The opportunism of cats. The sheepishness of sheep.

Ezra Pound, the brilliant and controversial American “Imagist” poet, is said to have been quite a cat fancier. Here we see him with three of his friends in the lounge of his house in Venice. I suspect the photo is by Walter Mori and was taken around 1963.

Paolo Medica captures perfectly the profound relaxation of a rainy night. Even crepuscular cats are captured by its soothing sounds and smells.

DEPARTMENT OF INDIFFERENCE

Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen encountered this composed cat paying no heed at all to the brouhaha surrounding the launch of the newly built World Unicorn at Wallsend in North Tyneside (1973).

Macavity’s a Mystery Cat: he’s called the Hidden Paw—
For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime—Macavity’s not there!

Such elegance, such hauteur, such a fine sweeping tail—such a cat!

@terrygrundy Where in Brittany is this? In the north?

Bodhipaksa

@terrygrundy I just took a dive into a paper about coastal erosion in that area, and discovered that on average the cliffs retreat by 0.2 m to 0.3 m (one foot) per year. But some places remain relatively stable for years, while there are sudden collapses that measure one to tens of meters/yards. A house like this could disappear in one fell swoop, without warning. I'm not surprised it's been abandoned!

Oh, and great photo, by the way!
