Powdery Mildew

As we passed this house on the way home yesterday, I yelled whoa, whoa, whoa....back up! I am wanting to start a collection of cat in window pictures....I thought this the perfect opportunity for one.

And you ask why the Powdery Mildew title? Once up on a time, when I worked at the orchard, a cat came there that had the white markings this cat does...the white tipped hair around the neck. My name for her was Nikita, but Mrs. D who adopted her, called her Powdery Mildew. She could have been called Squirrel, though. She had kittens not too long after coming there and guess where she had them? Up a tree down in a hollow part of it. She had to climb about ten feet to get to her kittens.

  1. I love the hair around its neck. I don't think I've ever seen a cat like that before.

  2. But at least she kept her kittens out of the reach of harm! That is a pretty cat in the window.

  3. The ruff around the neck is unusual and pretty. Looks like this kitty could use a good brushing however. Love your photo, cats in windows will make a great collection.

  4. A fine start to your "cat in the window" collection. I enjoyed reading about how powdery mildew came to be.

  5. Great story and great title! Nice-looking kitty, too. And she's wondering what in the world you are doing pointing that funny looking little machine at her...

  6. I guess she was a very private kind of cat! I like the idea of taking collecting at in the window photos. I hope you really do that because I would enjoy seeing them.
