Swans? What Swans?

I must admit I'm not a great taker of landscape photos - the views always seem diminished somehow. But who could resist this? I don't think I have ever seen Stenness Loch looking so beautiful!
On a sad note, our old cat Jess died on Tuesday, at home, being stroked, no vet trauma thank goodness. She was very old and she had a fine life but we will miss her. Here she is with Minxy Gracie (Jess is the tortoiseshell).

Another sad story on IB, poor Jess. But she had a long and happy life, as you say SD, and that means a lot. I like your snow photo too, but I know what you mean about landscape photos. The most spectacular vista can be reduced to just a pretty photo.

Feline farwells to Jess from me and Marmers. *Ahem*...Not ALL pets on iB Carol! (You're making M'Marmalade Chum a teeny bit anxious - he thinks you might be a prophet...)

SD the mountain in the distance loks as if the antarctic had already calved its way to Orkney. I think its a grenad landscape (land and seascape). Poor old cat! Poor you. Pelle the rabbit expired in my lap a few years ago - he couldn't accept the fact that the arrival of Stumpy meant that he was no longer Master of the Sruffy Lawn. First he tried to cahllenge her - but was too small -so then he just stayed in his cage with his back to the world and sulked to death, which finally occurred as I gave him a nice morning cuddle. Just a sigh and a shudder and Pelle was gone.

Thanks folks *sniff* - Jess has a little cairn at the bottom of the garden. Glad to hear that the remaining feline terrors of IB are good and lively and striking fear into the hearts of all ailurophobes.

As my response to FC has fried the Spam Death, I will paraphrase it. The rabbit Pelle (2 Ls there, cat!), being black and white, would approach the football (black and white, softish, rather large) and attempt to reproduce himself upon it, repeatedly and urgently. Sometimes when totally frustrated he would give it a well-aimed kick but he was not thinking fitba'.
Barney from Swithiod fact is stranger than fiction
No ? barney are you sure?

What a pity Pelle the rabbit didn't succeed in reproducing the fitba'...an endless supply of free balls, on tap...
Flying Cat from Cheshire Grin
Now you mention it, Carol, he was a dab hand att dribbling the ball with his head. But it was not love of the game, t'was a courting rite. Talented but one-track was our Pelle.
Barney from Swithiod another bloggpiratical outrage
I would like a diagram, please.

Pele is a tomcat. Calling him a bunny is asking for all out war with Brazil. After Argentina, Brazil: when will you folks learn? Oh well, you'all could try coming down to New Orleans again (hey, Hyper-B.?), by George.
