Henry 🦁 wanted to join Eileen with Saturday Critters!
See my glasses for size-reference.This is 8.0*10.5 cm - 3,1*4,1 inch.
I started this after thinking it is a joke but seeing Christine can do this, so I thought, give it a go.
And, especially for jumpy people like me this is great training ... and FUN.
The light came from the left, so no real shadow on his head or tail.
This is one of my coffee-mugs.
So... "Hi, Eileen!"
I had a biiiig, looong talk with a new - FEMALE!!! - colleague after our 3-day workshop on railway.
(I´m working in a men´s-world, so this is special)
We also talked about our pets.
We stood on a Friday on the sidewalk for 2 hours!!!
My feet hurt like crazy walking 3+ km after that.
After a gazillion of subjects two unleashed dogs came near.
I am afraid of dogs.
On questioned why told her about our German Shepherd dog who was so aggressive when suffering cancer and being so much in pain and me being too young to ask my Mom to let her (her name was Inka) put down.
Just a couple of weeks ago, on a Sunday, her cat... she has twin-kids, a boy and a girl, 12 years old, played on the balcony on third floor. The sick family cat... she tried everything but understood the poor guy was in too much pain.
She wanted to take him to the vet to put him "to sleep" come Monday.
Instead. I nearly cried... the desperate cat jumped off the balcony to death. Her kids saw it all and could not help, the cat was too fast, a last effort to end the pain.
Now who states animals cannot think. The cat never went onto the balcony much, but that day.
On a lighter, happier note: They still have his brother, 18 years old, a Granpa, so to say.
Some days he behaves like that, she told me, other days... like a teenager zooming around like crazy, making her kids happy.
I think we can learn a lot from animals, aka "Critters".
So... have a happy Saturday and give an extra-pat to your pet, if you have one (we don´t).
If you come straight from Eileen, see Henry´s foot here... (two posts, I was forced to, kinda!)

I love the coffee mug. If I ever see one here I will buy one, maybe. I already have too many coffee mugs.
Sad about the cat, but they are smart and know when they are dying. Usually they will just take themselves away to where they can't be found and just die alone. The other one is 18 people years, so he is 88 in cat years. He is doing well to still be sometimes zooming around.
Yes, I have way too many mugs, also! And I see so many wonderful ones all the time.
I once read a "scientific" book where the author stated animals cannot think. What a dumbhead.
Yes, so sad the cat could not wait one more day. He did not die on the dot. They had to bring him to the emergency vet that Sunday night. Such a sad story.
And such a good Brother!!!
Hello Iris,
I love your cute lions, well done! It is a sad story about the cat jumping off the balcony, I can only assume the pain was just too much. It was not a happy sight for the children to watch. Now, you can give the brother more love and hugs. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Thank care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Very sad about the cat.
...Iris, enjoy your weekend.
Hello :=) Your lions are fab! I collect mugs also, but they have to be tall and wide, for a good mug of tea or coffee. It's a great shame about your cat, It will be with the angels now without pain.
Best Wishes
Sonjia.
Eileen, yes, so sad the poor cat could not wait to go in peace...
So wonderful his Brother gives everything to cheer the kids up!!! He must miss his Brother, also...

William, yes. If it hadn´t been for vets not working on weekends.
Or for DARN CANCER.

Tom, I do my best....

Sonjia, it was my colleague´s cat. Still so sad.... Glad he has this strong and healthy Brother to make up for her kids!
I have too many mugs! ;-)
