The whole gang moved into the linen cupboard before we had a chance
to fill it, so we decided to turn it over to them. Eggy (The grey and white
beauty) has since passed on, and we now have two little orange guys
instead. You'll see them below.
P.S. The tub is not dirty - it's an old house, an old tub, and most of the enamel
is gone, so that it's badly rust stained.

The back of the couch is a popular place

If possible, I think they're even sweeter-looking

Heeeeere's Lucy. It's actually Lucifer, but he's such a scaredy-cat that we
rarely use his formal name. The diminutive seems to suit him better. You guys are going to
think we have a real gender problem at our house - A female dog named Jake, a male cat
we call Lucy, and our lovebirds are Diva and Larry Bird, but Larry just laid a clutch of eggs a
few weeks ago! (3 have hatched so far!) Never a dull moment around our house. We're not sure
why Lucy is so shy. He's the biggest of all our cats (Our "big tub o' goo"), but if the dog tries to
play with him, he runs away to hide, mewling, behind Magic, our littlest cat and only female at the moment.
Although not his mother, she quickly picks up the cudgels in his defence - she goes at Jake with arched
back and full fury!
These are the new kids on the block. Tabasco is on the right
and Bo on the left. We only intended to get one to replace (but never in our hearts) Eggy when he died.
Jim didn't want to split up these brothers,and it's a good thing he suggested we get both
because we each would have chosen a different kitten - Tabasco's my lap-cat-in-training, and
Bo's a real "wildthing" and Jim's favourite as well as Jake's. Bo lets Jake
get away with alot more rough stuff than does Tabasco!
These two (the "evil twins"!) are always in trouble, and if Jake has her way, she's right in the middle of it!
How can you get angry? Most of the time we find it hilarious. If they're destroying one of my plants,
though, that's another story! Tabasco is fascinated by the lovebirds, and although I've caught
him here on film "fishing", it's usually Bo who's interested in the tank. We've discovered
him on top of the aquarium dipping his paws in where they don't belong.
. . . a comfy perch with a great view!
we have Dandy (left) and Magic at
15 years old.
