Camouflage

Can you see what's there? Someone almost sat down here.

This feral calico cat did not stir. It's not unusual to see cats in the Jindai Botanical Gardens. Calico cats are not common here, though. Elizabeth Coatsworth wrote about one in The Cat Who Went to Heaven. It's a nice story set in Japan. It's one of our favorites. The author said three colored cats were considered lucky. This cat was fortunate to have a safe place in the sun and in the shade.

This picture was taken on the 10th. It was a beautiful bright day. It drizzled all day today.
