Aaaaah Lady Celestine of Shedley.
You just suddenly appear without warning. One moment you’re not there and the next we see you streaking across the tops of the sheds like a black whirlwind, not allowing us to ever get a decent photograph of you.
Why don’t you ever stop and stay awhile? We are lovely you know, Eddie and Professor McTufty are great friends of ours.
We want to ask you so many questions – like, “Why on earth are your ears so big, woman?!”
Do you just need more time Lady Celestine?
Some would say it is quite rude to ignore offers of strokes and love and then come into the garden to vomit on the path.
But we would never say that.
Hi. Great photos of Lady Celestine, glad she stays long enough for you to take these!

She looks pretty :0)
ReplyDeleteLove it! Love her name too! Very TS Eliot this entry! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteI reckon she's still sussing you out and will come closer soon.
ReplyDeleteLadies like Celestine love being mysterious. It always keeps one guessing...
ReplyDeleteOf course she has to stay mysterious, she's a witch's cat.
ReplyDeleteWow - I bet she can pick up freeview with those ears. Is she part-cat, part-bat perhaps??
ReplyDeleteTS Eliot wrote the poems that form the basis of Cats The Musical. The way you describe and name the cats - it is like his book, see here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Possums-Book-Practical-Cats/dp/0571240615/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281522206&sr=8-1
ReplyDeleteWell she at least looks quite fascinated with you. Which is a start. Perhaps in cats language, vomiting on your path is high praise and a sign of great respect! Ha ha Susie xxx
ReplyDeletePerhaps she sees it as a gift (the vomiting I mean). Our cat goes next door for a Number Two and we like to think of it as a friendly gesture ;¬)
ReplyDeleteShe does, indeed, sound like a mysterious creature...those ears give her a Yoda-type look of a wise soul, don't they?
ReplyDeleteIt is Old Possum's Book that inspires the naming of all these cats. I provide the names and The Girl provides the blinkin' brilliant posts about the kittehs!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry she will get steadily closer as time goes on, I bet ya! I love cats, have 3 of them - plus an evil puppy (but shush we don't mention him in front of the cats lol!) Found your blog via Under The Paw - looks like I'll be a regular visior, if that's OK?! lol...
ReplyDeleteHello, I've just discovered your blog and you've made me laugh so much! I'll be following avidly from now on - ats and crochet, what's not to like?! :) x
ReplyDelete*cats!!
