Lord Shadow in his usual Caturday position, sleeping on one of his humans. Today I was lucky enough to be chosen.

Happy Gotcha Day, Lord Shadow!
13 years ago today we submitted to the reign of our feline overlord.

An aerial view of His Lordship for National Pet Day. Lord Shadow assiduously avoids having his face photographed when he’s awake. Odd behavior for such a handsome boy.

A few years ago Lord Shadow auditioned for a job as a stone lion guarding the public library.

His Lordship was not excited to go to the vet today, but he was a very good boy (with a little help from the gabapentin). His weight is down a bit, so the doctor wants to do another ultrasound. He took his rabies shot like a champ and is now staring at the floor waiting for the gabapentin to wear off.

Lord Shadow loitering in the kitchen. He’ll likely begin bellerin’ soon, demanding lunch.

Lord Shadow’s Belated Birthday Dinner (that he didn’t get any of):
Braised Corned Beef (fork-tender & luscious), Fried Polenta, & Brandy Glazed Carrots. Dessert was a Chocolate Stout Cake with Irish Cream Buttercream Frosting.
Yes, we sang “Happy Birthday” to him. #LordShadowBringerOfDoom

Back in his normal spot, the snoozing Lord Shadow sports a bit o’ tooth.

This is new. In all his years (going on 13), Shadow has never slept NEXT TO my legs on the couch, always BETWEEN them.

Lord Shadow demonstrates the proper “loaf” technique.

Lord Shadow snoozing next to me on the couch, his paw comfortably resting on his fluffy tail.

Lord Shadow on my lap getting a pre-lunch ear scritch. And the purr motor is humming.

Yes, there is an actual cat in this swirling wad of fur. Lord Shadow shields his eyes with a paw.

When his humans are moving around too much for Lord Shadow to sleep on them, he snoozes in front of the heating vent.

“A Study In Fluff”
Or
“A Descent Into The Maelström”
Lord Shadow curled up in my lap, his fur swirling into a mesmerizing vortex. (Apologies to Edgar Allan Poe.)
