Bud moves like a leopard. He's very elongated.

With a lot of Alpha Cat Type. I knew he would be trouble for someone, if he got adopted at all.

But in our place, he's better understood. So, not as much trouble.

NEW POST! Being Cared for feels wonderful, no matter who does it. - Hearts at Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/being-cared

Another cat will never miss heartfelt gestures of love. But we, as people, sometimes do.

Literal closeness cannot be denied.

Against a background of a flowerly mountain meadow, with a lovely golden sunrise coming up in a blue sky with layers of clouds, seen across a distant range, there's a tabby teen cat with his ears on a relaxed slope down his head, eyes mostly closed, his elbow snuggled against the head of another cat a dark brown tabby cat head, from the back, showing the closeness of the two cats illustrating Being Cared for.

It is an overcast day after a snowfall, as seen in tire ruts in a snow covered road not yet plowed, glimpsed between the trunks of a grove of five trees, one twice or three times as thick as the others. They cluster together near the edge of the road, the dark evergreen leaves with shadows. Beyond is a field with leafless trees, barely outlined against the fluffy snow, highlighting the confusion of branches that have been dusted.

Bud Abbott in the midst of being up to something.

He got more than his share of mischief. I figure he got in line twice.

Under the eaves, curved tail almost touching a slanting cream painted wall, a long, gray tabby cat is standing on a flat green chair cushion placed on top. His smooth-furred back is curved as he gets ready to spring down, front paw leading the others and an alert expression. Behind and to the side is a gray box, with the edge of the cushion scattered with green, pink, and purple cat toys.

In A Purrfect World - Episode 7 - Super Senses

They are like superheroes.

The text says "In a Purrfect World" and the tropical background of palm leaves and tranquil lagoon features a brown tabby cat sleeping on their stomach on a white, furry cat tree shelf.

Trying to get all of Bud's whiskers in the frame. He must have been working on his Selfie Face.

The front of the frame the clear gray tabby fur on his head in sunshine, yet shows warm and caramel with the desk lamp influence on his fur.

A cat with a dark gray M on his head and other clear tabby markings on his face, which is relaxed with almost closed eyes. He has white on the front of his face, which encloses his chin and some very long, white whiskers that fill the width of the frame. The rest of his fur, including visible front paw, chest, and shoulder, are all caramel looking, from an indoor desk light. His front half rests on someone's torso, who is wearing a purple shirt, while the cream painted eave of a wall behind them is the background, with a barely glimpsed access hatch in the wall.

Bud and Lou were an unexpected gift for our home. Rescue opportunities can appear at random.

They don’t understand cats. Then, refuse to believe that is the actual problem.

Looking for hidden presents? Bud Abbott loves to help.

He is a Long Fellow.

Under the eaves of a cream painted wall, a long, gray tabby cat has stood on the top of one bookcase to peer over the top of another. His head is able to fit between the slanted wall and the top of the taller bookcase, but can go no further because of the small space left that will not accommodate his muscular body with extravagant belly apron. He stands poised on a green cushion, scattered with green, pink, and purple cat toys. His striped tail is curled upwards and brushing the slanted wall behind him, with his front paws on the top of the bookcase he cannot get to.

Sleep language is how we interpret this behavior. - Care at Way of Cats wayofcats.com/blog/sleep-langu

It’s an important ability, since cats spend two thirds of their lives asleep.

More or less.

The surface of a bed with a faint gold pattern is bisected by the length of a gray tabby teen cat sleeping like a leaping gazelle, filtered with saturated light.

Happy Festivus!

Rhiannon is ready for the Feats of Strength.

A small dilute tortoiseshell cat is lying on her back, against a pale blue daybed with a quilted light blue cover. Her front paws are up, almost as though she's getting ready to arm wrestle, while her belly is covered with a plump little darf red pillow with fringe. While her alert face, with big round gold eyes, is eager to play, with one rear foot appearing near the bottom of the red pillow, and the frame.

What creates these unique cat faces? It's complicated.

A closeup of the face and chest of a dilute tortoiseshell cat, who has shades of gray fur, with orange and cream patches on fur in much more profusion and size on the right side of her, and not the left, with a clean line of difference visible down her face, with her chin half and half in the center to accent the pattern, illustrating The Split-face Tortoiseshell Cat.

Bud in a festive mood.

Against the festive background of candy canes and tree trimmings, with blue wrapping paper and tissue paper and half of a beautiful glass tree ornament, there nestles a gray tabby with an angular face with green eyes, extravagant, long, white, whiskers. He has a discerning gaze, as though he is absorbing the joy of the season directly through his outstretched front paws.
