Hanging out. #caturday

Who says cats don't come when they're called? #caturday

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· 12d

Yeah, I know. I ruined it by taking my phone with me. But I wanted to share it. Sound on for soothing brook noise.

New box!! Fits just fine. #caturday

Tuxedo cat squished into a cardboard box which is resting on a fluffy white rug

Today could have been better. (Understatement). So I am sitting outside trying to enjoy the weather, my cat and the lovely hosta with it's purple flower.

Wide angle view of my lawn with tuxedo cat on the left edge of the frame. Right edge of frame on the background is a hosta between two trees. It's blooming but the flowers can't really be seen at this distance. Lawn gives way to woods at the back.

The power of the cat. He only has one paw touching me, but I am trapped.

Tuxedo cat curled up on the seat of a tall stool. Stool has a wooden back. Cat's paw is touching my leg. My foot is on the rung of the stool.

Happy #caturday!

Tuxedo cat lying on his side but twisted a bit so his head is upside down on the floor. He's on a white rug in front of glass patio doors.

Lurking on #caturday

Tuxedo cat peeking out between two piles of stacked wood. The foreground is brown leaves with some grass peaking up.

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· May 21

An early spring view from the porch of my camp. Still brown lawn gently sloping to a brook on the left. Evergreen trees on the left side of the bank. There's a birch tree on the right side, bare branches reaching into a cloudless blue sky.

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· May 17

Yay! It's finally warm enough to sit on my deck for breakfast.

View from my chair on deck. Deck is off of first floor but there's a daylight basement, so the deck is one floor up from the ground. View is of a corner of the deck with the railings taking up most of the frame. Beyond the railing is dense woods but the trees are fairly young and leaves are just starting to come out so the pale blue sky is visible between the trees.

Mortimer has discovered something...kitty cologne?? #caturday

Why is it still winter?

Learn a language with me for free! Duolingo is fun, and proven to work. Here’s my invite link: invite.duolingo.com/BDHTZTB5CWWK... Duo said the stuff above this line. I did the free version for quite a while. Switched to paid 4 months ago. I am definitely making good progress. It's fun!

Visitor in our yard yesterday. Helped itself to a lawn salad then took a brief bask in the sun on our back steps! #wildlifevisitors

Groundhog on patchy lawn facing camera, chewing grass with it's mouth open.

Smooshed.

Long-haired tuxedo cat wedged between two people on a couch. Close up so people are not barely visible. There's an arm on the right side of the picture and a thigh on the left side.

Homemade solar panel "holder." And possibly justification for not throwing things out. It's made out of an axel so it rotates. The straps adjust the angles. It's catching the best rays!!

Mortimer has made himself comfortable on this rainy day with the human who doesn't like cats. #caturday

Long-haired tuxedo cat snuggled in the crook of someone's arm. Its close up of the cat so the arm is on the right of the frame and to the left there's a portion of the chest and abdomen of the person who is wearing a gray shirt.

New box! #caturday

Long-haired tuxedo cat sitting and facing camera inside an open box. He takes up most of the frame but there's a large basket with a handle on to the right of the frame just behind the box. It is full of stuffed dog toys.

Happy 1st Gotcha Day, Mortimer! #caturday

Long-haired tuxedi cat sitting on a bed covered with black and white checkered blanket. Blue party hat with multi colored polka dots next to the cat.

Tuxedo cat with blue party hat with polka dots on his head. He's about to tip the hat off his head so his nose is pointing toward the bed he's sitting on and his eyes aren't visible.

Mortimer is on my lap, discouraging me from going to work. Sorry, Morty. I would prefer to stay here with you, but someone has to pay for your lifestyle. #caturday

Tuxedo cat close-up, sitting on my
lap but it's hard to tell. There's a bit of brown couch arm rest in the foreground and a bit of my gray sweatshirt to the left.

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· Apr 4

Mortimer on high alert for something. We do not know what. #caturday

Long-haired tuxedo cat sitting on top of a large wooden crate, very alert and focused. Two other large wooden crates behind him and a moss-covered stone reinforced embankment behind them. A wooden post is between the cat and the crates behind him. Post is holding up a porch that isn't in the shot. This is hard! Hope it helps.

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· Mar 31

Chaos!

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· Mar 22

Mortimer making sure I am getting some rest. #caturday

Long-haired tuxedo cat curled up on my lap as I sit on the couch, picture taken by me so its a close up of the cat with my gray sweatpants covered legs stretched out on the recliner foot in the background.

Sarah Skolfield@sarahskolfield· Mar 14

Is it cheating if I don't post a picture taken today? This was a few days ago but I love it. He's just yawning but doesn't it look like he's roaring?? #caturday

Long-haired tuxedo cat with his mouth open wide in a big yawn. Sitting outside on a large rock immediately in front of a tree. Background of patchy snow with open areas of bare ground covered in brown leaves.
