Is it the tumbling motion, the vibration, or maybe the heat that Nine and Mini like so much on top of the dryer?

Caturday: Noel Turns 11
Noel’s wish for her birthday is just to sleep wherever and when ever she can.
But when not sleeping, she is amusing us with her antics.
Happy 11th birthday, Noel. You bring us great joy and happiness.

Caturday: Stella the Fish
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

Caturday: Cats of Christmas Past – Gertrude
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.

Caturday: Cats of Christmas Past – Zachary
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.

Caturday: Cats of Christmas Past – Muffy
Muffin and the 3 snowballs, Christmas 2007.
We thought of turning his antics into a children’s story because he was the purrfect orange cat. Orange cats have a special attitude. Those of you that have had the luck to live with one, know what I mean.
We miss him every day. He was the ambassador of cats at DogDaz Zoo.

Caturday: 4 Part Study On Being Nine
Peanut is an expert at capturing Mr. Nine in pictures. Nine loves his scratching post (especially because that is where he gets his ‘nip). He was extra special cute today.

Caturday: Like Bread -Noel Will Rise
Peanut says that Noel is like a loaf of bread rising in her box. I am not always happy that I have to give up a major part of my kitchen table to her. Before this became Noel’s new bed, it was where I put my mail when I brought it in from the mailbox. You just can’t win when you have cats that must be up on your level and with you at all times. The kitchen and dining room are Noel’s domain. (There is white fur everywhere on everything.) She rarely ventures into other areas. Last night I did see her sleeping on Louise’s dog bed in the living room after all dogs were in bed, she does that occasionally. All the cats love Louise. I saw Noel give her a nose nuzzle the other day (in the kitchen of course). That was a very rare thing for Noel, the Christmas cat. Just some random thoughts on my NoNo.
Have a restful Caturday!
