Suddenly Seymour!


This is Seymour. He is a neighbor's cat. Other than that he is fairly old and likes to watch the passing people from his porch perch, I don't know much more about him. I bet he has a lot of tales to tell! That face says it all.

A Visit to Walters Gardens Pt. 3 - Gray Shadow

One of the stops of the recent GardenComm annual meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was to Walters Gardens, a wholesale plant nursery, in Zeeland, MI. I shared images previously of the garden cats at Walters Gardens hereLast week, I shared a pretty black kitty here and two weeks ago, I shared images of a friendly tabby cat here.

This week, I'm sharing pics of a gray and white cat that was just a total lovebug. This kitty followed me around and demanded lots of head scratches and tummy rubs

A Visit to Walters Gardens Pt. 2 - Mama Panther

One of the stops of the recent GardenComm annual meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was to Walters Gardens, a wholesale plant nursery, in Zeeland, MI. I shared images previously of the garden cats at Walters Gardens hereLast week, I shared images of a friendly tabby cat here.

This week, I'm sharing pics of a sweet black kitty who ran out to greet me from behind a large hibiscus shrub. I think she was pregnant or maybe just bloated from a recent mouse hunt?

A Visit to Walters Gardens Pt. 1 - Tabby

One of the stops of the recent GardenComm annual meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was to Walters Gardens, a wholesale plant nursery, in Zeeland, MI.

I shared images previously of the garden cats at Walters Gardens here, so I knew there might be some kitties to visit with when we arrived on the tour bus that particular morning. It didn't take long for the cats to find us and I counted 3. I'll be sharing them individually over the next few weeks. Here is kitty #1 -- a very friendly tabby, who reminded me a lot of my own tabby, Fancy.

Young Blue Eyes

These three images of this Siamese cutie are by Robert Couse-Baker of Sacramento, California, USA. They were posted to PXhere.com. In the descriptive text, Robert writes: "Kitten got some Big Blue Room time today. She LOVED the birds."

At the Feet of a Hero


Washington Gardener Magazine intern Josh Panepento recently visited Puerto Rico and took this pic of a feral cat resting at the feet of the Abraham Lincoln statue in old San Juan. Notice the pots of Foxtail Fern (Asparagus densiflorus 'Meyersii') and palms nearby adding a touch of greenery.

Fern and the Redbuds

Fern is a 3-year-old rescue cat adopted from the Prince Edward Island Humane Society in Canada, whose owners are veterinarians. Fern in leash-trained and, I believe, is a Maine Coon.

We share an Instagram video post of her sister, Maple, a few weeks back. You can see it here.
