COOL FOR CATS - ABC

Seeing Double


ABC this week is brought to you by the letter C


Romeo and Juliet as this couple will be known as were so very obliging. Normally there is only one black cat in this drive near the harbour docks but today we have two. Romeo it seems has found a lady friend in the fair Juliet.  

cool
cute
cats
coyly
conversing


Of course chatting and concrete are other c words, but how many more do you see. Actually several more, not so obvious and of course many creative subjective ones. Let you ponder that conundrum

The Ramsey Romance of Romeo and Juliet will continue I'm sure while the camera is elsewhere. Wonder if his kittenish charms will works on the fickle female. Who knows. What would you name them? No you can't have Cleocatra!

Remember  or have you heard of these saying?
A cat may look at a king.
Curiosity killed the cat.

    Your photo reminds me of a Norwegian childrensong - about two cats who are climbing up and down from a table ;)

    Seeing double - yes. When we are angry, we are talking about seeing red - like the bull ;)

    Another great picture! Really interesting. Love the red gate too. Can't think of any other C's, I've been partying all night because of 'follower' no. 20, so the mind isn't working anymore (not that it ever did).
    Thanks for commenting on the 4 old ladies in an Impala, LOL

    Amazing! What are the chances of seeing two black cats (one up, one down), a red gate to climb on and tall cement walls. It HAS to be Romeo and Juliet! ;-)

    Babooshka, Thank you so much for kind comment before we head to Japan. We have been back safely and we will slowly wake up to the daily photo business. I have managed few day off to wondering where I spend lots of time in my childhood so It was some positive side in the trip. I managed few photo's to show off that will be running in my other blog. Thanks again for your word. It gave a strength to deal with a difficult time.

    I've been trying to think of a pun that hasn't already been done but, you know, Romeo and Juliet has stuck in my head so that's what they'll have to be.

    Mannanan- It's just off the docks near the Harbour Bistro. In fact it's near the Boathouse for the lifeboats. Always one black cat lurking there.

    V- Knew you'd note the red gate. Eerie likeness isn't it.

    I love that gate Babooshka - you can't show it too often for me! And of course there are two black cats. White would be no good, and one isn't quite enough for proper posing. 2 black cats + 1 red gate = perfection!

    Touch not the cat (when it is) without a glove.

    The glove of the wildcat is the soft, under part of his paw, and when assuming a war-like attitude, the paw is spread or ungloved revealing very dangerous claws. The motto is a warning to those who would be so imprudent as to engage in battle when the claw of the wildcat is ungloved.

    Incidentally, a current art exhibit in Stockholm includes a fifteen minute video where a bunch of rats are playing Hamlet. So if these are Romeo and his gal I'm sure they wouldn't mind becoming actively involved in the castle at Elsinore. The rats might feel differently.

    This is a lovely photo!! At first, I thought you had done something to it, to have most of the photo in black and white, and then the startling red gate, but then I saw the plants in the corner, and realized it was simply a subdued colouration. I really do like the way the two cats are looking at each other.
