Pet Shop Twins

Pet Shop Twins
The cat is the animal to whom the Creator gave the biggest eye, the softest fur, the most supremely delicate nostrils, a mobile ear, an unrivaled paw and a curved claw borrowed from the rose-tree.

Sidonie Gabrielle

The images in this collage are of twin cats who belong to the owner of a pet shop that I visited. They are beautiful and I was fascinated at how they followed each other around.  I read somewhere that in the case of animals, they are twins if they come out of the same sac.  The information that they were twins was given to me by the owner.  She was happy that I was photographing them and that I liked them so much.

Although I have my own cat, I hadn’t noticed her enough to describe her in the way that the writer of the above quote did.  Sometimes we see without really knowing what it is that we see.  “The imagination is like a lantern.  It illuminates the inner landscapes of our life and helps us discover their secret archaeologies.” (John O’Donohue)

Hope you enjoy the collage and that your insights and imagination are working well.  I’m glad that the quote set my imagination to work.
