Resting Peacefully - Missoula, Montana

"Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many different ailments, but I have never heard of one who suffered from insomnia." 

- Joseph Wood Krutch (1893-1970)

Today our dear, opinionated Tigger enjoyed last visits and naps with his favourite people. Fittingly, sunbeams shone through the clouds to grace his departure. He was a good cat and agile bird hunter; and through all his many years, he never took guff from anyone, beast or human. It will take some getting used to his not being around, sauntering down the sidewalk with a raspy "Mwrow!" in greeting, followed by a head-butting brush of ownership - his owning us, of course.All of his collected people will miss him, but heaven is one stripey cat the richer.

Call it cliché, but it’s still true: they don’t make ‘em like they used to. At least it’s true about hood ornaments; the present-day variety are rarely as inspiring as on this seen-better-days 1953 Ford Victoria. Six decades ago, auto makers were apparently a little fixated on futuristic aircraft designs. View a quick image search for “1950s jet hood ornaments” and you’ll be inspired to watch at least one retro episode of the Jetsons!
