Lara, my favorite feline, enjoying the springtime sun on the woodpile.Eyes half-closed, she is half-asleep, simply resting and absorbing the warmth (the warmth of the sunbeams and of my friendship).
Hebrew has a nice expression for that state of not-quite-asleep: nim ve-lo nim.

Yet another Lara post for Camera Critters meme.

Oh, she's a pretty one! Feeling a bit like her today, much to do and no time for a siesta.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful kitty!
ReplyDeleteHi Sweet Lara!!! May I join you in soaking up some sun???
ReplyDeleteShe must be hot with such a thick coat!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued to know there is actually a name for that trance like feeling :)

Spacedlaw, Lara gets a thick fur coat for winter, but a lot of it thins out for the summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cat! Is she wild or domesticated?
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cat!
ReplyDeleteEki, Lara was born wild. But she and her daughter come to a certain house in the neighborhood (not mine) almost everyday for food and petting.
ReplyDeleteGracious! This is putting me to sleep.
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely, Dina. And of course cats are solar-powered, but I'm glad she has friends.
ReplyDeleteK
She is adorable and a true friend.
ReplyDeleteI must remember that the next time I'm in a state of nim ve-lo nim Dina, I think pussy cats are the masters of this, they always find the best spots to slumber!
ReplyDeleteNice capture!
ReplyDeleteIN Greek there is also an expression for this state of semi-sleep - "Laghokoimamai" - to sleep like a hare!
I also thought if your cat is a wild cat with this amazing fur and eyes!
ReplyDeleteShe is clever, this is a nice spot to enjoy the sun.
