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.

Lady Aberconway's Cat

This striking image is by CECIL BEATON (1904-1980) of Lady Aberconway's cat, Antonia, Bodnant, 1950. It was up for auction at Christies a few years ago.

And here is about about the lady herself -- a rather fascinating women, she was friends with many famous people of her time including Hugh Walpole, Clive Bell, Virginia Woolf, and King George.

The Shadow of the Lynx

Heather Andrews of The Thoughtful Gardener shared this lovely photo.

She wrote, "Lynx is one of four supervisors in the Thoughtful Garden of his Mom, Heather Andrews.

"He loves to lay on the warm stones in the afternoon, or cool ones during the heat of the day and watch over his Mom as she creates content for her Youtube channel, Garden Thoughtfully. 

"He and his sisters are famous for 'walking' their human around the garden multiple times a day, to oversee all 'their' work."

Heather previously shared with us in two posts in September 2021 here and here.

Presidential Cats, part 3 - Blackie & Tiger

Photograph shows Blackie and Tiger, two of the cats owned by President Calvin Coolidge.
I wish we knew more about these kittens!

I stumbled across this photo in the Library of Congress collection here: https://loc.gov/resource/npcc.09707/.

It is interesting that many of the White House cats are black!
