Young Master James Selwyn Nightshade is growing like a weed

when he grows into that face and paws, he is going to be an impressive feline.

The Young Master has gorgeous eyes.

There were no Perseids to be had over here either, just an (admittedly nice) copper moon.

I like the subtitle to Chapter Three. Keep putting the boot into PR/UF!

Thing is...in that chapter title, I have to own up to making light of Urban Fantasy when it was still Urban Fantasy (classic fantasy tropes in contemporary urban settings, often well written), before the term was co-opted by the leprous taint of ParaRom. So, I feel a little guilt. But it's such an appropriate chapter title. And genuine UF did have a shit-ton of clichés, and that was one.

And, in truth, the photos do not do his eyes justice. They fail to show the violet, and the streaks of pink.

Let us hope that Young Master James Selwyn Nightshade never meets Phyllis Irene Radford's Mr. Chessie. Besides being near-clones of each other, I fear the universe might implode from the Kitteh Cuteness.

Not to speak of Kitteh World Domination.

Cute kitten lurking behind cut!

That second photo in the dark stripe of sunlight is wonderful.

And has he got eyes.

there is too much artificial light where I live to see the Perseids. In fact I don't think I have ever seen them. :/

Even in Providence, there's too much light. We'd planned to drive down to Point Judith, or out to western Connecticut...but then the clouds rolled in, damn them.
