Cat blitz week continues with Opie, one of my favorite cats.
Is there something here for me? Of, course!

Cat blitz week / day 1
I decided to begin my first “cat blitz week” starting today. One cat photograph will be posted each weekday beginning today for this week only. It will be like “wordless Wednesday” only held on every day. On Saturday I will do my “normal” blog post. If it goes over well, I may do it again. Let us begin with Marigold, one of my cats.
What do Keebler elves taste like?
Girl sleeping with her cat (1905)
I think it is time to put up another stereoview from my collection. Not much is happening with my cats at the moment. This particular card is not rare at all. Views of children and their pets were popular subjects. This particular card is copyrighted in 1905 by the card publishing giant Underwood & Underwood in the USA.
Entering the gates of Sleepy Land
The photograph is not a snapshot. I am sorry to say that the photograph is posed in a photographic studio. The little girl is not asleep really, as you may be able to tell by the grip she has on the cat with her hand. The cat looks more like he is purring than sleeping. I will say that the cat has a very familiar face. I bet he is orange. What do you think? He has probably run through his nine lives by now. The little girl is probably 110 years old, more or less.

Wordless wednesday
I have never done a Wordless Wednesday post. I suppose since I am saying this, I still haven’t. I call it “Wed-nes-day”. I read the name comes from the Old English Wōdnesdæg and Middle English Wednesdei, “day of Woden”. Woden is Odin–makes more sense all the time, ie. it is Woden without the “W” basically. Anyway, here we go with wordless Woden Wednesday with words.

Puzzled cats!
Marigold is very helpful when assembling a picture puzzle, just like all cats.

Why put a puzzle together upon the floor?
Marigold on the prowl
Marigold likes to go outside on the prowl. Many warm days have allowed outside activities. One day Marigold got sick and had to go to the vet. She was dehydrated. She stayed overnight and was hydrated. Now she is fine. Water was available but she is very furry.
