the ugly earring

ug‧ly [uhg-lee] offensive to the sense of beauty; displeasing in appearance

a one eyed momma cat

with 5 comments

(picasso, la celestina, 1904)

she showed up on our doorstep, one eye hazed with blindness and two baby kittens in tow. a sweet, gentle feline; but, she’s remained nameless except for the “yama cat”‘ that  serves as a temporary moniker.  

today, she is celestina,

the cat who sat on my black velvet cape.

  3. Ah, I’ve missed this one. Looks like a Blue Period piece, is it?

    Kitty probably thought your cape was just waiting for some cat fur. I love/hate when they do that.

  5. Celestina is a good name, even if it’s only for a day or two.
