Remember that stray cat I blogged about back in March, who was adopted by Suzanne? Here’s an update, profusely illustrated, and containing some startling news about his likely origins.

What’s up
The Manual series, when complete, will tell you everything you need to know that you didn't learn in kindergarten. Belgian video-artist and soundcreator Swoon is making videos for some of its sections. Guest-author Luisa A. Igloria has been writing a poem a day since November 2010 in response to Dave's posts at The Morning Porch. Yet another on-going collaboration is the dialogue in poems and photos prompted by late-night conversations between Dave and British blogger Rachel Rawlins, a project we call Conversari. Finally, the Words on the Street cartoon, featuring Dave's urban doppelganger Diogenes, returned at the beginning of 2012 as a weekly feature after a several-year hiatus.Categories

What gorgeous markings he has! I’m glad to know he was rescued.
Hi,
I’m hosting the Ringing of the Bards poetry blog carnival, June 16. If you’d like to be included, leave a comment here or email me at tielansari @ gmail dot com any time through June 15.
Any style is welcome, but I’m particularly showcasing formal poetry this time around.
Don’t forget to come back and see the carnival!
What a beautiful cat. Those markings are spectacular. That’s a very cool cat.
I love stories with happy endings!
