Zaz is on hummingbird watch this morning, hoping to be the first to spot one this year. I know she'll let us know if she sees one. So far all she sees is magnolia flowers and Steven walking to the workshop.

Happy #Caturday to all who celebrate!

Zaz agrees with me even more than I do*, that today should be an excellent #WhiskersWednesday!

So that's what we wish for you all today, friends.

We're here with filled hummingbird feeders just waiting for the first visitors. It can't be long now, they've already been spotted 5km down the road.

Have a good one!

Surprise!

"I was just checking what we need in the way of teas. What do you mean 'get out of there!?' That's not a nice way to speak to someone who's just trying to help you."

Nevermind. Carry on. I never turn down an offer of help.

Have a good #Caturday everyone!

Bonus shoulder cat post for your special entertainment today!

Badger (aka Bidgie etc) is pretty keen to let you know that she was my first shoulder cat and we mustn't forget it.

From Badger and me, an extra happy Caturday, friends!

Zaz knows she's safe on mum's shoulder.

She was asleep until I reminded her that we need to wish everyone (who celebrates) a happy Caturday! I hope you all have as good a day as you can and even as good as you could wish.

#EllieKPosts #ZazTheCat #CornishRexCats #Caturday #catsOfMastodon #TabbyCat

Will someone please wake Zaz up and tell her it's Caturday? What a lazy cat...sleeping in the sun. (Not today's sun, sadly as it's a 'wintry mix' of snow, sleet and (freezing) rain today.)

On second thoughts, don't wake her. I wish I could curl up beside her!

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate.

#EllieKPosts #catsOfMastodon #Zaz #ZazTheCat #caturday #CornishRexCats

And then there's that foot that won't behave either. And we think they lead such carefree lives.

#EllieKPosts #catsOfMastodon #Zaz #ZazTheCat #caturday #CornishRexCats

Zaz was getting herself all spruced up for Caturday, but having some issues with a tail that was obviously giving her some trouble. I think she got it under control eventually.
And then there's that filthy foot (see the first comment).
Have as good a day as you can, everyone.

#EllieKPosts #catsOfMastodon #Zaz #ZazTheCat #caturday #CornishRexCats

Zaz has impeccable taste in music, as you can see.
What could be better on a sunny Saturday morning than sitting on a windowsill with a full tummy, soaking up the rays and the notes? It helps to calm the stress of wondering when your next meal might arrive.

We all wish you a bright day full of what you love best!

Zaz: "What?"

I happened to peer into the cozy sleeping cubby area of Zaz's cat tower to see what she was up to. There is a heated pad in it that I try to stop her from sleeping directly on by wrapping it in various blankets, but she always burrows into it somehow. This time I was sure I had it fixed, by putting it into an old sweater, with just a tiny neck hole buried underneath.

And there she was, as if tucked into a warm bed, her head sticking up from the neck, just woken up, as cozy as can be.

Happy #Caturday all! I hope you all have a good one.

Zaz's favourite Caturday occupation is lying in the sun listening to great music on the turntable. She loves the golden oldies enjoyed by the golden oldies in the house!

We all wish you as relaxing or as fun a day as you can have!

If you don't know the albums you see and are curious, the info is in the alt text.

Happy #caturday all!

Who's coming down the stairs?

Zaz likes to make sure of all the goings-on anywhere in the house, specially when it involves the others.

It's Caturday! So there could be anything going on!

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate.

The best place to be on a grey cold day is in front of a warm fire.

As you can plainly see, the fluffy mat is only just big enough for one cat. Ping (Pangolin) is relegated to enjoying the floor that's warmed by the wood stove.

Zaz is obviously thinking that whatever I decided was important enough to disturb her rest had better be good.

It is, Zaz. It's Caturday! Your favourite.

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate.

Battle of wills.

Zaz is so cross! She really didn't want her picture taken and did her best to make it almost impossible. She pretty much fought tooth and claw to make it hard to get this photo. She had just been fighting with a tail that didn't want to be bitten and legs that refused to be cleaned and then I came along with my phone and caught her out of sorts. She was going to make me pay and so it took about 15 photos to get this, finally! (Happily I got off mostly unscathed, don't worry.)

Have a happy (and hopefully peaceful) #caturday all!

Sometimes I simply can't believe the incredible privilege it is for us to live with such wonderful creatures as our cats and Joni. I look at their characters, their physical beauty and their natural grace, and I feel the gentle affection and kindness they give us so freely.
Whatever did we do to deserve animals?

They know what they want, too. Badger explained to me that she needs to eat each of her meals in front of the wood stove in the winter. Why not?

#EllieKPosts #Badger #CornishRexCats #cats #animals #catsOfMastodon

Zaz wants to wish a happy #Caturday to all! She's been busy housekeeping, it would appear, as she's thrown most of her blanket out of her bed. She's such a helpful, busy girl.
I hope everyone's day is peaceful and warm.

🧵 1/3
(Also see poll at the end of the thread)
So I'm trying to recover from an infection, just sitting quietly by the fire with Zaz sleeping on my knee when the thought of #WhiskersWednesday passed through my brain (surely I didn't say it out loud) when this happened.

(Follow her immediate - and predictable - reactions in the comments in the thread)

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate!

Zaz is determined to lift my spirits and entertain me.

She's doing a good job. Who wouldn't feel better watching her have fun?
And did you catch that flash of toe beans? Such a coy madame. (And of course the whiskers...)

Have a good day, all. Hugs to those who need them.

#Caturday #catsOfMastodon #ZazTheCornishRex #CornishRexCats #EllieKPosts #Zaz

Okay, Zaz is beginning to be annoyed with me now.

Zaz: "Is it #WhiskersWednesday or isn't it? What's wrong with my whiskers? Aren't they good enough for your catty friends on Mastodon? Well....?"

Me: "I know what side my bread's buttered (margerined) on. Here you go.
The lovely Zaz. And her excellent whiskers. Don't let me down, my "catty" friends!"

For #tongueOutTuesday and #TabbyTuesday I present to you:
Zaz
She's enjoying the sun on her back on her favourite human's chair while he's somewhere else. The sun shows off her lovely flame bits in her curly coat, too. I think she knows that, don't you?

Enjoy whatever moments of sunshine and joy that you find, friends.

Ping Pong says Zaz has it all wrong: people want to see a bit of dignity...
Very disapproving of all those antics.

And besides, she likes being on Mastodon.
So do I, Ping, so do I.

I have a feeling that Zaz is a bit fed up with Ping Pong getting all the attention for the past couple of weeks, so she's showing off her athletic prowess.

I think she's hoping to bring a smile to anyone who needs one right now.

Have a happy #Caturday everyone! If you don't celebrate, have a great day!

They were just sitting looking at each other.

A little #Caturday story about Ping.

Picture this:

Two or three days a week, I have a video chat of about an hour with my father-in-law 3000 miles away in England, who is soon 95, unable to move from his chair or wheelchair without assistance and with no friends or relatives to speak to. His only real contact is us, and his carers who come in four times a day to look after his needs. Sometimes I arrange his grocery shopping for him, sometimes I order him other things he needs, but mostly we just sit and talk and he reminisces. He struggles a little with the technology, but somehow we manage.

When it's my days to talk to him, I sit on a sofa with my tea and it's become a habit for Ping Pong to sit on my lap while I chat and stroke her. When I finish talking, she goes off. On the days when I don't speak to him, and Steven has taken the call somewhere else, she'll come meowing and meowing after me to get me to go and sit there with her. In the end, usually I have to give in, and take my tea and we sit on the sofa together. She doesn't often ask for cuddles, so this is a special time for her.

On Thursday this week, I was talking to my father-in-law when I realized that my bed cover that I had washed was ready to be hung up to dry in front of the fire, to be put back on the bed that night. As this was rather urgent, I asked him to wait and said I'd be right back after I'd hung the cover up. I lifted Ping up and went and got that sorted. After a few minutes when I came back, I was met with the scene of Ping, sitting upright, very proper, in my place on the sofa, just as you see her in this photo unblinking, looking at the phone screen at my father-in-law who was looking back at her. Neither was saying a word. They were just looking at each other. The two of them looked so funny.

It was as if she felt she was taking over from me. My father-in-law said "she's been looking after me". And that's just what it seemed like. She wouldn't move on her own to give me my place, so I had to lift her aside so I could sit down. My father-in-law is not a cat person, so obviously he didn't know what to say to her. And she didn't feel the need to say anything either.

Cats. Who can fathom them?

Have a happy Caturday, everyone! If you don't celebrate, have a great day!
