Professor Ceiling Cat here; I’m heading home at last from Louisiana but visiting old friends along the way, so posting will light for just a few more days. As always, I will do my best. Greg has another post on snakes to put up (make sure you read his terrific post on the four-legged fossil snake); I hope Grania will pitch in; and perhaps Matthew as well. And I still have trip posts in the offing.
Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, the cherry harvest is copious, but has been interrupted by rain. I am informed that there will be no dearth of pies for me when I next visit. My goal is to have cherry pie EVERY DAY when I go to Poland in late September/early October. And Hili is up her usual vertical peregrinations:
Hili: How did the Roman Empire fall?
A: More because of the bureaucracy than because the might of the Vandals.
Hili: I will be careful then.
Hili: Jak upadło cesarstwo rzymskie?
Ja: Raczej z powodu biurokracji niż z powodu potęgi wandali.
Hili: To ja będę ostrożna.
Leon: Shall we roast a sausage?


Leon looks especially swank in his handsome summer wear. The burnt umber tunic picks up the charring on the camp fire rocks. He meets the highest aesthetic standards of any cat I know.
Of course! He is the Most Interesting Cat in the World, after all. 😉
Feline claws are especially suited to slashing through bureaucratic encumbrances.

Leon finally got his important phone call.
It was regarding sausages.
