Cats...

Here are some pictures of our cats :)
They have nothing to do with gardening, saving the planet, or anything else.  Just cats.

Freya

Willow: the cat who 'walked by herself'. Unfortunately, she passed on in May 2019.

A cat improves the garden
    wall in sunshine,
and the hearth in foul weather.

(Judith Merkle Riley, American author & academic. 1942-2010)

There's no need for a piece of sculpture in a home that has a cat. 
Wesley  Bates

The cat
is the animal
to whom
the Creator gave the biggest eye,
the softest fur,
the most supremely
delicate nostrils,
a mobile ear,
an unrivaled paw
and a curved claw borrowed
from
the rose-tree.  ~Colette

Cat Rule #437: She who owns the highest spot owns the world.

One of Willow's favourite places in the summer - snoozing under the cat mint hybrid
'Six Hills Giant'.

Cat Rule #382: Cats can sleep anywhere they like.  (Including the shade cloth canopy.)

Some people have cats and go on to live normal lives.

Ruby doing cat yoga with three legs.

Ruby had a hind leg amputated a couple of years ago, she manages well...but now she does some funny things with her body: like hanging her leg off the counter.  (below)

Willow in a spring snowfall. She could've come inside if she had wanted to!

If we treated everyone we meet

with the same affection we bestow upon our favorite cat,

they, too, would purr.

Art imitating life.

This is Dexter.... he doesn't live with us, but my sister often brings him for a visit with his doggie friends.

I had been told that the training
procedure with cats was difficult.
It is not. 
Mine had me trained in two days.
