  • Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Boarding Time

    I am currently in New York, which means Luna is currently at her usual boarding place.

    She adjusted to her surroundings fairly quickly. It is probably somewhat familiar as we have been boarding Luna here for most of my time in San Francisco. And the staff knows her and will probably be spoiling her while I’m gone.

    They do make sure to provide one of her favorite rooms along the kitchen hallway, where she can see the human activity from a high perch just like at home.

    I am currently focused on this trip, which should be an interesting one. But I do always look forward to being reunited with Luna when I return home.

    There are times when I envy Luna’s ability to just relax.

    After several weeks of hyper-activity and a bit of tumult, we are enjoying a quiet weekend at home, with plenty of sun puddles.

    I of course have quite a few things to do – preparing for my annual New York trip and getting out a couple of gig reports for this site – but time with Luna is definitely a priority.

    The main cat looks a lot like Luna 🙂

    I snapped this picture of a bashful Luna during a rehearsal yesterday for my upcoming Pitta of the Mind performance at the Meridian Gallery in San Francisco.  Luna is often very shy around company, but she does come out for a few select friends whom she has decided are OK.
