Cat Lady No. 188...Sink or Swim

Cat Lady Dierdre always knows where to look for Tuxedo Tilda when it's nap time...the kitchen sink.

On the off chance that there are dishes soaking there, the secondary choice for napping would be the upstairs bathroom sink.

Apparently Tilda is not alone in her preferred spot for curling up...There is a website devoted to documentation of this phenomenon called--you guessed it--Cats in Sinks.

When you all smiles after clicking through the photos, you may upload photos of your own darling being adorable in the sink of your choice...

Thanks for visiting!

Cat Lady No. 118...When I'm 64

As the newest members of the
Society for the Preservation and Advancement of Waltzing with Cats, Cat Lady Janice and her calico cutie Ophelia spend a lot of time practicing their slow dance steps. But their first love is be-bopping to Beatles music.

Though she doesn't realize it, Janice has had a crush on Paul for almost half a century. Like all of the other girls, she thought he was the cutest Beatle, and never dreamed that he (or she) would actually grow old, even when singing along to the song "When I'm 64".

And although decades have seemingly whizzed by, Janice doesn't mind. She and Ophelia will continue to waltz, and be-bop, and dream of marrying Paul someday...as she imagines the cutest Beatle helping her to blow out 64 candles in just a few short weeks...

Cat Lady No. 97...Purr-forming Arts

Cat Lady Ilamae marvels at how Mr. Rumbles sounds just like a freight train full of gravel when he purrs.

He purrs loudest when he and Ilamae dance in three-four time, and recently Mr. Rumbles won a blue ribbon for the loudest purr at a recent meeting of the
Society for the Preservation and Advancement of Waltzing with Cats.

Domestic cats purr in a frequency of 25 to 150 vibrations per second, but there doesn't seem to be any consensus as to how or why cats purr.

Purrcast is a collection of soothing little podcasts that consist of the sound of cats purring. The website includes information on each feline purr-former.

Cat Lady No. 73...Bink's Waltz

Neurosurgeon Jamie Jo rescued this handsome white cat from a local animal shelter and named him Galahad. She thinks that whoever abandoned him should have their head examined...!

Jamie Jo and Galahad recently joined the Society for the Preservation and Advancement of Waltzing with Cats (SPAWSCats). Jamie Jo has always been a fan of the King Of Ragtime, Scott Joplin (1868 - 1917), black pianist and composer. But she was surprised to learn that he also wrote incredibly beautiful and wistful waltzes. They include: Bethena Waltz, Harmony Club Waltz , Pleasant Moments, and Bink's waltz, which is
Gallahad's purrsonal favorite!

Visit THE WALTZING CAT and you'll be able to listen to Bink's Waltz; you'll also find dance instruction, Official Cat Waltzing Apparel, plus much, much more to enhance your Cat Waltzing experience.
