Here's another picture of Hilbert and Charlie taken in the wee hours using the Night Sight feature of my Pixel 6 Pro. This one really shows off the huge amount of image processing that the phone must be doing: the edges are so sharply defined that the cats almost look like they're floating a bit.
The hump over on the far left is Marian, curled up into a tiny ball so that the cats have plenty of room to stretch out. Or maybe she's lying diagonally. Either way, the key is that the cats always have first priority.
How sweet! And also a reminder of how weird and scary cat ears look on the inside.
Still sharing Marian's beautiful quilt- with each other, anyway. Wonder if Hilbert ever used Hopper as a pillow.
When I see edges like that I always assume the whole image is photoshopped.
At least the bed finally appears to be made…
Of course cats have the first priority. They also seem to have an amazing ability to expand, filling all available space on a bed.
Science!
Cats allow us to have a little bed space only because we provide some body heat.
How true...
I am so impressed how these two cats enjoy each other's company, up close and personal. Beautiful as is the photo.
I'm enjoying my P6 Pro, too. Using it for photography after 40+ years with a "real" camera to my eye is a challenge. Thanks for sharing this.
I applaud Marian’s approach to sharing space with the cats. It’s the only way for humans to coexist happily with such a superior species.
It was necessary for cats to allow us to live in their civilization. That and our can-opening skills.
I’m grateful when my 50 pound dog leaves me a sliver of space on my queen-size bed.
Krugman's newsletter today had a chart showing housing "starts" collapsing in 2009 which I'm trying to reconcile with your many recent posts saying housing construction has continued without change in recent years. Would love to read a post explaining how these stats make sense.

Dreams of the hunt!
