Description
In the courtyard behind the school in Aix, the playground empties at six. That is when the two neighborhood cats take over. One climbs onto the see-saw, the other jumps on the far end, and for a moment they hover, staring at each other in mutual disapproval across the plank. Then one leaps off without warning and sends the other tumbling into the sandpit, and the whole performance begins again with great dignity on both sides.
This scene of feline mischief will charm anyone who lives with two cats who are best friends or worst rivals depending on the hour. It is a delightful present for sisters, for a couple who adopted siblings from the shelter, or for a child who loves storybook animals. Display it on a shelf at eye level so visitors can enjoy the balancing act, or on a nightstand where it can make someone smile first thing every morning.
