We have Patchouli kitty in the spot light for Caturday today! You don’t get to see much of her because she is somewhat of a recluse. You know how everyone seems to have a crazy aunt? Well, we’ve explained to Luxie that she has a crazy Aunt Patchouli. Patchouli does not get along with any other cats. She doesn’t fight them, she’s terrified of them. She’s scared whether she has any reason to be scared or not. Once the other cats figure out that she cowers or runs, they find great joy in tormenting her.
She spends most of the time in her basement apartment. It really is a sweet place, she has a wooden crate that sits right up next to a window. She can lay on it and have a perfect view of the squirrels and the birds at the bird feeder. My office/computer is in the basement so I spend the majority of my day downstairs with her.
I was out taking some garden photos when she decided to join me. And yes, that is a dandelion blooming already! I’m sure the below freezing weather that we’ve had the past few nights, which turned all my white azaleas brown, probably hasn’t even fazed it.
For our artsy photo, we used the Topaz Labs Plug in for a bright watercolor effect.
Patchouli is a gorgeous cat…and also very large. Is she large, or are looks deceiving?
It’s great that she gets to spend time with your in the basement. 🙂
She is a beautiful cat! She is pretty large, isn’t she? I’m glad she gets to spend time with you in the basement. 🙂
I think that is my favorite artsy photo. I would seriously hang that on my wall.
tuxedo cats are so handsome!
So fluffay!!!
Patchouli is beautiful and I adore her name ♥ Thank you for joining in the Pet Parade!
Patchouli, you are very beautiful and we are so happy to hear you have a nice place to lay and watch the world around you.
Aww! she looks just like a cat I used to have Thomas, love those photos and her poses heheh!
Have a furrytastic weekend 🙂
What a beautiful cat and what great photography. You can sure take some awesome photographs.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
An exceptionally fine looking cat, we agree 500%
Happy (late) Sunday Selfie
Patchouli is such a beautiful girl! I’m glad that she came out for a few photos today. It looks like spring is springing up in your area. It is nice to see the greenery coming back. 🙂
EVERY family has one. purrs
Patchouli is lovely…such gorgeous furs. That is sad that she leads such a solitary life. At least she has you. Astrid is our shy girl, and Misty May bullies her terribly, just to hear Astrid scream. Makes Mom very angry, and she banishes Misty May upstairs or outside. Thanks for hopping and sharing your lovely lady with us.

Patchouli sounds a lot like my Popoki. I have no idea why some cats are so fearful of other kitties, but I know it’s not a behavior we can always train away. Sometimes, it’s best to just love them as they are and look for ways to keep them happy. Sounds like you’re doing an excellent job of that!

She really is a dear, and seems quite independently minded…. mind you I think she has the best spot , birds squirrels and a loving mom for most of the day! Great images of her too, Topaz really does have a wonderful effect, even to those who are already beautiful, like Patchouli.

Patchouli is lovely. I like the art effect too.
Absolutely Stunning each and every photo,xx Speedy
These are gorgeous photos! Patchouli is beautiful.
Patchouli is a beautiful kitty. I love all kitties, but black and white ones especially. Our Angel Xerxes was black and white, too.
The watercolor is beautiful and makes her look even softer. 🙂
Have a blessed weekend.
Patchouli is beautiful. Excellent photos of her and the art is beautiful too.

Patchouli is a beautiful cat. I love the soft look the watercolor effect gave to her fur.
She is a stunningly beautiful kitty, pity she’s a reclusive one. I didn’t know you had another cat! Great photos. Great also that she has company in her retreat 💕
Sweet Patchouli.
