From The Black Biretta, the blog of Fr. Trigilio:
Tiberius (Gaius Claudius Nero Caesar) on his imperial throne looking at Fr. Z’s scrumptious aviary friends
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

I want the “Finch” for lunch and the “Cardinal” for dinner. LOL
For those so inclined, “Classical Cats” is a fine study of the cat in classical antiquity I can highly recommend.
What a handsome kitty…and I’m not even a cat lover!
All Hail Tiberius!!!
A comment from my elderly puddy tats who are past the years of catching birds….
“If you catch them we’ll clean them.” :)
That is a very nice-looking cat!
To be Catholic is often to be a cat-holic.
For example…
Hey, a cat can look, can’t he…
(Sylvester often sits on the arm of the chair behind me when I’m on the computer, and now I think I know why…)
Oh, I love grey tuxies! He is quite handsome. Snorgles.
If he’s in grey, it’s more of a morning suit, really. Very dapper kitty.
He is handsome and looks very intelligent. I love the new camera
angle on the birdZ feeder, FrZ. Looks like he does too !
Maximus, Trajan and Pandora say hello from Boston.
Keturah and Melchizedek also say hello from Boston.
Keturah (a four-year old dilute tortie) put me through quite the steeple chase around the next door neighbor’s yard the other night as I attempted to separate her from a baby bunny that she had selected for dinner. Fortunately I was able to catch her and bring her inside for a more civilized meal of crunchies.
Melchizedek was born Thursday 2 June 1994, the Feast of Corpus Christi that year on the Roman calendar. He is even black and white! AT nearly fifteen his hunting days are behind him, although as an alpha male he still fights off other cats in the neighborhood – and oppresses Keturah. They do not get along at all.
Hey you guys – the names are a hoot! I’m amazed at Fr.Z’s names for everything – makes things interesting. All I have is a Michael and a Moses.
What a beautiful kitty!
Hey…does Papa Benedict’s Chico know about this?
Melody-I saw the EEVIIL kitty pic-very funny! But those cats look kinda ugly to me-IMHO.
Love the names….all Hail Tiberius!
