Moose, Bunny and Baby for Wild Wednesday

Happy wild Wednesday! Moose the cat loves to tour the garden with me. She doesn't seem to have any hunting instinct so the yard birds and bunnies are safe.

Moose is a geriatric cat, at 19-20 years of age. At one point she weighed 13 pounds but now she hovers around 6 pounds. Her abundant fur hides her extreme slimness but other than arthritis and random dementia related yowling she seems very healthy and happy.

This cute and wild yard bunny is enjoying a cool shady spot.

Inside, my little Baby cat (who turned 15 this year) relaxes in her special cat bed. Even though she looks much smaller than Moose the cat, Baby currently outweighs her. Moose just looks larger because of all her extra fur.

Moose is more photogenic but Baby is my favorite cat of all time. I think she's adorable even in a blurry picture. Few people ever get to see her outside of photos because she's feral born and tends to hide whenever we have company but she's devoted to me and I adore her.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you and those you love!

Moose the Cat Rocks a Sombrero

Welcome to the Halloween edition of wild Wednesday! I hope you enjoy these cute and funny photos of Moose the cat in a sombrero. She's nineteen years old and mostly likes sleeping but she knows if she lets me take photos of her she'll get treats so she plays along.

 I thought she had a good stare off face in this photo

Here she was looking up at our other cat but you can see the sombrero's colors best in this shot.

And here she was settling down for a little nap.

But before dozing off she stretched out one paw dramatically. I had a whole red background photo session area prepared but when the cat is willing I take photos wherever she is. These were on the floor in our living room. She was enjoying the sunbeam on the carpet before (and after) the photo shoot.

Keep an eye out because we have a viking warrior, cowgirl and more funny Halloween cat photo shots to come. Happy early Halloween! May God bless you and those you love!

Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Petunias Plus a Bee and a Cat

Happy floral Friday and welcome to "this week in my Maryland garden!"  I love this white, bronze and yellow dahlia and hope we can harvest a few more flowers before our first hard frost sets in.

 The purple dahlias are still going strong, to the bee's delight and mine.

The yellow-bronze chrysanthemums are nearing the end of their bloom time but hopefully we'll have some peach daisy-like chrysanthemum blooms soon.

Moose the cat escaped (we'd prefer that she were solely and indoor cat but she wants the best of both worlds) and took refuge under the rose bushes. Never fear, she's safely back inside now. How does this photo relate to floral Friday? You can see some lantana blooms in the far background.

The red petunias are particularly striking now that fall's here. I hope you enjoyed this mini tour of our Maryland garden! May God bless you!

Funny Easter Cat Photos & Happy Easter Wishes

Moose the cat as an Easter bunny

Happiest Easter wishes from me and my cats! May the love of Christ fill your hearts and warm your souls. I've been a bit under the weather so didn't do an Easter cat photo session this year but I thought you might enjoy these photos of my cats from Easter 2011 and hope these funny cat photos make you smile.

Funny St. Patrick's Day Photos of Moose the Cat

Happy St. Patrick's day from our home and cats to yours! Moose the cat's green eyes are perfect for St. Patrick's day photos. I hope you enjoy these funny cat pictures. I think she's hilarious. She knows she gets treats afterwards so she lets me put the costumes on her and then gobbles up her treats afterwards and acts like it's a normal day.

I had originally planned to make a cape for her out of this St. Patrick's day shamrock towel but ran out of time so just turned it into a makeshift St. Patrick's day cat dress.

This funky St. Patrick's day headband with green feathered pigtail-like antenna didn't photograph well but looked very funny in person. 

This close up shot of Moose the cat as a leprechaun makes me smile. I hope it does for you too. May God bless you this St. Patrick's day and always!
