2023 Fat Cat Art Calendar

So excited to get this in the mail,

Artist Svetlana Petrova has the incredible talent to improve artwork with her beautiful, photogenic cats Celestial Zarathustra, Tyger, and David Bowie. 
Tyger, in the vase, as Celestial Zarathustra watches.

David Bowie as pussy willow fluffs!

Zarathustra in a Paul Gauguin's 1892 "When Will You Marry?"

Look!
Celestial Zarathustra was playing in Vincent van Gogh's 1888 "Artist's Chair"...

...and I was standing in front of the unimproved version just a few days ago at the "Van Gogh in America" exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts!

To order your own, or other wonderful artwork:

Luna Negra

So very thankful for fosters, and those willing to help.

Let me introduce Luna Negra, who appeared on a friend's front porch recently.

She was hungry, covered with matted fur, plus various ride-along insects.

Luna is about two years old, was spayed when found, is playful and warms up to humans in a trice.

She's a lap cat.

Luna will probably be happier as an only cat, and perhaps without small children around.

Her fur is the softest fluff you've ever touched.

Luna's foster is in Metro Detroit, Michigan, and some transportation can be negotiated.

What a cute wee princess; look at those whiskers and pretty eyes.

Please share this post; one never knows.💖

Clumpy

It's Sweetnesday!

Our outside-now-inside kitty isn't grooming as she once did.

She has fur clumps all over her flanks.
One or twice a day I break out the comb to gently work at them; it's her undercoat fur, and it is surprisingly light in color.

Sweetie allows about five minutes for these ministrations, before those murder mitts give the signal that she's had enough.

No doubt, she's feeling stiff and not as bendy as she once was, so her ablutions are at a minimum.

Am not asking for advice; she's an old cat, and pilling her with pain meds causes more stress than leaving her be, and mixing something into her food hasn't been successful either.

She has her heated spa bed, and she enjoys laying on the hardwood floor in the spare bedroom, next to the heat vent.

Have put a soft towel down, and a plush beddy, but she only wants the floor.

As you wish, Queen Sweetie.

I don't like it, it's not about me, is it?

Can't Help It!

It's Twozday!

I make no apologies; sorry not sorry!

Manny and Chili Bruce sleeping in formation will always draw my camera.

Get your fill of them being cute, as they while away their time as the humans are stuck inside due to the frigid and wintry conditions.

2) Rear to rear
3) Tummy to tummy
4) Separate but matching

Mealtime

It's PO'Monday!

Images from Catmas meals for our 'O' Cats,
starring Celestial Paddy O'Malley, Celestial Sammy, and Now-Inside-Only Queen Sweetie the First.
During this incredible frigid weather, we currently have no cats to administer to outside.

But I'll always feel the delight in being with these lovely cats, even when the weather was less than hospitable.

Meowy Catmas!

While those in the Northern Hemisphere are hunkered down, avoiding the cold and snow, 
we at Eastside Cats wish all a joyous season, and hopes for a wonderful 2023.

For your Caturday entertainment:

Manny!

He was on top of the refrigerator, and chose to pose for me, with a bit of a glare.

Catch Up

I've gotten most of my 'hengey' hilarity out of my system.

Well, for now.

However, our posts have been cat-light, so here are hot-off-the-press photos.

Seriously, they are just too adorable!
Pondering Queen Sweet the First, is pondering.
After rain, we had wind, snow, and very cold temps.

Hoping you all out there in blogland are safety tucked up!

Now it's Winter!

Let's celebrate Winter, by using the three main food groups:

Meat Henge or Porterhouse Steak Henge
Potato Henge or Chip Henge
Beer Henge
😹😹😹
Am thankful that there are others out there, with the same sense of humor as my own, making Stonehenge replicas out of whatever is on hand!

P.S. The Hubby and I are vegan (plant-based), although our three carnivores get only canned cat food; the best that we can buy AND that they'll eat.

Winter solstice 2022 in Northern Hemisphere was yesterday.

Many ancient henge sites are mysteriously aligned with the sun on the winter solstice, such as Stonehenge, UK and Newgrange, Ireland.

Yule

As a religious holiday, the winter solstice is also known as Yule, and celebration
of this day predates Christianity. 

While Druids, Romans, and Norsemen all celebrated the sacred nature of the solstice centuries ago, many modern Pagans and Wiccans consider
this an important religious holiday.  

A yule greeting to you all:

"The light is reborn this winter solstice, may your heart lift with the joy of new beginnings and nature's blessings."

Kitten Therapy

16 years ago, Celestial Angel was a kitten, and she was a real cutie.
We called her our 'cow-colored' kitty.

The Hubby and I considered 'cow' names for her, like Elsie or Betsy.

But cats tend to pick their own names, and Angel was purrfect for her.

Except for the time at the vet's office, when there were three Angels waiting in the lobby:
Angel the cat
Angel the bunny rabbit
Angel the dog
⭐🌟⭐

May you have a warm and joyous Festival of Light.
