Nature: A fake grotto you can find in our local park “The 3 Fountains”, located near a lovely little lake which it crosses like a bridge, in fact the top of the grotto/corridor IS a bridge.
It’s lovely really, très fake medieval. And a favourite spot for those unforgettable wedding pictures.
Cats: Frankette showing how much she appreciates the quiet of the House of Chaos and the softness of its Couch.
Or maybe she’s just saying “MINE!”. Or it could be a quiet warning to Bouncing Psycho, who took this picture, to leave her in peace. Who knows…
The book "Tales from the House of Chaos" has been published with ISBN 978-1-4092-0781-8 as its number. Available immediately at Lulu.com, available soon at other outlets like Amazon.com.
Just to remind you, we have 7 main players in this game (besides some extras):
Loup-Garou Mafkat
("wherewolf" crazy/sleepy cat) - black with a little bit of white, très couch-potato
Freya Gastropode
("Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility/Stomach on Legs") - female grey tabby gastropod, mommy of Isegrim, tries to convince us that she is eternally starving and needs to be fed NOW
Bean Sidhe WOAH-He’s-Big-!
(a.k.a. Banshee "wailing ghost" = mythical Irish ghost/typical outcry of any visitor) - white and orange tabby part Maine Coon, trying to grow larger than the kitchen counter is high
Hrimnir de WC-plonzer, Protteke
("Shrouded with Frost" = mythical Norse giant/the toilet-plunger/little fart) - white, grey and cream tabby part Norwegian Forestcat, slowly turning into a very solid bloke indeed
Isegrim Dondersteen
("Grey Helmet/very busy critter") - grey with faint tabby markings, son of Freya
Frankette ‘t Poppemieke, Prottemie, Mieperke
(female "the frank one"/the little girl-doll/fart-girl/little meeper) - female white and black, one of the Frankensiblings who roam the Neighbourhood of Chaos but the only one who currently lives with us
Caramel El Krijs
("cute as candy" but emits sounds like nails on a schoolboard) - orange and white tabby - he's never home these days and prefers to reside at the local hospital/elderly home nearby where there ain't no Zorro trying to murder him
Also starring:
Grumpy Man, The Mistress, Bouncing Psycho, The Strong Woman of Flanders, The Lord of Toys, The Cleaning Scourge, The Man in White, and the occasional hapless visitor.

the grotto is very timeless.
as for the cat, she seems to be blinded by the camera flash or just too lazy to open up her eyes = )

I like the shot of the grotto, even if it is fake and could the cat look any happier? Next time around I want to be a cat! Happy WW!

I saw such a Grotto when I was in Turkey we walked through it, it was a real one. Dangerous for the head, lol !
