Friday Cat Blogging
I really don't ever participate in Friday Cat Blogging, but I'm going to do it this week. But I'm doing it with a little spin. I'm not posting a picture of one of my cats. I'm posting a colored pencil painting my father did of an Egyptian mau. BTW, I think the Egyptian word for cat - mau - is easily the most intelligent word for cat in any language. Where does the word "cat" come from? It's obvious where the term "mau" is derived from. But "cat"? Eh?

Beautifully done.
Mao is cat in Chinese (not the same tone as the 'Chairman Mao'). It's also used in a lot of the SE Asian languages. Makes sense to me.

Leslie,
I'm blogging Hannuka recipes, too, but I'm completely jealous about the cat. Your father is a gifted artist, that is beautiful work.
