The Eurasian Eagle Owl and our crossbreed cat Sonsie are similar in coloring
and size. They both perch, one on our couch, the other in some tree in Asia.
They remain still and quiet for long periods, waiting to dine. They stare with
big eyes at small birds and, at night, mice. One chirps to reassure his
dinner, the other, who knows? To tell them apart is straightforward: when you
rise in the middle of the night and trip on something, if you hear a yowl, it's
not the owl.
Went down to my favorite thrift store, found nothing absolutely nothing in
cherry red. Bought instead gold-plated orchids, sent from some store in
Singapore. The box says they're "the most distinctive approved souvenir every
girl dream of." On the radio I heard the Stones singing, "You can't always get
what you want." Valentine's Day soon. Maybe I got what I need?
