Sorry we're late for #caturday. Here's Toby & Tristan staring at me while I drink my coffee. They know that when I stand up & take my mug to the sink, that's when I fill their dishes. So, I always have an audience. (Toby in front, Tristan behind.)

Happy #Caturday from Tristan, who thinks the laundry room floor is the purrfect place to lay.

Mom, you're cleaning your room? You're organizing stuff into bins & piles on the bed? We'll help!

Happy #Caturday to you & all your little helpers from Toby & Tristan.

For #Caturday, here are my parents' cats, Ada & Cow. They weren't so sure about each other at 1st, but 10 years later, they're inseparable.

Mom, why did you bring these outside things inside? They don't belong here. I'll swat them until they go away.

I thought that was Pam Bondi at first. Did they clone her? One Pam Bondi is already too many. We don't need another.

My daughter wanted to share this picture of her Uncle's cat, Hobbes, for #caturday. He is a very cuddly fluffball & he's very patient with little visiting nieces. She & my brother added a very stately Ai hat to this photo.

Every time I wash our bedding, this guy excitedly comes up to lay on the bare mattress. Usually, I don't even get the fitted sheet fully off before he's up on the bed staking out his spot. I don't understand it, but, man, he looks happy.

Happy #Caturday

This is my Dad's cat, Cow. For 12 years, Dad has been fighting a battle to keep Cow off the dining room table...& for 12 years, he's been losing that battle.

Wow. Smudge looks an awful lot like my Dad's cat, Cow. (Cow looks angry in this photo, but he's really very sweet.)

#Caturday

Five years ago, we took our daughter to the shelter to pick out A cat. We ended up adopting this pair of brothers, bc they were a bonded pair & the shelter lady did not want them separated. I'm so glad she talked us into it, bc they're both wonderful & they're so happy together.

This is Toby. Toby is very sweet, but he is also a sentinel. He's never far from our kids...guarding, keeping watch. (Well, unless it's time to eat. Even guard cats need food.) 😻😺😸

Cat break

This is Tristan. He's a good boy. His hobbies include purring, sleeping on laps, & turning guests who don't like cats into cat people.

Thanks for pointing that out. Very true. On that note:
