Princess in the Tower

Last week, Roberta Dehman Hershon of Blue Plate Communications, Inc. (www.blueplate.com) in Dedham, MA, shared her 4 gorgeous cats. This week, she is sharing those of her gardening friend, Michele Topor. 

Roberta writes,"This is Belina (about 3.5 years old). She was a homeless mom living outside of a suburban MA high school. She was clinging to the smokestacks for warmth. Students in my friend Amy’s culinary class rescued her - with scrod as bait. Amy gave her to me, and I gave her to Michele. Belina now lives in Boston’s N. End where she can look outside at her owner’s magnificent roof top garden or lounge in her own paradise during the winter when the plants come indoors. Here she is lounging between the Bay and Rosemary plants. She has graduated from dumpster diving to dining on fresh scallops and an endless buffet of cat approved delicacies."

Roberta added: "Meet 6 year old Murray who spent 3.5  years living in a FL parking lot before I rescued him and flew back to MA with him. He doesn’t sit still long enough for me to capture him in the garden. He’s enjoying his daily catnip fix in the driveway."

"Here he is wondering why a Kaffir Lime plant is blocking his favorite porch seat."
