Yes, I was rubbing the tummy in order to photograph the things that have done so much damage to skin, rugs, chairs, stools, laundry baskets, walls, doors, wall paper…

and yet dispite all that destruction, shoveling out poo & pee, sleeping in an uncomfortable position for fear of her leaving, we still fight over her for her affections, which can last only a few minutes or 20 seconds.

maybe because in those few moments of affection, they come with an engine that revs in pure pleasure & oh, to be loved like that.

its all worth it because we know to have a cat, be it a Black Panther, Tiger, Snow Leopard in our lives, it is a blessing.
