Which had more to do, I think,
with the evolving contents of our camera drawer than with any
wish to neglect the earlier furry generations.
On the other hand, my relationship
with Pinky was something memorable,
and I haven’t yet come across a shot of her younger contemporary,
Nok-nok (originally Nocturne). So maybe I’m not absolved
of favoritism, after all.
Pinky’s granny, Popcorn, by the way, was the cat who loved
to supplement her diet, in season, with June bugs. These were
beetles about an inch long that would fairly swarm over the porch
screens, especially near the
light. She’d jump up and bump the screens to dislodge them,
whereupon they would fall to the concrete and lie on their backs,
squeaking. Until she’d amble along and crunch them. Two good,
audible chews each, and then she’d move along to her
next victim.
