See Hector.
See Ella and Hector.
See Ella walk like Hector.
See Ella sit like Hector.
Hector is the neighbor's cat who lives three doors down from Ella. Ella's little friend, who also just turned three lives with Hector, along with a fifteen month old. I've never seen such a docile cat around little ones. I love to see him come around because he is just so easy-going around the girls. He lets them do almost anything to him. In my archives I have photos of Ella and her friend petting him, and you know how a year-old child would be petting...not too gently.
Ella is always glad to see him. On this particular day I was watching them and had my camera close by. When he lay down on the sidewalk, so did she. When he put his paws out in front of him, out went her arms. It was interesting to watch her look at him and place her arms just like his. When he leaned down and licked his paw, down went her head and she licked her arm. It was quite an amusing show for several minutes.

What a refreshing and funny post.I absolutly love it! This explains why she spent a good 1/2 hour today curled up an meowing!
Ella and Hector...what a PURRfect pair...so cute.
So sweet...good "photo essay."
are you back home?
Lovely pictures.... and such a regal cat. He does seem to condescend to interact with the children. But, he never makes eye contact... how interesting.
We had a cat like that once. You could do anything to Rocky. Hang him upside down, pet him, ruffle him up - he took it all with a yawn. He used to walk into other people's houses too. One day he ran away (or somebody kidnapped him).
Ella and Hector look good together. Happy and having fun - just what summer is for!
Great pictures.
I guess that's the original "copy cat". She's a real cutie and I like how her mind thinks.
Beverly, if she were any cuter, she'd need a license! Or a body guard.
