About Me
- Cloudhands
- This is a place to think out loud, to explore those things that interest me and to ramble on about whatever strikes my fancy at the moment. I'm in my seventh decade and just delighted to be here. I live in the country just outside a small mountain town in Tennessee. I quilt, I am a Tai Chi player, I sing in our church choir, I am a Hospice volunteer. I'm blogging to keep up with a couple of my children and their children.

to cute
Twain,
I know. My computer is across the room and I turned around and there she was purring and content. I couldn't help myself, I needed that picture of catness.
Super cute!!
Were you aware that female orange cats are rare? 1 out of every 10 orange cats is female....I have one myself :)
Anastasia,
Good heavens, I didn't know that. We have two gals from that same litter. Don't remember how many kittens there were but the male or males had already been adopted. Hubby was looking for a Garfield with attitude and our GiGi (Garfield Girl) fills the bill nicely.
Veery inter rest ting! as someone on Saturday Night Live used to say.
You make me smile - before I turn in.
Ernestine,
Our animals are good for many smiles. They are our gentler selves.
What a sweet picture! Thanks for stopping by during my birthday week!

I have a whole file of cat pictures. They are natural posers don't you think.
Looks a little precarious to me! Probably nice and warm though!
I'd always believed that all orange cats were toms, and the female equivalent was tortoiseshell - but I can see I've been proved wrong!
Gilly,
You are half right!!! The majority of orange kitties are Toms because they are usually male. Turtoiseshell kitties usually are female, but they are not orange. They have a variety of rich, beautiful colors. I've attached a link:

I volunteer at a local kitty shelter...I have a small of obsession with kitties :)
Gilly,
I am always amazed at the places cats can find to sleep in or on. GiGi was very secure on the back of the chair, of course she was leaning on the man. When we had our motor home she would perch on the top of the seat at his head while he drove and sleep the miles away.
Gi and Ki are not our first female orange tabbies so I'm a little surprised to know they are rarities.
Anastasia,
I'm learning all sorts of things here. I know that Calico cats are female, right? And I guess I never realized that kitty shelters were around.
We got our girls through a local 'no kill' Wags and Whiskers rescue group where animals are in foster care until they are adopted. It's good to know of your obsession. It sounds delightful to me.
Cloudhands,
Kitty shelters do exist! I volunteer for the Merrimack River Feline Rescue Society (www.mrfrs.org) in Salisbury Massachusetts. We are about 45 minutes north of Boston, and close to the New Hampshire border. The organization is a no-kill, no-cage shelter that is dedicated to helping kitties in the area. I highly recommend you check out the website - lots of feel good - heart tugging stories that make you want to grab your own kitties and hug, hug, hug!!!!
Here is a good website that describes the differences between calico and tortoiseshell. Who would have thought that a pic of your Gigi would have sparked such an educational discussion about cats!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
Anastasia,
This has been fun. The girls show up as a regular feature here. I can't help it, they make me laugh and feel all pleased to have them in our lives.
Thanks for the interesting web sites. It's always fun discovering new things about what we already find fascinating.
What a cute shot!
Speaking of "Gigi," I'm considering that for my "Grandma name," as Gr is so hard for most young ones to pronounce!
Just wondering, what do your grandchildren call you? I'm betting it's something clever . . .
Ruth,
Truth be told, I'm Grandma and glad to be. I like traditional. But one sister-in-law is Mimi and that is cute, the other is Unyah (not sure of the spelling)which is an east European grandma name. You know, of course, when Joshua starts talking he may bring his own version. Whatever, have fun with it and the right name will become obvious.
