Sunday

I live on a busy city street. There is always an old building being demolished or a new building being built. Caddy-corner to my apartment, there is a gas station . All day I hear the gas station clerks yelling "Orai, orai!" In addition, the city is constructing the new subway just outside my Apartment building. Even with the windows closed, I hear all this noise pollution. But on Sundays, it is quiet. I usually work on Sundays, so I never get to enjoy the lazy, quiet Sunday feeling. Today, I woke up late and enjoyed the quietness of the day.

I spent the morning looking at sleeping cat photos on flickr. I love cats and my cat, Sputnik, is my constant companion. She sleeps on my lap when I am at the computer. Someday I will get that perfect photo of her. In the meantime, here are a couple of my favorites from aswiebe and sara.

What great pics..I can't quite get "that shot" with my kitties either, sometimes I think I'll never fully capture the depth of their beauty. Glad you had a quiet Sunday, have an awesome week.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
