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 here. Last 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

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 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.

JoJo Kitty

Jojo is the spoiled kitty of Glenn and Karen Bell who live in the Del Webb Arbors retirement community in North Carolina. Jojo is a rescue and her human parents glassed in the porch so she can admire the gardens year-round. 

Her other favorite activity includes her daily supervised garden walk with her human dad to admire the visitors of the pocket pollinator garden designed by @gardenthoughtfully, Heather Andrews. 

Heather Andrews of The Thoughtful Gardener sent these fun pics.
