I am lucky enough to meet sympatico minds on Facebook from time to time, and one of them is Pen. She the proud owner of several beautiful felines but by far the most unique one is Cha-Cha. Cha-Cha has a strange habit of bringing back odd things and placing in the "proud spot" that most cats have to show their owners how much they love them. While my Russian Blue, Ali Baba, will give me everything from half-eaten bunnies to voles to live frogs, Cha-Cha just brings back the most eclectic mix I have ever seen. Pen originally posted some of her odder finds on her Facebook page, but I encouraged her to post a continuing blog of whatever her curious kitty brings back. Cha-Cha does not descriminate in what she gives as gifts. Pieces of plastic wrappers, napkins, bubble gum wrappers, sticks, hunks of bark are all presented to Pen in the same "proud spot." The organic and the inorganic are all subject to Cha-Cha's gifting. What attracts her initially to a particular item is a mystery.
To further add to the wonderful photographs of kitty curiosities are Pen's musings over what Cha-Cha means by presenting her with such odd presents. An empty bubblegum wrapper - did Cha-Cha eat the gum? A hunk of bark - what is the meaning of it? An empty cigarette pack - has Cha-Cha taken to smoking in secret?
Cha-Cha's gifts and Pen's comments make a wonderful narrative in an ever continuing story. So for all of us who love our furry friends, be they canines, felines, reptile or rodent, who periodically present us with oddities that defy explanation, I present the new blog, Cha-Cha's Gifts.
