Leonine Floof

Despite spending little time outdoors, my cat Floof has grown progressively shaggier with every day of the winter.

He looks to my eyes less like a tabby cat, and more like a tiny lion, gazing over his dominion as master of all he surveys.

Springtime Floof

Floof is clearly enjoying springtime in the Ottawa Valley.

Unfortunately, his favourite seasonal pastime seems to be rolling in burrs, and transforming himself from a powder puff into a pincushion.

Removing the burrs has become part of our daily routine.

Floof and Cody

I installed a barrier atop Cody’s parrot house, after Floof tried to claim it as his royal palanquin.

They clearly enjoy one another’s company.  Nevertheless, I could foresee peril in Floof coiling his tail about within reach of Cody's beak.

Professor Floof the Dragon Rider

My colleague Deirdre DeLay surprised me with a delightful drawing of my cat Professor Floof as a dragon rider, based on my photograph of him frolicking amongst his stuffed toys.
