that cannot be made the slave of the lash.
That one is the cat.
If man could be crossed with the cat
it would improve man,
but it would deteriorate the cat."
--MARK TWAIN
An online journal with photos and quotations (Emerson, Thoreau and others); blogging about cats, dogs, assorted wildlife, flowers, plants, food, etc. Although inspired by Thoreau's "Walden," this blog focuses primarily on the feral/domesticated cats and other creatures, visitors and inhabitants, found within Godot's Little Green Acre present-day mountain home, surrounded by trees--but, alas, there is no pond.
