The Well Read Cat

Uploaded: September 26, 2009

Description


This is our Matriarch, Sweetpea (aka Queen Bee) the oldest and most spoiled feline in the house! As you can see here, she is also quite the intellectual... or at least loves to snooze in the book case now and then.

Her favorite spot to sleep is actually the bed, where she is one of only two allowed; her favorite food is lasagna (!) but she'll settle for enchiladas if they're not too spicy. She also eats veggies, which is how she got her name.

I can't vouch for her taste in literature here, but if a book is in her way she's more than happy to propel it to the floor!

I'll be back to comment later. Have a great weekend, in the meantime!

Nadya- The story about Sweetpea was as fun to read as the picture of her is beautiful. This is such a delightful capture of this well read kitty. A unique resting place for sure. Beautiful colors and features brought out. Love the artful look of the picture.
Adorable work my friend.

Cute capture, Nadya. One of my cats, Evie, likes to sleep among the books in my bookcase, too! #7986813

Cats sure find the weirdest places to take a nap :-) It doesn't look very comfortable, but then I am not a cat :-) #7990748

Laura E. Swan level-classic September 28, 2009

Ahhh!! Sleeping all over the bedtime stories! That's very sweet!!!

Do I see the book "A TAIL of TWO KITTIES"? Oh no...That's "A Tale of Two CITIES!" HA!

Oh but wait! There is a (Jack) Russel story book there and also The Secret Supper"...We KNOW cats LOVE to drag things off and eat hem privately. She'd love that good read! HA!

Great capture Nadya and fun to comment on!
