Sunday's photograph (no painting today)

I was that tired yesterday I was neither use nor ornament. I could neither relax nor sleep.
I was up at 3 am, but that can be a normal occurrence for me.
I got 3 hours sleep. Not enough, but better than yesterday.

I opened the back door yesterday morning, and the little stray all black cat rushed in (what?). He/she (I think a she, I'll have to give it a name) rushed to my bedroom and dived into Popeye's bowl of wet food, and was gobbling it up as if it were starving. Popeye woke up, began growling, so instead of shooing the little black cat away I held on to Popeye while the little black cat furiously ate, cleaned the bowl and shot outside. I released Popeye who had plenty of naughty words to say to me. But I took the bowl away,  cleaned the area, put fresh newspaper on the floor, and gave Popeye a fresh bowl of his favourite wet food.

It must have been in before when the back door was open to know the food was there. I had seen a black shadow from time to time when I looked near the floor, and told myself to stop imagining things. But it was that little black cat sneaking in...

Okay, I will call it Shadow for the moment.

A few times recently I heard a scream which appeared to come from a cat. And twice, this little black cat, Shadow, had shot into my garden all alarmed and with a bottle brush tail. The first time I heard a man's laugh, and Shadow shot into my front garden, all alarmed and scared and bottle brush tail. I went out in the road but no one there, nor any moving car. But Shadow had come from the direction of AH neighbour. The second time I heard a cat scream and Shadow shot into my back garden (from AH neighbour's back garden all scared and bottle brush tail again. I could hear AH over the fence.). Shadow, in the past weeks/month or so has always been a timid cat slinking around and has never approached me before.

I don't know what is going on. I have never seen Shadow fight, She always runs or hides. But stays in my garden when the other 3 regular strays are around. So they all get on.

In Snapseed and Procreate this morning, the solar 'eye' and reflections again photographed in the early hours. I played with it in Snapseed until the iPad battery 'died'...so that became my finished pic when the iPad charged up again.

Sun is out, going out in a mo to look what is going on outside. Two male blackbirds have been fighting...
