He's Still Not Talking...But We Know!

A few weeks back, you and I went on a shopping/antiquing trip for Pink Saturday...and I came across this pillow.

I was sure Max, my constant companion, had snuck out of the house and posed for the maker of the pillow...although, Max wasn't talking. Just look at the tip of the tail and that girth...I think there's no denying it! :-)

I didn't purchase the pillow...that day. But after reading all of the comments y'all left on that post, I called the store and said, "Don't sell that pillow! That's my cat and I'm coming to get it!" Well, what do you think?

Since the screened-in porch is Max's favorite spot, the pillow just seemed to belong here, too. :-)

I attempted to get Mr. Max to pose again tonight, but he wasn't having it. Still in denial...it would seem. :-)
Little reminder: Tuesday is Tablescape Tuesday. (Click on the pink TT logo in my sidebar for the details.) Last week we had thirty-seven participants...fantastic! Remember, you do not have to dress a full table to participate...a single place setting or a lovely table for two is fine, too!

If you don't blog and thus, don't have a blog on which to post a tablescape, you can participate by posting your tablescape on Rate My Space. Just e-mail the direct RMS link to me at betweennapsontheporch@gmail.com, and I will include you as a participant in this Tablescape Tuesday. :-) Please let me know by Monday evening, 8:00 PM, if you do plan to participate. Looking forward to seeing your tablescapes!

Hi Susan...I'm so glad you went back to get that pillow! You know that's Max. I don't know how the maker got him to pose, though. Mine are never feeling cooperative. Well..except Isabella, who is a supermodel in the cat world! lol Happy New Year!...Debbie

Such fun, Susan!! What on earth would we do without our furry friends? We have one quite striking, sophisticated sealpoint Siamese, a Rat Terrier, and a Bearded Collie.
I have to post some of their funny pics. I've only shown one since I started blogging a couple of months ago.
Thanks for the smiles!!

Yes, you did NEED that pillow, because it IS Max! Max may not know what he looks like, so he may not realize that it is his portrait on the pillow. Maybe he's jealous of your new cat! laurie

That pillow is perfect on your porch swing. The model had to be Max, there is no other explanation. Now when did he find the time between all his other kitty duties? Kathy

Hi Susan and I do remember the precious pillow and I'm so glad you were able to get it! Thank you for your kind words about my Mother - I will tell her of all of her get well wishes. I preposted a tablescape for tomorrow, so I'll be able to TT with you.
Blessings, dear one,
Shelia ;)

Glad to see the pillow looks as at home on the porch as Max obviously is. Wonder if Max got paid money or just received fish bait for the modeling job. Either way, he looks quite content. Hope he doesn't decide he needs another career besides the one he has already, of being "the" portly house cat of Magnolia Manor.

LOVE the pillow and Max is just TOO cleaver. That little minx snuck out and had his portrait done....GOOD JOB MAX!

I absolutely love your porch swing...those covers on the chain are a great idea and really dress it up.

I've never participated in a TT but maybe will get it together this week, or for sure next week. That will be fun and give me a new challenge. Have a wonderful day! Hugs to Max!

Well, I can see why the pillow had to come home with you! :) Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I'm so glad to 'meet' you..your blog is an instant favorite and I'm putting you on my blogroll so I can come back often! :)

Hi Susan...That pillow (of Max) couldn't look more perfect on your porch! I'm so glad you went back for it. I wanted to do a tablescape, but I'm down with a big, bad cold...so I'll have to wait for another Tuesday, but I'll be back to enjoy everyone else's.

What a great likeness...have you noticed if Max has had a little extra spending money lately? (sitting fees) I'd check his bank account just to be sure! :-) It's perfect for the porch, too!
Count me in for TT tomorrow!
Happy Monday!

Awww! Max is a beautiful cat. I have a feeling that if cats could talk, they could really tell us some stories about their adventures. Like the pillow.

I have a fat cat too!! Love your blog. Put me down for TT tomorrow. My hubby gave me some new dishes for Christmas I want to use. Hopefully I will get my post done before I go to bed tonight so I won't miss all the early birds tomorrow. That is my goal, but I am a procrastinator. Wish me luck, or better yet, motivation.

The likeness is crazy! He definately snuck out at night, had some wild times with some really great artist over a glass of wine and made it home before anyone missed him!!!!

Susan, that pillow is fantastic and oh my gawd, what a resemblance to Max! He looks a little confused by the pillow. Ha! :)

Hey Susan; What a amazing likeness. The Cat on the pillow sure does look like Max. I am glad you bought the pillow, maybe Max is a twin... lol

Have a great week.

Well, for sure the pillow was created with Max as the model. Can't imagine how he found time and opportunity to sneak away. Love it on the porch.
