Now and Then

You may have seen this post on The Dodo via Facebook with pictures of cats recreating pictures from their kittenhood.

I thought it was really sweet, but then the other day, Yukon and Nick gave me a wonderful example!

After seven years I guess Nick still makes a good pillow.

Warm Hearts

It warms our heart to see two kitties bum to bum!

Especially two that don't usually sit together.

It certainly calls for a picture!

Thanks for stopping by!

Two Tabbies on Tuesday, Yes, But...

One is NOT tailless...

Nick is, after all, a patched tabby.

Thanks for stopping by!

Flashback Friday - Kits in Arms

October 9, 2008

is when this picture was taken.

Owen is just a couple months younger than Snafu.

I especially love Snafu's wispy tail and gray eyes.

Thanks for stopping by!

This Was Hard to Believe!

So I had to take several pictures.

Shortly after taking this Nick started grooming Yukon. It did not end well. Hissing was involved, so I intervened. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Two Tailess Tabbies on Tuesday

Owen and Yukon cuddling

I was putting together some pictures for future blog posts and realized that most of them had Yukon in them! Out of seven cats and four dogs, he is just so damn cute and endlessly photogenic! I was able to find Yukon free pictures for tomorrows post.

Thanks for stopping by!

Two Cat Tuesday - Cheek to Cheek

BJ (on the left) and Wizard (on the right) are sharing a coveted spot

 in front of the window on the back of the couch.

Back in the day when BJ was an indoor/outdoor kitty, 

Wizard would rush up to greet him when he first came in the house for the evening.

All he'd do is sniff him all over, probably getting a "scent" of where BJ had been in the great outdoors.

 BJ didn't seem to mind it.

BJ is our oldest kitty at 12 years old and Wizard is at least 8, although we don't know his exact age.

Two Cat Tuesday - A Lit'l Dis and a Lit'l Dat

"Fine!"

"May I PLEASE go in the house YOUR MAJESTY?"

"Hmmmm...I'll take it into consideration, and get back to you."

Two Tailess Tabbies Tocked on Tuesday

Yukon and Owen

I have trouble deciding which impossibly adorable Yukon and Owen picture to use.

Their sweetness is neverending...

Two Girls

Just a couple of girls lounging around...

(Added later) P.S. Buzz is one of our three Terriers. She is a Jack Russell Terrier not often pictured on Co9T blog because she doesn't usually get along with the kitties. She has really, really mellowed out in her senior years (she is 10 now).

Two Cat Tuesday: Match Makers

We played Match Maker this summer!

On two occasions we had the happy opportunity to find kittens for humans in need.

Early this summer, DP's brother and sister-in-law were ready to open their hearts to a new beginning after their 14 year old calico passed away last winter. They were hoping for another calico and we convinced them to get two so they'd have each other.

DP searched and searched until finally she found a tortico and her sister. When asked if they'd be okay with that coloring they replied, "You know we're going to love any of them to pieces!" Good answer!

So here is Gracie and Lily who were born in Maine and now live in New Hampshire.

Then my boss's Silver Bangal had an unexpected batch of kittens. Unexpected because this is her second litter this year!

Here is Bella with her six kittens.

We have some friends who have two male cats. One is a 16 year old named Cyrus and the other is a rambunctious 3 year old name Sushi looking to play a lot more often than his elder sibling can deal with. So these smart humans decided to get Sushi a playmate of his own. We suggested a girl might be in order and told them of my boss's kittens. Bella hadn't even had the kittens yet and our friends agreed they'd wait to get one from Bella's litter.

We visited the kittens at three weeks and took lots of pictures to show our friends who live a couple hours away. Which kitten would they choose? Luckily, Bella had 5 girls and one boy.

The kittens were well socialized and handled a lot by sticky ones.

These two girls are twins.

A couple weeks later, our friends came up for a visit to pick out their own kitten, but when they saw them all, they couldn't decide which one so they got TWO!

Meet Lily and Maizy, the twins!

There are three kittens left, if anyone is interested!

All girls are settled in and happy in their new homes with loving, doting humans to attend their every need.

Life is Good!

Two Cat Tuesday - Nick and BJ

Two Guard Cats

BJ and Nick are on alert for "introoders,"

 which in this case would be Rocky, one of our neighbor's cats.

Rocky is an unneutered male who likes to claim our sheds as part of his territory, leaving a lovely scent behind. In defense, Nick likes to leave his lovely scent inside our house.

Lavender, it's not...

Short of keeping Nick doped up on Amitriptyline, we manage the problem okay with all the usual products. Nick has such a bright and happy personality when he's not doped up. We've missed him and are glad to have him back to his old self.

The new cat tree provides many more opportunities

for fun photos like this one.

 Let's get an aerial view...

Of course I barely got this shot before Owen got up.
