By Ian Stewart Falling cats can turn over in mid-air. Well, most cats can. Our first cat, Seamus, didn’t have a clue. My wife, worried he might fall off a fence and hurt himself, tried to train him by holding him over a cushion and letting go. He enjoyed the game, but he never learned how to flip himself over.

Today is the DAY! It only comes ONCE a year! It’s the DAY all the leaves fall off our catalpa tree! My husband and I joke around about it each year. Last night we had our first good freeze and PRESTO! The leaves are falling falling falling!
That’s all I have to say about it! (except I LOVE this day for no good reason!)

Today was an interesting day.
It started out by me taking a couple of photos of this cute fish and cat teapot that my sister bought me when she came to visit on Saturday. We love going to second-hand stores and antique shops. For now I've placed him on the shelf between the kitchen and the dining room. I think he's smitten with that bunny!
Here is another view with the light from my studio doorway in the background. I'm standing in my galley kitchen in front of my stove.
Thank you pat. I love this little guy! he makes a wonderful addition to all of my blue and white pieces. (But you knew he would!)
This handsome, adorable awesome guy is Grady, my friend's cat. They're away in Sedona, Arizona for a much needed vacation. Grady has special needs because he's a herpes kitty with major sinus issues. Let's just say it was a very messy nose day today!
That said, I'm doing a mural (small trompe l'oeil actually) for his mom's birthday

Oh, I am so glad you are ok! Sometimes it's easy to dismiss that nagging voice that says "be careful". I don't know if it's just getting old (boo) but I am more aware of how simple things can turn in to really bad things - snap - like that!
Just from the photos, I am in love with your neighbor's cat! What a cutie pie!
OH NO. I feel for you as that is sooooo ME. I do things like that all the time. Some how I have been fortunate to land alive. You will be sore a few days I fear but thank goodness you are ok. I did get a chuckle out of that fat ass comment tho. ;)I think mine has saved me too. LOL
OHMYGOSH Lolo, I am so happy you weren't hurt (besides your pride), gosh that is SO scary. I have also done stupid things like that and well, lesson learned, like you. Most of the time I try to wear the right shoes. Most being the key word here. Just today I put the wrong darn shoes on cuz I was in a hurry and slipped and fell also. Must have been the day for it.
LOVE your robin header and you always put the perfect words on.
Yikes lo! I am so happy you are okay. Please take care! I am in love with Grady, he is a doll and your friend is so lucky to have you to take care of him. I wish I had you, here! xoxo
I am glad nothing broke. You will probably be even more sore tomorrow. Take a hot bath and soak those tired sore muscles. Take care. Handsome cat too. HAW anyway.
NO!
How scarey is that!
So silly, how easily those falls can happen,,,and so fast!
I actually broke my foot from falling out of my computer chair!
(go figure!)
Glad you're okay,,and glad you could care for Grady.
Wonderful gift cat too!
Feel better,,,,,
Oh my gosh! This was scary to read! I sure hope you will be OK!!! Keep blogging every day and let us know that you are, OK?????
♥
OHHH I love Grady. We have one up for adoption at PetsMart that looks just like him. What a doll. Love your pictures, and am sooo glad you are alright. Be careful girlfriend.
♥
pretty scary to fall like this. Definitely dont want to break anything. A couple times when Mom was alive I came into a room to find her standing on a little stool to reach a high cabinet. At 90. !!! Even though she knew she shouldnt be doing so.
Kitty is very sweet. Glad you have him for company as you paint. Be well and take care, Suki
ps before my big move, I had a little thrift store teapot just like that except in blue!!
Having been the recipient of a new hip due to a fall, I say, YES! Make sure you have the right things! Be careful becuase I would not want anyone else to have to go through half a year of down time to heal......
And that cat; oh my! What a fine kitty! So cute, so fluffy!
XXOO!!
Anne
So, if I understand this properly, the ramifications of your tumble is behind you? We're all glad that you're okay.
Lo, I am late getting to your post....how scary....you WERE SO LUCKY..... that fall could have been much worse... I am sure you are sore and black and blue today....so, when you continue to work on this project, go
C-A-R-E-F-U-L-L-Y and slowly.
(You did crack m up with the "fat ass" comment!) Your new "Assistant" is pretty adorable.....he has wonderful expressions in that furry face!
I love your new teapot! And love you, too....
Wear the correct shoes!!!!!
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
I hope now you are better!Please take care!
Your cat is wonderful and the teapot is gorgeous,me too love second hand stores and antique shops:)
oh noes! I thought you were going to say the cat tripped you...but this is, well...much more of a catastrophe! I have had that same feeling of 'this is dangerous' and still continued but yes, as I age I find myself contemplating that hip replacement surgery and it slows me down a bit to consider...
Oh Lo!!!!!!!!
Now I know what happened. :(
I think you were lucky while being unfortunate to fall.
It all could have ended so much worse...
I am glad you are ok , sore but nothing broken or permanently damaged..... SCARY.
A tough lesson. And yes a little female fat can be a lifesaver! If you were too skinny you would have broken something maybe.
From now on take better care and I will kleep this lesson in mind too, because this could have been me.
The kitty is adorable I can see why you love him.
The gifts from your sister are exquisite.
Big hug (not too firm this time......ouch) from me
♥♥♥

Oh, my gosh!!!! I am so glad you're ok! How easily these things happen, and how much harder to recover when we're a little older, heh! I do hope the muscle aches aren't too bad...take a bath in Epsom salts. It will be comforting, at least.
I used to fall with regularity and so far have been fortunate I have not broken anything. I am far less adventurous now...
What a lovely cat! I so miss having a cat...just by looking at him I can tell he has a sense of humour!
Hope you're feeling better...I'm late commenting, as usual, lol!
Kudos to your bottom....it is there for a reason. Thankful that you are reasonably okay, VERY hard lesson learned! Grady is precious, kitties can be so funny and so "helpful" sometimes! I have missed a few posts....LOVED the post about your book, how awesome is that! Please take care and have a great weekend.
I hope by the time you read this you are feeling much more spry and cheery. I had a similar incident one time just because I was 'making do' with out the right tools and support to do the job. Angels were certainly watching over you-of that I am sure...Hugs to you and your life saving "plump bum"!
