Vintage Photo

Cat and Parakeethttp://www.old-picture.com/american-legacy/000/Parakeet-and-Cat.htm

This is an image of a parakeet and a cat. It is quite accurately named Cat and Parakeet. The photo was taken by Harris & Ewing, whom obviously harbored at least two great pets throughout their lives. This picture illustrates the fluffiness of a cat's fur that cannot be described by words, much like how the feeling of not being able to take off one's new fur coat even when one is dying of heat because it is so fluffy and comfortable like a warm shower on a cold winter morning is cannot be described by words. The simple parakeet resting on the dark furry coat of an indifferent, indulgent cat outlined by negative white space over a soft flowery blanket like thing resembles a full 9 course dinner after a long day of cold back breaking work. That's why I think this picture is worth a thousand words.
