There is something about a cat sleeping in the sun that elicits such serenity, relieving your stress and making your worries disappear. A dozing kitty, lounging luxuriously in a patch of sunlight, makes me smile. Featuring Maru from Japan.

Basking in the Sun

Sleeping kitty
Lying in the sun
With white mittens
Sprawled about
Dreaming of tuna
And lots and lots of yarn
Dozing and snoozing
Drifting in tranquility
His golden eyes closed
A vision of contentment
Of a languorous afternoon

    Perfect. We inherited our son’s cat once, mother of one of our cats, and she looked just like this. lovely girl she was.
