Today, I’m one year old ! I’m not any more a kitten. I’m so happy to have humans who love me and a great older brother ! When I arrived in my forever home, I was just a key holder (it’s Claire who says it) ; I grew well up, what do you think about it ?
On the occasion of my birthday, I offer this cute key holder to one of you ! Good luck !

Monday’s quotation :
To err is human, to purr is feline. Robert Byrne.
Have a good week !
Zorro laughed well recently when he saw me looking for the ladybird which I had down on the nose ; he even dared to say that I needed glasses ! This ladybird was just outside my field of vision, that’s all…
The cats eyes are made to spot the slightest movement. Our vision field is bigger than that of human : human covers approximately 210o (120o binocular), and we cover approximately 285o (130o binocular).
Proportionally to the size of our head, we have big eyes.
Our pupillary reflex to the variation of luminous intensity is extremely fast : only big cats of the Felis genre can retract their pupil to the size of a slender vertical crack. We can dilate it also considerably to see better at night.
We are able to distinguish colors, but less well than humans : we are little sensitive to red, and we could say that our vision of tints is more pale. This is due to the structure of our eye cells : we have more rod cells (night-vision in black and white) than cones (diurnal and colored vision). We are diurnal and crepuscular predators, thus our eye is perfectly adapted to our nature.
Two erroneous assertions have nevertheless firm existence :
The sun shines and the temperatures are softer since a few days. Claire cut raspberry bushes in the garden, and some other shrubs. Insects begin to go out.
ZORRO : Hello, ladybug ! What are you doing here ?
ZORRO : You’d better to go outside, look how the weather is fine !
PIXIE : Hello, ladybug ! What do you say ? Speak louder, I can’t hear !
PIXIE : And then, where did she go ?
