"You're wearing *that* to work?!?" (January 22)
"You're wearing *that* to work?!?" (January 22)
Pippin is a shoulder cat. He'll make some major leaps to achieve a landing on your shoulder - whether you're wearing a shirt or not. A couple of times, I've had to duck, sending him flying over me to avoid his claws (January 29).
"Hey! There's water in here!" Merry and Pippin "helping" with the laundry - good thing I use color safe bleach (January 30).
After putting away the socks and slacks, Merry and Tillie move in (March 6).
Merry eying the balloons liberated after the August Party (August 13).
Pippin scores a yellow ribbon, and now Merry wants to horn in on the action (13 August).
Pippin goes for a lime green ribbon and balloon (13 August).
Merry taking advantage of a cooling breeze in the laundry room window (21 August).
Tillie roosting on Jonathan's garment shelf. It's a favorite retreat when the housekeepers arrive (25 August).

Pippin likes to burrow under the covers on the bed (02 October).
At first we thought Rudy was feral like Blackie, as he pushed Blackie off the kibble bowl on the back deck. However on this day, a rainy, thundering, cold and windy day, Rudy decided he'd like to eat inside please, and walked in the door. (06 November).
Pippin, complete with demon eyes, helping the packing process (09 November).
This was the shot, taken by Jonathan, that we used for the "found cat" flyers we posted in the neighborhood, and then used it in the "adopt a cat" notice we sent to the church's listserv. We had a couple responses in less than a hour (12 November).
Rudy, demonstrating that he's not feral, snuggles up to Jonathan. He is a real charmer, and was adopted by church member Sue Iri, who named him "Rudy". Up until that time, we called him "Boots", and would have kept him if we only had three cats then (04 December).
SQUIRRELS ! ! ! (19 December).
Xena and Merry sleeping peacably on my lap. Xena seems unaware of the proximity of *another cat* (20 November).
Xena is now aware of Merry, and is less than pleased by the contact. Shortly after I took this snap, she got up hissed and swatted him and ran off. Merry would court Xena, looking to get close to her, although he would chase her if she took off running (20 November).
