A Penny For Your Thoughts

I just spent a couple of days with friends in Brighton and now am wading through all the snapshots I took during our jaunts. I had 672 pics, plus about 60 on the cell phone, whittled that down to 222 on the camera and 50 on the phone. What can I say? I can't help myself!

I'll have lots to post for a bit, and I'll start with Penny, the store cat the antique market in Colborne.  We'd gone last fall when I was visiting, and while we didn't set out to return this time, we missed a turn off for "Little Lake" and so ended up there. That turned out to be fortuitous for Robin, who found a couple of items that "spoke to her heart", and for us both, as we got to see Penny again.

Penny is a licker, she licks anyone who starts to pet her. We both thought she was a very senior cat, perhaps because she's so petite, not much but fur, but it turns out she's only 6-ish, adopted from a humane society.

She also doesn't seem to be very active; she was curled up in her bed when we there last fall and was again this time, not inclined to get up and move. Maybe she exhausts herself during the nights, hunting all the mice that the building surely has. (It's a vast space, filled with various vendors' antiques and plenty to keep a kitty occupied.)

We chatted with Penny's human for a while, and she's very passionate about issues and policies at a local humane society, about the cost of vet care, etc. She has a sensitive and caring heart and I'm sure Penny has a good home there.

I'll have other kitty pics to post, of the stray and semi-feral Robin feeds, and one of the neighbourhood kitty mooches who knows a sucker when he sees one.  :-P

But for now it's back to editing pics!

Peace.
