A Few Of My Buddies.....

To my left was a surprising moment; even more surprising I happened to have my camera with me! They were begging for food through our cat door and was taking pictures when I impulsively held my hand out, and this was the response I got! She was as surprised as I was. She comes around often, feeling safe here. There's another one she hangs out with, the one with the tongue hanging out shown below.










Below is my beloved Tallon, who is currently missing. He is one of three kittens I brought home when I picked my mom up for a two week visit to my house. Mom had been living with my youngest brother Brian for about a year or so and she was coming home with me as planned, for a visit. It also had been planned I'd take the kittens at that time, at about six weeks of age. He
had three dogs and the momma cat and a few other special cats but he needed a home for the three kittens and I had fallen in love with them. So mom and the triplets as I called them moved in, because mom was at my place for less than a week when she asked me to please let her stay. It's very peaceful and pretty here with room for my cat family too. Of course I'd always wanted to take care of my mom when and if the time ever came, which it did. She had a stroke in 2000 which left her with a damaged memory, causing her to require assisted living. She hated the nursing home she'd initially gone into before my brother went to Springfield, Oregon where she was living and packed her up and took her home with him to Spokane, Washington to live with him and his family. Three years or so later in the present, she's been with me now for two years on July 14th, along with Tallon and his brothers.


This is Odie. He's right at two years old to date. He's one of the youngest, yet the biggest! He's an oversized huge love-bug with extremely large claws that he uses to knead my bare skin with when he's affectionate. He sleepwalks directly upon awakening, stumbling around with his eyes barely open and many other cute things.


















Below is an interesting result I got due to a five second delay on my camera. She was sitting there posing while I took pictures, well this one I'd just clicked when suddenly she opened her mouth wide and her tongue cane stretching out- I realized she was yawning impulsively! I think it's a most adorable picture.
