Whenever Babs Young writes about cats I find myself speechless. It is not that I do not appreciate cats. Miss Puss (who is a completely undiluted Tiger Cat of the First Order) will testify that I am a fool for her. But . . . well, see for yourself.
Babs writes: Here is my magical cat Selene (who is a moon goddess), a diluted Calico. She is gazing into the fire and dreaming of the inauguration of our next President. Mr. Obama speaks to her and has assured her that things will look up in 2009. This has had an amazingly calming effect on her. She and I wish you all the best in 2009.
Every week photographer Babs Young captures moments in northern Michigan, and every week she sends one—and sometimes more than one!—to Torch Lake Views just for you. You can find more of her photos by following the Babs Young Photos link in the Categories list over in the right column, or by going to her Michigan Pictures Archives: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

I knew when I posted it that a woman who keeps a cat named Pyewacket would find this photo irresistible.
