Someone Forgot to Water the Cat?

Another potted cat!

Head of Lettuce

This guardian of this lettuce is owned by Anna Ristsatama in Hamina, Finland. Her name is Anastasta. She is one year and two months old. Here is one of her earlier gardening attempts:

 Gardening runs in this cat family. Pictured below with a grey/ white bobtailed boy called Pekka, who is two weeks older than Miss A and loves to lounge in the ferns. There are also two other cats in the household, Renne (the Reindeer), Pekka's brother, that has no tail at all, and Mikki, Anastasia's brother.

Meadowbrook Looker

Spotted this pretty kitty statue at Meadowbrook Farm last weekend. Meadowbrook is now owned and operated by the Pennsylvania Hort Society, but used to be the private estate of J. Liddon Pennock, Jr. You can tell that he was not only a plant nerd, but a dedicated animal lover. I hardily recommend that you stop by for a tour of the grounds and to shop at the PHS nursery whenever you are in the Philadelphia, PA area.

Sun Worshipper

 Magnus Fahlén and his wife, +Tuula Pennanen, live in Fellinsbro, Sweden with 7 cats. I came across their cat photos in the Caturday community on Google+.

Probably the kindest, most clever and life loving cat I've ever met ... ^^
He have spread his love to life and positive attitude by us for over 8 years now ... ^^
 There are not words enough for our Shakir.

2 weeks after he was born, he got one eye in Uveitis (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druvhinneinflammation).

No treatment helped, so when he was 3 week old ached the hole in the eye and I do not include how a 3 week kitten can survive such a pain.

He was probably very near death with the fever and pain he had.

However, he survived and when the body after a time come away remnants of the eye so he recovered quickly.

I guess our care and relief of the pain made him an extremely affectionate and positive kitty with an enormous patience, etc.

Even today after 8 years he radiates positivity and joy of life and as soon as one comes close he so he purrs and smiles with the whole face ...:-)

We chose not to sew again eye socket which the vet thought was good then this is a difficult operation and results rarely becomes completely good.

On the other hand, we must help to clean around his eye socket with lukewarm water daily in principle, because it is always collected some dirt in the coat there.

We have done this since he was so small that he was held in my hand and then it was "eye" in principle, a varklump. ...

He has 3 siblings, and none of them has a chance to match him in terms of speed, intelligence, agility, and hearing. His good hearing is a bit extra as compensation for the lost eye and when they are playing and someone tries to sneak up on him, they are always detected before they can surprise him ... = D

He is a real gold Kitty simply ...:-)"

A Cat in Monet's Garden at Giverny

Flickr user
snap713 shared this photo. She said it is from a collection of postcards published by Pomegranate. The back of the card reads:

"Pink cosmos and golden sunflowers tower above Fifi, the calico cat who resides in Monet's garden, as she strolls down a gravel path in the silver mist of dawn. Photograph by Elizabeth Murray c 1990."

Princess Grace Kitty

Bren Haas of BGgarden.com and GardenChat fame submitted her Princess Grace Kitty. She wrote, "This sweet little rescue kitty lives in the BGgarden in Ohio. We brought her pregnant mama cat home from a not-so-happy home with fear she would be killed. The sweet little fluffy kitty gave birth to 5 kittens and ran away shortly after.  Grace was one of the kittens my family decided to keep. Long-haired cats are not usually the choice for an outdoor cat, but this kitty grooms herself constantly while sitting in the rose garden. She is for sure the Princess in our garden and I do believe she knows it! Stop by and see all the catnip growing in our Ohio garden.  We have six outdoor cats who are loving their spoiled life in the garden."

Here also is a video of the Princess Grace Rose Garden:

Pass the Peas

This cute cat is named Maceo (may-see-oh) and his owner posted about this garden "helper" recently on Cute Overload.

Note the plant label on the bottom photo is "Catnip." Not all cats have a reaction to it, but Maceo obviously does!

BTW If you don't get the headline connection, Maceo Parker is a famous jazz and funk musician. One of his best known songs is "Pass the Peas." Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJmIN8RNBUg and don't hesitate to see Maceo Parker live if you ever get the chance!
