As posted previously, here's Freya patiently waiting for Zyngi to vacate a box and, victorious, occupying the box herself!

#cats #CatsAndBoxes
An orange cat curled up in a box and a black cat sitting next to him, waiting to get in. The black cat is sitting with her feet together and her tail behind her to the left of the picture. She is looking into the camera. The ginger cat is to her left, in a cardboard box with the top tucked in. He is curled up and is looking towards the viewer's right. In front there is a cream tile floor. Behind, wood cabinets. Both cats have "red eye" from the flash. Black cat sitting in a cardboard box. Her tail is wrapped around her feet and she is looking down. In the foreground is a cream tile floor. In the background are dark wood cabinets.

You are a tortie! My sisfur Tilia is also a tortoiseshell but you can barely tell, except when she's shaved (we shave her because she mats and doesn't like being combed)
Tortoiseshell cat in green armchair. She is on the left side of the chair, leaning on the arm. Her front paws are on the arm of the chair. Her body and face are turned towards the viewer. Her eyes are half-closed for the flash. There is a blue pad underneath her. A fragment of red wall is seen in the background.

Orange cat curled up in a basket, napping. The cat is all orange and is curled up in an almost perfect circle, with his rear feet by his head at one o'clock. His eyes are closed. The basket is round, is made of straw and has knobs all over it. A couple of plastic bags ( a blue one and a brown one) are peeking out from under the cat on the left of the photo.

From the garden, Stapelia gigantea, whose flowers imitate carion and are pollinated by flies. Doesn't small too disgusting to me, but I don't have the nose of a fly.
Large five-pointed star-shaped flower with the bottom two petals lying relatively flat and the others curved back. The flower is a warm beige with concentric red linear markings throughout. The edges of the petals are decorated with abundant long reddish hairs. The center is white, surrounded with dark brown sexual parts. Green leafless stems are visible behind the flower. Succulent flowering plant in a 4" green plastic pot. The stems are columnar, four-sided and leafless. There are two flowers, one barely visible in the back, the other at the base of the plant, in front. The flower is a warm beige with concentric linear red markings and a dark center. The edges of the petals are decorated with hairs.

This is Charlotte in a cat's favorite place. Charlotte is a former street cat now living in the lap of luxury. She has no teeth and limps because of a poorly healed fracture of her right forepaw, but she bosses everyone around with her take-no-nonsense personality
A small completely black cat with yellow eyes half-lying in an Amazon brown cardboard box. She is facing the camera. She is raised on her forelegs. Her back legs and tail are to her left (viever's right).

It's #WhiskerWednesday
Here's a photo of Ody showing off his whiskers, though looking very sad in a doughnut he has to wear because he licked himself a wound on his leg. (We had to change it to a cone but the leg is healing nicely)
A tabby cat with a white muzzle wearing a doughnut colored to resemble a watermelon. He is silling on a red chair covered with a blue pad. The back of the chair is visible behind him.

Here's a lovely poem written by someone missing their cat.
A poem written by Michael Joseph in memory of his cat. The text is below. TO A SIAMESE CAT (June 1930 - December 1942) I shall walk in the sun alone Whose golden light you loved: I shall sleep alone And, stirring, touch an empty place: I shall write uninterrupted (Would that your gentle paw Could stay my moving pen just once again!). I shall see beauty But none to match your living grace: I shall hear music But not so sweet as the droning song With which you loved me. I shall fill my days But I shall not, cannot forget: Sleep soft, dear friend, For while I live you shall not die.

It’s raining here, too, and there is thunder and lightning! Ford and Hebe are hanging out on the couch with humans, cozy.
Two cats are stretched on a couch facing each other. The cat on the left is cream and white, the other is black. To the right of them are a human’s legs, wearing purple pants and red shoes. To the left is a rangefinder camera with a flash. In the background is a book and another human’s elbow

Will have to try that. Reminds me of a photo I saw somewhere and saved. Here it is.
Two part image. The top part shows a wall of boxes piled up five -high. The bottom part shows a white cat with some tabby markings lying on a table. His front legs (the only ones we see) are splayed wide open. His eyes are round and his mouth is open in astonishment. The all-caps lettering above his head says "DISNEYLAND!!!!!"

Cats love boxes, so when I got a large box in the mail today, I saved it for them. Our 5-year-old niece decided she had to make the cats a proper house, so she got her dad to seal the box up and cut a door. They loved it and all took turns sitting inside! The photo shows Tilia checking it out.
A large squarish cardboard box with an arched door cut in one side, and covered with stickers. Behind is a wheeled metal cart with more cardboard boxes. The box is sitting on a cream tile floor. A shaved tortoiseshell cat standing in front of a large squarish cardboard box. The front of the box is covered with stickers. To the left is a wheeled metal cart with more cardboard boxes. Behind is the bottom part of a wooden table and chairs. The cat is standing with her side to the camera, her head on the left. Her tail casts a shadow on the cream tile floor.

Bean is adorable! And he has the same hole in his white sock that my fursib Samson has.

Charlotte with her long tongue out, grooming herself. Charlotte was a street cat until the man who fed her died. His name was Charlie and she's named after him. She was going to be our backyard cat but mommy didn't have the heart to keep her outside, so she now lives in the lap of luxury.
A black cat giving herself a bath, on a green bed with a white pattern. She is lying with her head to the right of the photo, her tail visible on the left. She is licking her left front leg with a very long pink tongue. Her eyes are green and look into the distance. Behind her is a glazed sliding door.

Tilia and Zyngi are both showing off their whiskers today. Tilia is shaved because she mats and won't let us comb the mats out.

#WhiskerWednesday #tortoiseshell #tortie #ginger
Two cats on a director's chair. The cat on the left, Tilia, is a tortoiseshell and her body is shaved. She is lying with her head towards the camera and her front paws are hanging off the front of the chair. She is looking down. The cat on the right, Zyngi, is a ginger, also lying with his front to the camera and his front paws hanging off the edge of the chair. He is nuzzling Tilia's head. The background of the photo is dark, fading to black on the edges.
