Good Morning, It’s Zip Waiting To Meet Me

by Jon Katz

It’s different now. Every morning, when I wake up and come downstairs, I look out the living room window, and a small black and white cat is waiting for me, sometimes quietly, sometimes impatiently, sometimes curiously.  Zinnia is usually at my side and looks out the window. So I will start doing a Good Morning, Sip photo on the days he is out there waiting for me.

When I get dressed (or throw on a bathrobe), I come out, and we spend a few minutes together, depending on how cold I am. (Tomorrow, it will be in the 50s.) Then Zip dashes off to the woods or the march to catch something.

I’ve never had a cat who did that before. I like it. It changes the whole texture of the morning. Zip is the most photogenic animal I’ve ever had.

  1. I have to laugh when I think about the busybodies who think Zip is being poorly treated. That looks like one fat and happy cat to me.

  2. Seeing Zip makes me smile! He is a beautiful subject for your camera and will be helping you in the Spring flower planting. Thanks Jon.

  3. Good Morning! I love Zip! I love all your animals, but I have a soft spot for Zip.
    I lost my wonderful 15-yr old tuxedo cat in December and every time I see Zip, it brings a smile to my face and heart.
    So glad you & Maria got him.

  4. Zip is the man! Hundreds, if not thousands agree, he’s an awesome addition to Bedlam. I assume the dogs, donkeys, sheep & chickens have not suffered a bit because of him. Just another reason to make you & Maria happy. We all love hearing about y’all’s happiness.
