Caturday: The Paws
Cat paws are such delicate and fascinating things. Have you really ever looked at them? I am amazed how they provide such support to jump way up onto things when they are so soft and smushy. But that is exactly what they were designed for – they are shock absorbers. And did you ever notice your cat using their front paws to hold things like humans do? They have 5 fingers on their front paws but only 4 on their back. Want to know more about paws? Here are 9 Fascinating Facts About Cat Paws

Caturday: Stop Watching Me!
Noel is looking a little worried because the Charles pillow seems to be watching her no matter where she goes. I am worried that we will come home and find that pillow shredded to pieces because it just spooked her once too often. Better the pillow then the actual pup, at least. Noel is larger than Charles in real life.

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

Noel’s wish for her birthday is just to sleep wherever and when ever she can.

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.
