Cat Saturday # 40 - Lucky Cats
Please forward Cat Saturday to any cat lovers. Post links etc. I maybe crazy for cats but I'm not crazy. It's a lot of work putting Cat Saturday together: designing, graphics, photography etc. It's a labor of love, but unless the stats improve, I may remove it. My blog entries on other days far outrank it. I am open to suggestions and thank you for your support. I choose to remain ad-free.

Real quotes from real cats
I came across this mysterious tortie sitting on her front porch in a town nearby. She didn't budge even when I moved in for her close-up. Of all the possible basket choices, she choose to wedge herself inside the smallest one. Go figure.
Our Cat of the Week is Lucky, a part Siamese tabby from Arizona who is lucky to have a next door neighbor like Karen.
It's not unusual for cats to adopt other people even when they have a home. Siamese cats often need extra attention and affection. If they aren't getting it at home, they will turn to more resourceful methods. This is what Karen had to say about Lucky: "Lucky is not actually our cat, although I think he thinks our yard and our house is his. He actually lives next door in a house that always has at least 6 cats, 2 dogs and various reptiles, and 4 boys who are teenagers. I don't have any idea how old he is. I am pretty sure he was a shelter cat since the mother of the family next door volunteers in a cat shelter.
Lucky has been hanging around our backyard for at least 3 or 4 years. He loves my husband because he is really great at petting cats. Lucky will wait at our back door for hours, waiting for it to open. He follows us around the yard whenever we go outside and does his best to try to sneak into our house when we go back inside.
We always had our own cats until 3 or 4 years ago when our last cat died at age 18. We miss having a cat in the house, so we actually enjoy the neighbor's cats when they come and visit us in our yard.
Lucky does not mind when I follow him around with the camera. I guess you could say he has adopted us as his second family. As far as his traits, he is loyal, demands attention, loves to roll in the grass and lick drips of water from the garden hose."
Speaking of lucky cats, my Merlin is missing the sun. The record rainfall continues.
Merlin and Coco scramble for a few rays any chance they get. Meanwhile, feral kitty Domino has found a new (dry ) spot outdoors.
Cat Art of the week
Lucky cats are popular in Japan and China. These are a few of my feng shui lucky cats. Maybe they'll bring sunny weather.

Thanks y'all for the feedback. I will probably switch to posting every second Saturday, at least during the summer.

Such cute ones. I thought I had already commented on Cat Saturday, but now I realize I had not.
that is one gorgeous tortie.
Merlin is so much like Mao, we have the same pose of Mao.
Coco and Merlin and queen and king.
That Lucky! and that video - precious! and Lucky!
Now for some caffeine, and back to reading my books. And a nap. Nearly recovered from Phase I and Phase II of moving, Phase III will take the rest of the summer.
