Pets

Always glad to show off the clowder...I'm lucky to have some handsome cats (and I tell them so daily).

Wimsey Whyte-Cat, who just had a birthday on Twelfthnight.
He has reached the grand age of five years old and is in his prime.

Riktor-Pye...
He's also in his prime at nine years old.

D'Artagnan...posing on the...I mean OUR car. He puts on the regal act...hard to catch him in a moment of derpiness...

...and baby Raven. This is her "Blair Witch" pic...but she's not sorry for anything.

Waiting at the Bridge for us...
Esme- here she's doin' the Monkey.
"She's a kittycat...and she dance dance dance and she dance dance dance."
We lost her last year due to CRF. She was able to give us a couple more months after being diagnosed as terminal...but the Bridge called and she had to go.

And finally, baby Shimrod, who was taken from us far too young.
I have a bunch of pics of him that I'm not sure what to do with. He was such a sweet boy...had 'familiar' potential.

A lot of black cats, I know. They're easier to tell apart in person and when you know them.
I adopt black cats almost exclusively (Wimsey adopted ME) because they are the most abused, most euthanized and least adopted of the cats.
I can't save them all...but I can give some of them a good forever home.

I don't have pics of Misha the Alpha-cat or his beloved Kaminari...but they too were black cats...Misha was a big boy, tall, long-legged and built like a cheetah.
That cat had an opinion on EVERYTHING, the voice of a a Siamese and the lungs of an operatic tenor. My house was too quiet when he was gone...
Kami was smaller and built more like a tiger...and every inch was STUFFED with personality.
She was my supervisor, social director, meat inspector, border patrol and Misha's sidekick and backup. So many roles that little cat filled...
I miss them.
