"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Animal Wednesday - Black Kitten...for Marianne und Sjimmie

The wonderful, talented, world-wide traveller, Marianne, will soon be on the Eastern Shores of the USA - visiting Lolo, KJ, JB, Mim, Emma, Bliss and Stella. I am so sorry not to be there...as I would love to meet her in person.

Marianne is also the Mum to her beautiful children and also her gorgeous "animal kids". I adore them all, but have to confess a particular favourite is her black cat - Sjimmie. He is, without a doubt, the "King of the Castle".... sleek and smart..and he knows it. This little video is NOT Sjimmie as a kitten.....although I have no doubts he was very like as a small black ball of fluff.

So, on this Animal Wednesday....a small tribute to "King Sjimmie"! My pre-visit gift to Marianne.

Love to all,

♥ Robin ♥

p.s. In case you are wondering....the little kitten DID NOT eat the parakeet!

    I was just on my way here to say good bye to you before I leave and find this surprise here!!!!
    So cute!
    You are such a dear friend Robin!
    I am sorry you can't be there with us.......but I know WE will meet one day too!

    This is exactly how Sjimmie was when he was little :)
    Thanks for the video. I liked the suspense with the music and the parakeet. Hope he leaves her alone when he grows up.....

  4. What a darling kitten. That poor parakeet won't have a chance after this kitty grows up. What energy. HAW.

  5. Toooo too cute!!! I love kitten energy although I'm not sure I'd want to live with it right now. I'd have to shoo him out of my wet paintings!

  6. the music energized me. i almost jumped off the couch. instead i ate my grapes faster and faster. :)

    you are now an animal wednesday pro, wrobin. pretty fun!

    i am not sure where emily rabbit IS! she sneaks out with the ducks when in ptown. i don't really worry because this is a very safe place but still, she should ask permission. i try to be strict...

    i love cats. i am allergic and that is sad.

    this is a mish mash of a comment.

    love love

  8. Wow, that music was a hoot. The kitten, of course is darling. I have always wanted an all black cat...Kj, made me laugh, eating her grapes faster :-). xoxo

  9. That is the cutest video and yes, the music is purrfect! I think I will use it in a post, too...thanks for sharing! Kittens are a zillion 'Kodak Moments' every day...I will miss their antics when I eventually 'retire' from breeding.

  11. Liebe Marianne....I posted EARLY in the hopes you would see this before you and Felix left.
    Hooray!

    I KNEW Sjimmie had to be very like this as a kitten!

    Have a marvelous time with "the Girls" and Brian! Hug them all for me!

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

  12. Jossie... you saw Sjimmie as a kitten? He must have been a little whirling dervish!

    I do know Marianne has two Shi Tsus.... but can't recall her posting pictures. I love Snuffles.... and such a great name!

    Huggles and Loveales,

    ♥ Robin ♥

  13. Lisa.... actually, I think the "parents" of both animals will move the Parakeet away from the "Wild One's" territory as he grows.... the house and the way they shot the video (great music editing) makes me feel they are real animal lovers.

    Hugs and more hugs!

    ♥ Robin ♥

  14. Dear Lolo,
    I agree...now is NOT a time for a kitten in your bisy life.... besides, what would Bliss and Emma think? Mon Dieu!

    Hug Marianne for me!

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

  15. KJ....you are too funny! I laughed so much as I visualised your chomping on grapes in time to the music!!!!!!

    What did Emily think of the video? Does she like cats?

    Love, Love,

    ♥ Wrobin ♥

  16. Anne, I do love all-black kitties....my very first one, aptly named "Spooky"....(hey, I was just a child)..was all black with green eyes...
    The first time I "defied" my parents.... our nrighbours cat had a litter...with one black fellow amongst the other four....I took him home and announced to my parents that I was "keeping him".... my Mum was hard-sell....but my Father said 'ok'....

    Love you, dear one,

    ♥ Robin ♥
