My favourite event of the year is on again - the Pets on Quilts 2013 event hosted by Lilypad Quilting.
I had so much fun with this last year...the entries were absolutely gorgeous and some of them were positively hilarious. I think I spend about one week going through those entries and had many chuckles...
I have chosen this photo of our cat, Abby...love the way she pretends not to be there and the way she
is ignoring the camera as only a cat can.
Head over to the event of the year and spend some time looking through all those wonderful entries. The virtual pet show will be open for new entries from now (August 11) until Saturday (August 17) and then voting will start on Sunday (August 18). Voting will continue through the next Saturday, August 24. Did I mention prizes... for details please head over to Lilypad Quilting.
Let the fun begin...

What do you mean that she's pretending she's not there? She is definitely not there, I can see her not looking at us out the corner of her eye!
ReplyDeleteShe has lovely colouring.
Beautiful quilt, beautiful cat!
ReplyDeleteKarin, she's gorgeous! You're right about "cat ignoring" they have it down to a science unless they want something :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I didn't know something like this existed. I'll keep my eyes open for it next time, looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteJust adore calico kitties - yes, cats do have the right attitude - 'cat-atude' as it is known in our house. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt and the kitty! I'm hoping to link up with Pets on Quilts too! So fun to see these pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty- she reminds me of my Lifey!
ReplyDeleteYou are right. Abby is really gorgeous :-) and the quilt is rather nice too! I love viewing all these pet photos as you do. Have a wonderful hop this year!
ReplyDeleteShe is a gorgeous girl!
ReplyDeleteI choose to think she is busy inspecting the quilting, which by the way is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAbby is one sweet calico. I have two purr-babies (my own terminology) that are calico, Luna and her daughter, Golden. Luna and Golden were rescued from another blogging friend of mine, whose life is all about rescue...she has a boarding kennel that raises money for her Winnie's Wish kitties. Perhaps you know of Chrystal Parker of Daily Dose of Dogs? If not, I highly recommend that blog and I am so pleased with my three angels (Percy, the non-calico but orange and white boy) from her rescue in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,

Abby is a pretty girl! I have three calicoes!
ReplyDeleteHello Abby.......what a beautiful girl you are and how you are enjoying a beautiful quilt as only a spoiled Kitty knows how to do!
ReplyDeleteHi Karin! Thanks for entering our show!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, in the picture Abby has that look of cattish superiority that would be out of place in anything but, well, cats. She's great!
ReplyDeletesuper cute kitty...although i'm not sure how cats act...i'm a poodle person:):) But...she is a cutie:):)
ReplyDeleteAbby is a lovely girl. Her quilt is very nice too!
ReplyDeleteAbby looks quite fitting on your quilt! Funny her not giving you eye contact pretending she's not there. These furry creatures are too funny!
ReplyDeleteHey, Abby's so pretty :D She could be our Selma's sister! Calico's are awesome. Love the next post, too - getting her onto the mini quilt for her. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Abby is such a beautiful cat. She must get many people taking her photos that she just doesn't want to pose any more. Too cute!

ReplyDeleteAbby is beautiful and the quilt is gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteAbby is a lovely cat. They always managed to find that best spot to lay in. The quilt is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteAbby is so sweet. She reminds me of my Lucy who I had many years ago.
ReplyDeleteHelloooo ~ Let me introduce myself, I am Sweet William The Scot, and I am taking the tour of the quilts. I am more of a dog blogger, but I have made three quilts in my lifetime. Love your lilac color and all the stitching in your entry.
ReplyDeleteSweet William The Scot
You have a wonderful pet who obviously loves to pose on quilts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie! I posted a photo or our cat Abby too!
ReplyDeleteLucky cat, such a lovely quilt to pose on!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilting! Abby really seems to be enjoying it as well.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is beautiful and Abby is lovely too!!

Abby is so cute and working the camera! Your quilt is beautiful and the photo really highlights the wonderful quilting! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! Love the fact that you let your cat sleep on that masterpiece, after all quilts should be made to be used!?!
ReplyDeleteShe is a beauty. I find it interesting how many of us quilters are also cat lovers. I guess the two just have a natural affinity.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like such a comfortable spot!
ReplyDeleteAhhh...she is so happy there...just like a cat! Love the show and all the lovely animals.
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Kelly
She looks so soft! Great photo.
