Gardens at Effingham: Where Cats Tell the Tales

The Journey Begins

Welcome to Gardens at Effingham: Where Cats Tell the Tales. My name is Most Beloved. I write the cat tales, and I especially like tattling on the garden cats. I live in the big house at Gardens at Effingham, and have the luxury of being the only indoor cat. I had a rough time as a kitten. I tell the story of how I was rescued here.

I spend my days cat napping, nibbling num-nums, and writing about all things cats and gardens. I also take photographs throughout the four seasons: spring blossoms; summer heat; falling leaves; and winter dreams. Join me for cat tales and tea in the gardens!

Affectionately Yours, Most Beloved

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.

    Celebrate the Seasons! Gorgeous Garden Photos by Most Beloved

    A Note from Most Beloved Sometimes, I journal my cat tales. Sometimes, (okay, quite a bit of time) I nap. Oftentimes, I munch and crunch on num-nums while journaling. And the rest of the time? Time when I’m not napping, paw-printing my way through my cat tales, and snacking on num-nums? I snap photographs of […]
