The Cats of University Heights: Sheen

We stay on Louisiana Street, where on the same block you might meet: Cuddles, Honcho, JinglesKuro, Regal, Saunter, or Squeaky. All-blacks are often hardest for me to distinguish. This fine feline bears resemblance to Kuro, who was spotted on a nearby property, but without bell collar; so I take a chance that the two are not one and the same.

The beastie backlog remains, but with fewer left to publish. While I have seen this shorthair several times over several months, the documented meeting (and greeting) occurred on Jan. 28, 2022.

Wow so much has happened since: Russia-Ukraine war; soaring U.S. (and global) inflation; and supply chain shortages, leading to some odd unavailable items (like baby formula)—not to ignore rising U.S. mortgage rates, popping housing bubble, and the Supreme Court leak that unleashed a culture wildfire about abortion.
