We've had Duchess for 11 years now. She's very playful and loves to birdwatch. One day, she actually caught a bird by sticking her paw through a small opening in our security door and brought it inside our home. Our children saw what she did and rescued the bird before it ended up in her mouth. Poor bird was so disoriented, it kept hitting the wall as our children tried to get it to go outside. Thank goodness it survived and flew up into a tree in our backyard.

Pets On Quilts Show
Last year I participated in SewCalGal's Pets on Quilts Show and it was fun to see all the adorable pets that were entered. Last year it was our cat Molly, but this year Duchess was wanting to join in on the fun. Duchess was sound asleep on this table runner when I was taking her picture. I disturbed her when I pulled out the camera and she started to wake up. She did some stretching, stared at me for a bit, cleaned herself, then got comfy and went back to sleep.

what an elegant Lady Duchess is.
She definitely looks comfortable.
Such contentment and comfort! Duchess is so beautifully marked.
Cat naps, they always look so comfy and relaxed in those twisted up positions. She's gorgeous. Thanks.
She is gorgeous and looks very like our Princess Dorothy.

Recently we had to bird sit for my son and his SO. One of her cats ate one of their birds. Duchess is indeed a Duchess. Thanks for sharing!
Now there's a cat who knows a gorgeous quilt when he sees one!! haha

Duchess should learn how to relax -- maybe a nice quilt to stretch out on? LOL! I love the positions they get into when they're totally relaxed and trusting. Thanks for sharing a smile this morning!
She must be as fast as lightning to grab the bird like that! I wouldn't want her after me! ha!
She is gorgeous and looks very like!
Oh an avid bird watcher! Does she talk to them too? I don't know what it is about mine but throughout the years my female cats talk to the birds. Not Sunny though...
Ah, Duchess is so very cute. And I love your quilts too. Thanks for sharing in the Pets on Quilts Show.

I love watching a pet sleep, but I want to pet them. Duchess looks so lovely and loveable.
Is she a savannah cat? She has such beautiful markings!
I wish I could lay like that and sleep. Ha. Lovely cat and quilt!
Sweet pictures. :)
She is certainly enjoying her quiltsy napping place.
Duchess is beautiful! And it's amazing she was quick enough to catch that bird -- wow! Thanks for sharing her stories and your lovely quilt!
Duchess is beautiful and such a lady of leisure :-)
Oh, she is so adorable, love her little stretched out toesies picture.
Duchess seems to have several variations of the "relax on a quilt" pose...
What a beauty your Duchess is indeed!
Have you ever seen those moving pictures books? Those pics would make a great one! Thanks for sharing!
Love all your pics. She seems very content and comfortable!
Duchess is a beauty. Minimal movement going on through her photo shoot though. Like she's thinking "Oh just let me get back to my cat nap".
nothing looks as comfy as a snoozing cat - no matter how odd the position LOL
Very much at home isn't she. They know when they rule the roost don't they?
Beautiful
OMGOSH!!!! Great photo shoot! I can't stop giggling!
