Buck the Cat Descending a Stair….hmmm, that has a bit of a ring to it, eh, Marcel?

Buck the cat grabs at a fishing lure. Such a nimble cat. Meow.

Daily Cat 256

Buck the Cat surveys his realm from is six foot cat tower in the living room. It’s good to be prince.

Buck the cat is doing well in Wisconsin I am told. He’s highly adaptable, probably hardly misses me at all…sniff.

Here’s Buck, painted from one of his archive photos. Oh, how I miss him while we’er in stockholm. I’m emotionally dependent on his omnipresent indifference and I don’t even mind when, out of the blue, he’ll hiss and bite the hand that feeds him (that’s my hand.) He’s not the best cat but he’s my cat and I forgive his miscreant ways. Meow.

While we’re in Sweden, Buck the Cat is on his own vacation with his Wisconsin family. He’s doing well, just in case anyone’s wondering. Anyway, there’s this Cat Cafe here in Stockholm. For $20. and the cost of a coffee one is allowed to go into a room for 55 minutes where there’s 7-9 roaming cats, all available for adoption. The cast changes as thedays roll by. I’ve been there twice, fool that I am. I need a kitty fix occasionally. Mostly I watch them play, cavort, fight, eat and sleep. None seem to be lap cats and patrons are warned not to pick them up. Petting and the ear scratch is allowed. I’m getting the cat models I paint there to continue my Daily Cat series. However, I really miss Buck the Cat and there’s no substitute for him.

Buck the Cat times the pounce with precision. Meow.

Cat Descending a Staircase. Meow.

Buck the Cat tidies up. Meow.

Buck the Cat is fastidious. Meow

Grazing cat. Meow.

Festive Cat and none too happy. Meow.

In Florida, roosters and chickens are feral. That’s where this one lives. They’re only as tames as they need to be and live well in their free range.

Black Cat, birdseye view.

Meow.
