Training Harley to stay off the kitchen table is taking a little longer than anticipated 🙀. However, he is always up for a little birdwatching 😹.

#rescuecat #ragdollcat #bicolorragdoll #CatsofBlueSky #cats #WhiskersWednesday

More about Harley’s journey in the alt text.
Harley is a bi-color Ragdoll cat who is a non standard color. He was rescued from an overcrowded ragdoll breeder who was trying to fix a black/white bi-color coat which is a non-standard Ragdoll Color. The breeder had gotten older to the point she couldn’t take care of the cats and they were overcrowded and not in great shape. A cat rescue organization worked for months to coax the older breeder to let them take some of the cats and find them a home. Harley is as one of the stud cats and they removed him first and then neutered and fed him and got him healthy again. They wanted to place him with an experienced ragdoll owner. I drove 5 hours to pick him up and he has been nothing but joy. Here he is, a black and white ragdoll cat loaf on the kitchen table!

Live oaks with Spanish moss drifting in the breeze. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens-Charleston. Take a walk with me down to the Ashley River. These oaks are centuries old with the land grant of 400 acres of land dating back to the 1600s.

Another dahlia image from the garden. Dahlias are such show-offs!
They always seem to preen and pose, waiting to have their picture made.
