Have you ever seen a tree that meows?
And purrs?
Looks like I have my very own Pumpkin tree now!
Amazing bowl of oats this morning
Oatmeal made with milk, water, banana, and chia seeds with 1/3 cup low-fat organic cottage cheese and 1/3 cup fresh blueberries stirred in at end. Took me right back to summer berry oats!
Almond butter and Ellwood Thompson granola on top (a Richmond store brought to me via my friend Elly!)
And on the side – a big mug of coffee!!!! French pressed to perfection. NYC brought back my love for the good stuff.
I my tree produces some great orange pumpkins soon!

LOL! Cute kitty – hope it’s able to get down okay!
I got a vision of wee little pumpkins sprouting all over the tree. How cute would THAT be!?
Cute kitty!! Mmm…fresh blueberries sound amazing right now.
So many animals show up on your doorstep – they must know that great bread is close by!
haha you and your run ins with cats! too funny. enjoy your morning!
What a cute cat! But I hope the kitty can get down from the tree. I can’t tell how high up he is.
You have some very cute wildlife there Kath! And on the cottage cheese note, I can’t seem to get enough of it lately! Couldn’t stand it when I was little, but it’s my go-to snack right now…. I might even say I like it more than Greek yogurt!Gorgeous oats as always.
That cat is cute! I hope it was able to get down alright! Fresh blueberries sound delicious
Coffee and oatmeal, I love the combo. Who am I kidding, I love coffee with anything, but always the good stuff. Mine has to be dark and rich with just a little vanilla soy creamer. YUM.
It looks like summer over there! And I love that you have a pet cat without actually having to take care of it! Haha so cute!
Best of both!
‘Tis the morning for amazing oats. In my bowl: blend of rolled and steel cut oats, chia, soymilk locally-grown pear, homemade hazelnut butter, and cinnamon
That is such a great pic of the kitten in the tree! We had a kitten growing up that got chased so far up a tree she got stuck… it was a giant pine tree, so tall a ladder wouldn’t reach her We had to call a tree service to fetch her!
Too cute! That’s not y’alls cat right?
Right, she lives next doro
The kitten is sure getting some workout climbing on those trees!
a pumpkin tree?! how fun would that be! would sure save me some money on libby’s
It doesn’t get much better than French press coffee! I feed my addiction daily with my little one that I keep at work.
I have the mixings for a dough boy smoothie sitting in my vitamix waiting for me in the fridge for when I get home. I didn’t want to experiment for breakfast on a work day, just in case.
I’m hoping to be well enough to do the new Bodypump launch today (it’s killllllller) and have the smoothie for a post-workout snack!
I did the new launch yesterday! Pretty good one!
haha that cat is so funny!
Cats are so funny. Each w/ their very own cool personality.
Breakfast with that granola… delicious. Never thought about putting cottage cheese in it. Will need to try that one.
I wish I had a pumpkin tree too! Kitties are so cute especially the orange variety! That’s why I have two! Breakfast looks perfect today! I hope you have a great one Kath!
I have no idea how cats successfully get up into trees that far, and how they manage to get down – although with all the cliche firefighter-cat-up-a-tree-rescues, I guess maybe they’re not as successful at getting down as I’m guessing!
Nothing beats a good cup of coffee..nothing.
This post brings back memories of my childhood cats who would climb trees and then get scared to come down on their own
Hope yours makes it down okay!
The breakfast looks delish.
I love my morning dose of coffee!
LOL! Cats are so silly
I love your mug!!! Super cute!
That kitty is too cute.
Cats are such individuals…your pumpkin cat is an adventurer for sure! Your morning oats look so inviting…love the pop of blueberry! I have been making Lemon Blueberry muffins for our summer fling!
Haha. Cats are such funny creatures….
Sweet kitty– makes me miss my orange cat who passed a few years ago. Orange cats are the best
That does look like one amazing bowl of oats! The other day I made my oats on the stovetop and stood there and stirred it the whole time – I felt just like Matt
I want a hissing tree. I bet it’d scare the damn squirrels from my bird feeder. It may also scare away the birds…
Wow,that cat looks just like my cat!
I love cats. Our orange cat was called Butterscotch but Pumpkin is a good name, too. I’m sure she will get down ok. I’ve never seen a cat skeleten in a tree.
Chia seeds! THAT’s what I left out of my oats this morning!
Awww so adorable! I hope he’s not stuck though.
It’s so cool that you can capture such fun and beautiful pictures…right from your own house!
Good reminder to put cottage cheese in my oatmeal!
Cottage cheese blueberry oats are my favorite. Never would have tried cottage cheese in them if it weren’t for your blog!
Gotta love summer-inspired meals!

We have a cat thats been lurking around my house lately too. My 3 year old loves it! Now I’m just waiting for her to ask her daddy for a kitty!
Kath the cat whisperer! Those little felines flock to you (or maybe fly in this case!).
I want a Pumpkin Tree!
I’ve never tried cottage cheese in oats but I am intrigued. Does it make a more savory oat? Also anyone know a vegan alternate to cottage cheese?
It’s a tiny bit more savory, but with fruit it’s just as breakfast-y. I don’t know of a vegan alternative other than crumbled tofu – not sure I’d be brave enough to try that! Or perhaps a coconut or soy yogurt stirred in
“…with 1/3 cup low-fat organic cottage cheese and 1/3 cup fresh blueberries…”
…sounds like BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE oats!
Oh, and were they really fresh berries if you got them in January?
They were…from CA
what an adventurous kitty!
I’m so glad I finally tried adding cottage cheese to my oats – I love it!
Kitty on the prowl! Maybe she wanted your oats?
