*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Nice
I like how you've said a lot here in so few words Pamela, and "in-between" gets me thinking 🐈⬛
- This photo is absolutely magnificent. The little triangle shape, seen through the window. The tree off to the right of the cat. The main subject. The bit of fur sticking out. The features hidden. Oh it's just too beautiful to look at. 🐈Oh you said a lot in a little. And somehow I am sitting here grieving. Feeling sad on the inside. Like something is missing. A fur little one. - I like how the two first line supported each other. Then the ending line was where it punched us in the gut. Outstanding work, Pamela 🤗 ❤️ 🖤
This reminded me why I love Vocal: real words, real emotion, no filters.
I never had a black cat, but I can imagine them being a wild watcher.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your cat. They're so like family members.
Heaven better hold a place or i'm gonna march up there and make one! What a gorgoeus cat! I'm so sorry you lost him, but so glad you got to have him!
What a smashing use of Sentinel 😀
Black cats are definitely special and there’s a special place for them in heaven.
Is that your cat? What's his/her name? Please forgive my memory if you've revealed this before 😅😅 Loved your photo and poem!
I was going to write something about a black cat this morning, will check out the challenge
