PHOTO OF THE WEEK #30 - "Were you talking to me?"

I realized that Maggie the dog gets featured on my Photo of the Week project often, and even Sachi the new kitten has shown her cute little face on here.  But my poor old cat...... I don't think I've ever had him on here (and if I have, it's been very rare).

Yes, he is old.  He turned 17 last September.  I'm pretty sure he's deaf now and I'm surprised he hasn't had a heart attack when the kitten sneaks up on him, jumps on his back and puts him in a choke hold.

Nisei has become more friendly as he's gotten older.  He never used to show his face when company was around.  Now he comes out looking for some rubs and maybe a treat or two (that is...if he realizes that there are people in the house).  He has that horrifying loud meow that you can hear, I swear, at the neighbour's place.  He's always sleeping on my side of the bed when I want to crawl in it.  And finally, his fur gets tattered looking so quickly these days and is always falling out.

But, he's a part of the family and things would not be the same without him and we all love his funny, quirky and even annoying ways.

Thanks for looking!
