A Tsar is Born

This gorgeous Maine Coon was submitted by Dancing Oaks Nursery in Monmouth, OR.

"Vladamir is the oldest male and he is also the most well-adjusted cat we have. He is very congenial walking up to customers and not too afraid of many things. His favorite pad is a little pocket of shade cloth in one of the greenhouses that creates a snug hammock over the top of the door. He can be lifeless there, so lots of people ask if he is alive! He is a great cuddler and likes to watch movies. He can be quite a gregarious clown and on garden tours and steal the show from the plants we are talking about."

We'll be sharing more Dancing Oaks Nursery cats in coming weeks, so be sure to check back here every Saturday/Caturday for our latest post.

Cruise Control

Rindy O'Brien of Washington, DC, shared this cat photo. She said, "He is a regular in the Green Seed Garden on Capitol Hill — loved cruising around the manicured pathways and sunning himself in the community gathering area outside the vegetable fence."

The Very Curious Kitten

I stumbled upon this garden cat statue in a neighbor's yard in Takoma Park, MD, while out running errands. I just adore the expression on this very curious kitten and find it very life-like. What do you think?

We Three...

My cousin, Jessica Eikenberry Paullus, took these photos in Indiana of three barn cats playing at a farm. They are approximately four-months-old and are full of vim and vigor.

Frankie Baby

Frankie belongs to Thornton W. Burnet Jr. of the landscaping firm CONCEPTS & CONTOURS INC.. They live in Arlington, VA. She is 14 years old and is still full of vim and vigor. Here she is waiting out an early autumn rain under the back porch.
