The Orange Cat

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made slave of the leash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve the man, but it would deteriorate the cat." - Mark Twain

"With their qualities of cleanliness, discretion, affection, patience, dignity, and courage, how many of us, I ask you, would be capable of becoming cats?" - Fernand Mery Her Majesty the Cat

This photo was made in one of the many shops Jenne and I visited on our Ocracoke Island, NC vacation back in June. It is a detail of a very large stone ware serving platter, which looking back, we should have purchased.
