You would know them by one of many names, and today, that would be simply Augustus and Ollie.
The birds took my breath away, I felt that this was the first time that I had seen such yellow birds in the skies that tent us. When I looked above I only saw one and later when I looked at the picture there was a bonus bird on a lower branch!
Down below in our cement yard, Augustus had just finished his noms and had a serene look on his face, which to me indicated something profound. He wanted to set some goals for himself but he needed to reflect in his own personal space!
When I saw his downward glance I did not need to look down to see what furry gingery naughty beast was waiting down below. You see Ollie plays this game where he likes to block the path for Gus and Gus has to find a way around him.
Here Gus is considering the back way ...Nah nah nah...you don't give in Gus, I advised him.
Ollie is not pleased with me, he is pleased with himself. I am pleased irrespective and I don't even know why.
His Puffiness, Ollie descends on the ground waiting for Fussy Gus to descend.
"Oh, who is giving me the innocent look here? Who is it I want to know."
"A man should pause and reflect and be just: his Lord, out of measureless grace, has made him a human being and honored him with the words: "Verily, We created man in the goodliest of forms” -- and caused His mercy which rises out of the dawn of oneness to shine down upon him, until he became the wellspring of the words of God and the place where the mysteries of heaven alighted, and on the morning of creation he was covered with the rays of the qualities of perfection and the graces of holiness."

Fun and games aside, I had two cat boys in front of me, and what better time than this for reading and reflection. So I asked them to ponder over what happened at the dawn of creation...
"A man should pause and reflect and be just: his Lord, out of measureless grace, has made him a human being and honored him with the words: "Verily, We created man in the goodliest of forms” -- and caused His mercy which rises out of the dawn of oneness to shine down upon him, until he became the wellspring of the words of God and the place where the mysteries of heaven alighted, and on the morning of creation he was covered with the rays of the qualities of perfection and the graces of holiness."
Cat boys meowed with delight, they knew all about perfection and grace so they made kisses and ran about frolicking!!
