An exceptional submission from Julie and Pat: meet Timbur, their talkative porch-dog, seen here on their very lovely porch. We especially like the decorative pillows, the lush plants, the rocking chair & porch swing, and that nice pale green accent paint on the house. (Also the yard signage, seen in the second picture we took back in late July but never got around to posting.)
These two friendly Riversiders put a lot of love into their porch, and it shows. Thanks for sharing with us!

Aaaand we're back, just in time for Spoopy Season! Sorry for the hiatus y'all. Anyway, here's Jason's porch that I've been meaning to post for a while, but I lost the picture, and then I forgot his name, but now I have his name again and I took a new picture with his spoopy skeleton door so it's even better! We like the tiny fairy/gnome decorations on the steps, the little classic truck on the railing, and of course the sign advising anyone who doesn't already know that they have arrived on THE PORCH!
A truly excellent Riverside porch. Well done, Jason!

This is the kind of porch that you can tell has had a lot of care put into it. This porch knows very well the touch of the broom, has carefully chosen but not overdone decor, and the landscaping is lovingly maintained. As you can see from the pillow, this porch even has rules for being on it! But good rules.

Still, be on your best behavior while visiting this porch. Say "thank you, ma'am" when you get your lemonade, and don't come up there with muddy boots or you might not be invited back. And trust, you want to be invited back! ☺️

Today I visited The Oracle, the PorchCat of Blackest Night, to seek his Labor Day Wisdom.

"Oh Benevolent Oracle, All-Knowing PorchCat of Blackest Night," I asked, "What is your wisdom this Labor Day?" The Oracle stretched, considered me for a moment, and then shook his head.

"I cannot dispense wisdom to you today," said he, pausing to lick his paw. "If you wish, you may go seek my cousin, TrashCat the Wise, who also possesses the mystic knowledge bestowed upon all black cats. Ask him your questions." I thanked him and began my quest.

As one might expect, I found TrashCat the Wise next to a garbage can.

"TrashCat the Wise! Your cousin the Oracle, the PorchCat of Blackest Night, quested me to find you. I humbly beseech you, please tell me your Labor Day Wisdom!"

TrashCat the Wise simply stared at me for a moment. Then he rolled his eyes and harshly yowled the following at me (somehow in a Brooklyn accent?):

"I can't believe it. Greg did this to me again! Listen, human: it's friggin' Labor Day. Cats don't labor most days, but definitely not today, so if you want wisdom or anything else you gotta come back tomorrow. Greg just doesn't want to tell you that because it kinda ruins his whole mystic oracle schtick he's got going, so he keeps sending you primates to me instead of telling you himself. As soon as you left I guarantee you he started rolling around in catnip, and that's what he's gonna do the whole rest of the day. Heck, that's what I'm about to do myself. You want some Labor Day Wisdom? Here ya go: go read some labor movement history, enjoy your dang holiday, and scram!"

I counted myself blessed to have received this nugget of guidance, bid him farewell, and set off to follow his advice. Now I'm making a frozen pina colada to drink on the porch.

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

↓↓ IMPORTANT INFO, PLEASE READ! ↓↓

Welcome Riversiders, Porch Sitters, Cat Lovers, and all of the above! Message us a pic or few of your Riverside Porch or PorchCat, and we'll most likely post them. We may occasionally post other things at our discretion.

We value the safety of our neighbors, so we follow these rules about what we post:
1) We ALWAYS edit out house numbers, signs showing family names, etc. If you see some identifying info we missed in a picture, please message us to let us know!
2) If you don't want your porch on our page, we absolutely respect that. We'll ask your permission to photograph & post your porch if you happen to be outside, but otherwise we assume whatever is visible from the front is fair game. We avoid photographing anything we think might embarrass the owner, but of course people disagree on what they consider embarrassing. Regardless of reason, if you want your porch removed from our page, comment on the post or message us and we'll gladly take it down.

Now a bit about who we are!
We're Robin (he/they) and Andy (he/him): Riversiders, best friends, animal-lovers, and porch enthusiasts. We made this page to share the porches and porch-lounging cats we admire on our morning walks with Andy's very friendly basset hound, Millie. If you see us, feel free to say hi!

Thanks for reading, and we hope you enjoy our page!
[Pictured: Robin's indoor cats Belle and Leo, Andy's gone-but-not-forgotten PorchCat Casey, and Andy's PorchHound Millie.]

Our first nighttime (well, dusk I suppose) porch post! Just looking at it you can hear the crickets start to sing, imagining your friends live here and have invited you over for a dinner party. You stand in the glow of their porch light for a moment, remembering that if you're lucky, their cat will be feeling social and spend the evening in your lap!

Submitted by Dugan Nash, who doesn't own this porch but lives down the street and thought "Daaaaang that's a nice porch. I ought to send it in to that PorchCat page so everyone can admire it". And then he did. Well done, bro.

Many people ask why I take pictures of these majestic beasts known as PorchCat. This is what I tell them:

'Cause he's my best friend, he's my pal; he's my homeboy--my rotten soldier... he's my sweet cheese--my good-time boy!

And, honestly? I think that's enough.

This is Regional Supervisor of Gardening, Esmeralda. At least we're pretty sure that's her name, but it's been so long since she took up the position that asking your boss for her name now is just too awkward.

Double Feature: PAINTED PORCH STEPS!
Y'all might have noticed by now that we like porches with art (and swings, and plants, and of course cats). Well we especially love porches that ARE art, and Riverside as usual does not disappoint!

If you're proud of your porch (artsy or otherwise), send us a picture! We can post it with attribution or anonymously, whichever you prefer. We always edit out house numbers for the security of our neighbors. ☺️

Sorry, what's that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of my blender making a piña colada. This is a very chill porch, meant for chilling on with chill people and chilled drinks. Fantastic.
