I've Got Friends in Strange Places

I snapped a couple of cute pet pictures at Lynn's house. Cicero is chillin' on the cat house and Saki is investigating a new centerpiece platter which Lynn received for Christmas. Pets express themselves through their physical presence more insistently than people, since they obviously lack the power of speech. I do get to enjoy an amazing level of communication with Cicero however. He communicates with his eyes. He'll come up to me at my desk, for example, and put a paw on my leg. When I look at him, he'll stare at me and then repeatedly glance over to the object of his yearning (like the back door) until I get the message.

What's that, Cicero? There's a fat squirrel up in our tree? I guess I'd better let you go chase him then!

Saki communicates with vigorous purring, leg-rubbing, meowing, shedding, licking, caterwauling, and pooping in the tub.
