Friday Cat Blogging – 5 February 2021

For some reason Hopper has been hogging up my camera time lately. Sometimes Hilbert hasn't been around when I have my camera out, other times my pictures of him are blurred or out of focus. But obviously he deserves his moment in the sun, so I made sure to grab a quick pic of him this week. In this one he's lounging in a patch of sunshine and keeping a close eye on his sister.

Hey, guess who's back?

Now that Kevin has been freed from the Coral Reef I can share my pearls of wisdom again.

Any old-timers still here?

  Nope, most of us left already, and now that you’re back, the rest of us will be leaving forthwith.

  If you slept through January, you haven't missed a thing.

  It took a bit of doing, but I’m back. And happy to be liberated from the Coral reef.

  There's nice simplicity to this site. Very 1990s almost.

CATS RULE!!!
That said, a common headline for an article asks a question. F'K that!!! I just scroll on by. Why the hell do they signify that: "here comes another of my patented "thumb suckers"."

The potoo, unusual hybrid of bird and moray eel,

  I've seen potoos perching on fence posts like that at night, but never during the day. During the day, they usually roost out of reach in trees.
  
  The way the fence posts are painted/stained black on the sides and red on the ends is something that I've seen in Ecuador, but I don't think anywhere else, so my guess is that this is a Common Potoo in Ecuador.

    If that's the common one what does the uncommon one look like?

      The Great Potoo makes the Common Potoo look cuddly by comparison.
      
      If you were walking alone at night, would you rather hear this:

Handsome black cats need those patches of sunshine to show their fur to good effect.
