“Kitty See, Kitty Do” for Stumbled Upon

How many times have you stumbled upon a photo you absolutely love that doesn’t fit under any prompt classification? It happened to me today and try as I might, I couldn’t find any prompt to use it with, so I’ve decided to establish another prompt, “Stumbled Upon.”  There is no set timeline or date for the prompt. I just invite you to use it when needed.. When, looking for photos for another prompt, you stumble upon an absolute long-forgotten favorite, send it on down and link to this post. 

Years ago, someone dumped a box with four tiny kittens in it by my garage door. You can see them all  HERE if you weren’t following me back then.  Needless to say, that day I acquired 4 darling, inquisitive and very active new boarders. My old cat, incensed, moved out, only to come inside again months later when the kittens were inoculated, neutered and safe to be let out of the house. Then she moved back in, but kept her distance.  They, however, claimed the entire house as their own and especially loved the shelves and drawers of the guest bathroom, that they could explore at will, since there was a wide enough space between these shelves and the wall to allow them access to all the drawers, which became their hide-and-seek playgorund as well as an excellent spot for a snooze away from it all. I love the contrast between the live kitten and the sculpture made by a blind artist in Oaxaca.
