Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Here is Shadow, our new pet Burmese, who is currently road testing a variety of chairs for comfort.
Cushions are a basic necessity.
So far, he chooses my verandah chair for ultimate outdoor comfort.

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

hello shadow! you look regally comfortable! thank you for joining me at pet pride!
I see Shadow has decided to stay on 'purrmanently'!
Shadow caught my eye immediately because he could be my cat Grayson's brother!
Shadow is a beautiful animal. So soft and furry and looks like a very gentle creature!
Hugs♥
What a cute cat !
And a lovely name !
Is he a long-haired blue Burmese? All the ones we bred were short-haired. He looks very comfortable.
Shadow is a hunk and that blue cushion goes well with his beautiful fur.
Shadow has got it made for himself. Looks very comfortable. He's beautiful. Must be quite a job to keep all that fur organized.
Lotsa luvly hair...
Cutee:D
Hi Shadow! You look really great for a cat! Hope to run into you again on Pet Pride!
Sam Schnauzer
shadow is absolutely adorable, a beautiful kitty!
I wonder if that has anything to do with those cockatoos dropping by every morning. He's a smart kitty.
Hello Shadow
You are looking
puuurfect and lovely .....
purss Kareltje =^.^=
What a floofy cat Shadow is! Looks so comfy in his chair.
Cats are so wise (or just comfort-loving..?) One can test if food is edible by trying to feed it to one's cat ;) I knew a cat which would not touch an ordinary mince meat (beef+pork) but it demanded ground steak, the best quality.
I've always liked grey cats, they looks so posh, so majestic, especially if they have long hair.
Hmm, I'd have thought that Shadow'd prefer a chair where you are sitting on, isn't that always the most comfy one :)
