He Pities the Fool


In response to last week’s submission by Lou J. Nichols, the appropriately named Rosemary Gardin posted, “If you think you're leaving me out, y'all better think again! I'm Mr T, Canadian bud of Phil.” And so here he is, Mr. T in all his garden cat glory.

“This is Phil cat. He has a very big personality and even a few fans J. Sometimes referred to as cat pest, murder kitty, or shout-y Cat, he often features on my Twitter and Instagram, and yes, he's not adverse to fame!”
   “I know I'm biased, but he's kinda special He moved in with me in 2011 at a time that I was very low, he was living feral, but had been someone's pet at some point previously. Possibly, the previous tenants at the flat I was living in, no one knew for sure. Anyway, Phil and I have literally traveled the country together. We have moved house 6 or maybe 7 times. We've gone to my dad's for holidays, which is about 500 miles away, and all of this he has taken in his stride.”
   “He is possibly the happiest, most chilled cat ever. If I'm upset, he chases his tail to make me laugh, he stalks me if he's got the devil in him and swipes me with velvet paws. He's never scratched me and meant it only ever by mistake.... he is also a formidable hunter!”
   “I think he's around 9-ish, but he brings home rabbits rats and mice like a pro! The mice he eats straight off, which I think is a throwback to when he had to fend for himself. Unlike most pet cats, he never plays with them ... which I'm very thankful for He is an excellent judge of character and I'll often watch his reaction to people to suss them out. His full name is Phil Macavity, which often raises eyebrows.”

House and Garden Tour Time


It is house and garden tour time in the Mid-Atlantic USA. Here are a few garden cat and cat garden art sightings from tours so far this year. Also, sharing a few from previous years' tours. I highly recommend going to as many garden tours in your own region as you can to learn about what grows best in your are!
