Yesterday, the Queen’s subjects left at 5:40 a.m. (that’s in the morning before the sun comes up!), rode the trains for National Train Day (San Diego Trolley, Amtrak, and Los Angeles Metro), and arrived back home at 9:05 p.m. (that’s after the sun goes down!).

We expected to find Zoey the Cool Cat sleeping in her favorite chair, or on whatever clothes of mine she could find, or in a place where she’s not supposed to be (like on top of the piano).

There she was stretching her claws on the carpet with her rump and tail in the air, a sure sign that she was asleep until she heard the car pull into the driveway.

Then she was up and at ’em, playing, jumping, running up and down the hall, checking out all the new stuff on the bed….

Ah, cats……..

In honor of mothers everywhere, following are some of my favorite cats. Happy Mothers Day!
