Welcome, everyone. As we shift from January to February, I thought it would be nice if we could just relax together, quietly for a moment. Maybe we can share a warm, cozy beverage — whatever you like. The magic teapot has coffee, hot chocolate, Irish coffee, mulled wine, or anything else you want.
I’ve invited a lovely couple in honor of this being the last Caturday of the month. In a fun side note, I made this image earlier this week for a Night Cafe Daily Challenge, this one being “No Theme Thursday.” It gave me a big smile that it was voted (by other entrants) in the top 20% of 6,035 entries.
These cats are quite elegant and will only enhance our relaxed mood. For this moment we can float in a bubble of detachment, safe from the outside world, as we sip our warm drink and enjoy one another’s company. Just us, the cozy room, soft comfortable furniture, and the quiet. …And we breathe.

I like the kitties in costume! When I was a kid one of my favorite little books had pictures of cats wearing clothes and doing human kind of things. And when we had our cats (and dogs) I always made costumes for them to wear for Halloween (just long enough to take their picture = and they didn’t mind at all) So , I do like your imagined scene and the lovely magic teapot. Happy Saturday! ❤

It is a lovely image, dear Teagan, and I’m not surprised it was so well received. I’m not a big drinker of hot drinks, but I’m sure I’d enjoy one there. Have a lovely weekend, big hugs, and love to Daphne and Velma. ♥

This is beautiful, Teagan. Congratulations on being recognized by your peers on this effort. We had one male cat that might have served tea to the right female.
Saying goodbye to January isn’t going to be very hard. Today is the coldest day that we’ve had this year. It’s early, but I might ask that magic teapot for a splash of Irish Coffee.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Ha!!! They would rule the world, no doubt about it, Brian. Although putting them in charge (of this country at least) would be a tremendous improvement. Wishing you a smiling Saturday. Hugs.
