What I love about cats-coolness personified

1. Cats can look comfortable even when they couldn't possibly be.

2. Feline are the most fabulous animals to ever grace the earth 😻

9. Yes, they are. They're too good for us.

3. All I can think, is that poor cat

Either it has what I consider criminally irresponsible owners or no owners at all.

7. She looks just fine - well-fed and strangely comfortable.

If she didn't want to be there she wouldn't be there.

8. Yep, very much so.

Besides which, she's a Calico. One lives with us, and she owns the place. Calico cats are special.

Edit: I misspoke. We live with her.

11. My last cat was a calico and I kept her safely indoors.

13. Our Molly is an indoor cat

She was about two years ole when we rescued her, and they were pretty sure she was a lost pet who had been on her own for a while as she was wearing a collar when she was brought in. She loves to sit in the window and watch the outdoors, but has no interest in going out. If a door is left open she will sort of peer out and sniff, but stays inside. Clearly it's a case of, "I've been there and I like it better here."

We would keep her indoors in any case. We keep their claws on, but we are indoor kitty people.

10. It's not a matter of what she wants. It's how safe it is for her.

She's unleashed, no collar/tags I can see, at the mercy of anyone passing by, and if she wanders into the street, her life is even more at risk. I really can't believe any cat lover is OK with that scenario.

12. The best place for a domestic cat is indoors, but in many countries they are let out.

This one might have a home, or she could be a stray (though she looks well-fed). My own cats are indoor cats and I agree that they are better off indoors. That said, obviously I have no control over this one. I commented only that she did not seem either uncomfortable or underfed.

4. Wise choice to get off those hot bricks!

Smart kitty.

5. She's exactly where she wants to be.

Cats almost always are.

Not to steal this lovely calico's moment, but here's another cool cat who is exactly where she wants to be: Elsie.



Elsie Cat MC is named for Elspeth Beard, the first British woman to motorcycle around the world, whom Elsie has met in person. They are pictured above together early in May.

I've had the pleasure of spending a little time with this feisty, adventuresome kitten. She's been riding with her human since she was just a few weeks old and is an old pro now at about 3-1/2 months. She wears a harness (now that she's big enough) and leash, attached to her human for safety, but she's very confident and perfectly at home on the bike.

I used to ride, so this just blows me away. Since May, they've been cross-country and back, most recently made a round trip to Chicago, and there have been plenty of shorter adventures in between. Lots of very cool pictures and some video on the FB page, so enjoy: https://www.facebook.com/elsiecatmc/
