Jeoffry on the windowsill as twilight falls.
There is that line from "Pippin".. "Cats fit on the windowsill." We sang that song way back at Christ the King and I never forgot it.
Cats fit on the windowsill.
They do!
Haha, that picture looks so, ahem, urban. The curtain is like that because I bunch it up so it clears the part of the window that is open.
I was not aware when Jeoffry slipped into the room and I did not hear him jump up onto the windowsill. I looked over and there he was and it was so cute I took the picture.
What do cats look at when they are on the windowsill? What do they see?
Here he is in the kitchen, looking out into the night.
That is explained in the poem "My Cat Jeoffry":
For he keeps the Lord's watch in the night against the adversary.
For he counteracts the powers of darkness by his electrical skin and glaring eyes.
For he counteracts the Devil, who is death, by brisking about the life.
The picture shows Jeoffry counteracting the powers of darkness.
And there is also this line:
For every house is incomplete without him and a blessing is lacking in the spirit.
True!!
