No turkey in this house..

Since there is little to prepare for Thanksgiving Dinner...no family arriving hungry. And the preferred food by Better Half is Salmon and Asparagus, albeit with a BIG baked potato, salad and Ice cream.

Leaving more turkeys in the wild.


Finally, met Le Roi D'Ys or Lalo (much abbreviated from Lalloo!) and no, he did not remind me of Jericho, my all time favorite 'butterball'.
He's a big cat, slightly longer body, but has a nice roundish head, no pointy snout here, and he's solid gray and solid white, with (to me) bright blue eyes.
A quiet cat, did not hear him purr. When squeezed by his 'adoptive Mom'', he meowed daintily on a high note - a 'cattish countertenor' :-)!

Thus we were trying to re-baptizing him with an opera related name...and yet, Le roi D'Ys , IMO, still does not quite fit.

On the other hand, her Majesty, SHADOW (this photo looks almost like her)
has added some weight which was needed, IMO, and is a bit less shadowy and shy. She actually advanced to a few feet of me and stopped for a while before streaking back to her lair...big improvement over the previous visit. Both cats seem very happy and contend, as they should be, friend M. certainly treats them royally.

And much time to read. Better Half really is into Elmer Kelton's oeuvre, while I skip around among authors. We both like to have classical music in the background.

Later I'll play a DVD of 'Im Weissen Roessl am Wolfgangsee'...
