Laying down on a Sunday afternoon.
I am never alone.
Not that I would ever want to be.
Well… maybe…. sometimes.
If you are in the US, remember to set your clocks ahead 1 hour as of 2 AM March 11.
And while you are at it, change your smoke detector batteries.

Stella is our Mackerel Tabby. I never heard that description before. Good to know.
A mackerel tabby has narrow stripes that run in parallel down its sides. This is what some people refer to as a “tiger cat.” The body has narrow stripes running down the sides in a vertical pattern.
Ideally the stripes are non-broken lines; evenly spaced. They branch out from one stripe that runs along the top of the cat’s back down the spine, resembling fish skeleton — which is why the term “mackerel” is used to describe it. According to Catster
I cannot imagine a life without cats!

“Oy Vey” or “Oy Vey Ist Mir” is a Yiddish exclamation meaning “Woe is me!”
Isn’t that so Sofie?
There are no words for the depths of her despair sometimes (for no reason other than she is Sofie).

This is a Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop. Thanks to BlogPaws for the hop. Head over there and see what they are blogging about.

It was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The big dogs and I went down to the river (it is way too cold for the little guy to be out long). We were going crazy cooped up in the house because of the weather.
Leave it to Sofie to find a blue crab claw hiding in the bushes. She thought she was going to have it for lunch. Though blue crabs are in the Chesapeake Bay (and my tributary the Magothy River) year round, I don’t think this crab was a recent catch.
We are blessed to live in such a beautiful place.
What kind of mischief did you get into today?

Charles decided that hiding in the pile of clean laundry is the perfect thing on a Sunday.
If it’s not a cat on top of a pile somewhere, now it is Mr. Little.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

Gertrude, Christmas 2004
This is my favorite picture of my wonderful calico, Gertrude. When K8 was in High School she took a photography class and developed this picture the ‘old’ way, in a dark room. I love the grain and texture.
Gertrude was a scaredy cat. In 1992 I rescued her and her sister, Alice, from a garage that was filled with 100 flea infested kittens. She was shy and quiet and unassuming her whole life (17 years). She lived in my office most of the time and would share her window with Muffin when he would come visit. She and Zachary really liked each other too. Her goal in life was simple, she just wanted to sit on my lap.

Zachary, Christmas 2008
Zachary was a Russian Blue. He and his sister, Cuddles, came to us as a pair. They could not be more different. Zachary was quiet and shy and spent most of his time in the kitchen or under a coach. If you sat quietly, he would sit down with you and make a little nest. You couldn’t find a sweeter boy.
