Phierce Phidian

I posted this shot to Warts and All quite a while ago. But it's perfect for Halloween. Phidian in all his glory. You'll definitely want to biggify.

I just love the maniacal look on his face. This is kill-the-toy mode. The Boys love their feather toy, but when Phidian catches it, it's game over! He's good for about 5 minutes of clamped teeth and growling. It's gonna be good and dead when he's done.

The funniest part is that Phidian is a total marshmallow: soft, sweet, and utterly mild-mannered.

One, two, three, A-a-a-a-a-a-l-l-l Stretch!

Snooze With Yarn = Still Life

Sometimes Phidian gets pushed aside by Lil Big Bro, Cicero. Result is his backstroke attitude wedged between the chair and me. This is one laid-back boy, determined to stay asleep.

Solitary Splendor

Cicero eats very slowly, and Big Lil Bro Phidian wolfs his food and tries to see if any of Cicero's is left. So I feed Cicero in another room. This leaves Phidian free to join me watching the news. He's grown to enjoy having an entire lap for himself. Well, almost for himself. He has to leave room for the knitting and the iPad.

The Spa for the Evening

Phidian knows how to groom his Lil Big Bro. Note the pure enjoyment on Cicero's face.
