little bit more? what? to the right you say? okay, i can do that!"   

adorable, as always.
