THIS IS NOT A WEATHER REPORT..


It is a cat report.

It has been assembled specifically for the June 7-8-9 edition of our long-running weekend feature Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap. 

Though it is not a weather report, it is important to note that this edition was inspired by a sun rising into a largely not overcast sky -- for a change. 

And we have the required napping cat, too. That is our Junior Office Cat Stevie Ray Treeboy who spotted the empty shelf where Senior Office Cat William Powell usually spends his mornings. 
William opted to go somewhere else, so Stevie Ray stretched out in the sun -- after checking out the sun's light that lit a rectangle across the top of that bookcase shelf.

Stevie Ray looked up and asked, “What’s this bright stuff?”
He’s become accustomed to cloudy, rainy mornings. Suddenly there's sunshine and the morning napper is awake and an all curious cat once again. 
While snapping that photo of Stevie Ray stretched out, I must have stirred the Ol' Sunrise Veteran William -- thats him in the "open" area of the curtains, looking back and explaining how the sun works to his protege Stevie Ray.

William took Stevie Ray in after the little kitten grew old enough to understand that Willam was a good role model for learning how to be a very responsible cat. 
Stevie Ray is the fellow I rescued from being stranded and yowling on a flimsy Mimosa tree limb in our Dallas front yard.
He was at my eye-level and the little black-and-white bundle of fur and noise happily allow me to reach into the tree and use my right hand to pick him up off the limb. 
Stevie Ray then, as weeks moved by, bonded with William and William bonded with him. They've been pals ever since. They'll even share treats on my desk each morning as I try to gain enough personal focus to type words rather than declare myself an artist and slap watercolors on sheets of typing paper and declare each "piece" to have been produced by a creative cat.
That dog photo? Along about the same time I was snapping William counseling Stevie Ray, I turned to see Porche Noel (in her tribute to the Beatles White Album pose) snoozing with her pal, the big guy, Dudley the Angel. Yes, I let sleeping dogs lie.
[LARRY NOTE:Dear Readers, you'll just be so surprised when you observe your animals and realize what you're seeing. Snap photos of your slumbering critters and send their photos and their stories to [email protected] and we'll post them in a long-running weekend feature, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie & Napping Cats Nap. It'll only be a paying gig if I win Lotto Texas this weekend. Right now, photos in this feature are demonstrations that animals are easy to love and can sleep anywhere if you train them properly. I'm kidding. There's no training at all to nod off -- they're darned near human, my dear drowsy readers!]
