mighty lion

Every day and sometimes several times a day, when I come home Oliver and I go through our little greeting ritual. I've already told you about how he ambushes me at the car, so I'll pick it up from when he lets me leave the car.

I approach the back steps, while he parks on the bottom stair...


He waits for just the right moment...


And then lets loose with a mighty lionesque scratch.


The presence of such might and power elicits fear and respect.


A rough translation of the markings: 

BEASTY LION-WARRIOR PROWLS HERE
MOUSES & N'TRUDERS BEWARES

    We'll also add that he's warning everyone else to stay away from HIS human! :-D

    He's a beautiful boy! Black cats are my very favourite. They seem to have extraordinary personalities and intelligence.
