Looking for Sunday Shadows

Now that the weather is cooler, Sputnik keeps me constant company.  Above is a scene from my typical work day:   Sputnik sleeping on my lap while I work at my desk.

Sputnik is so comfortable on that baby blanket. And he is a perfect still model, at least when he sleeps. Your being hard at work doesn' disturb any of the felines' beauty sleep...

Nice shadows in this shot, they blend in but the picture wouldn't be the same without them. Sputnik looks like a very good lap warmer!

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
