More about the Balderdash Books and Art meows and purrs.

This is from Vanessa at Balderdash Books and Art near Green Lake in Seattle. Green Lake was one of my favourite places in Seattle (I used to live on First Hill).

Thanks Vanessa! Happy rest of Furday and Caturday!


Tosh is a tortoiseshell kitty who turned 13 this March. She has lost most of her teeth already which gives her a snaggle-toothed look. She is the queen of the bookstore and likes to play the menacing gargoyle role from the shelves.

My only boy, George, is an orange tabby. He is a bit on the large side but he is the sweetest cat alive. He has to be to put up with the other two. He turned 12 this March. George likes to sleep in his bed high in the shelves but he will come out and put on a show for customers when he gets hungry enough. Tosh and George do not come down from the shelves to mix with the customers. They are friendly but they both try to sneak out the front door.

Pixel is the newest member of our family and very mischievous. She is a white Turkish Angora. I believe she is around 6-7 years old. She has always been skittish around people but recently has decided that she likes them enough to become the official store greeter. She is allowed to mix with customers but we keep a watchful eye on her. She likes to watch the birds outside but she is thankfully too scared to try to get to them.
