Gentle Renn

My big boy, Renn, is a gentle fellow. He is easily intimidated by other cats and prefers peace and quiet to go undisturbed. The sounds he makes have always been low and soft, even when giving his characteristic drawn-out warning of something he doesn’t like (such as a trimming of the bum-hair.)


I noticed some time ago that he will often doze in this posture. To me, it looks like a bird, tucking his head back into his feathers. Renn doesn’t sleep like this, but as he slips from waking to slumbering, and maybe back again, he will lie as if demurely embarrassed. I think this symbolises my old friend’s character.

  6. He looks so sweet and dear in this picture. I fell in love with him all over again just seeing him here. It's easy for me to get very attached to many of the CB Kitties. I enjoy their loving family life, and I grieve when they fly away. Yours have always affected me as I, as well as the rest of us here, am incuded in their lives.

  7. Renn looks too comfy to interrupt, however it would be difficult not to give him is pet and a kiss, gently to not disturb out of la-la-land.

  8. Such a handsome boy! I'd have a hard time not reaching out to pet him when he looks so relaxed.

  11. What a sweet boy!
    I'm trying to keep up with your posts but with medical things happening with my youngest son, it's been a struggle.
    Glad to see all three on the bed in your other post. Also, beautiful Minuet's face!

  12. That is a sweet thing about Renn. He is the kitty peacemaker, I think. Non-controversial!

    And Happy Canada Day!!🇨🇦
