Cold Weather Sleeping

How does she do that?

[Editor: Income is attempting to emulate the circle of his Aunt Dot, but is stuck with a pike position. The flash highlights the lighter guard hairs]

The Lone Ranger 2003-2010

She was the alpha female for the ferals. I knew something was wrong last Spring when she didn’t have any kittens, having consistently produced two every season. She has been getting thin lately, and was probably taken by a respiratory infection.

Tacky Driveway

You looking at me?

[Editor: Adolf is becoming a very big cat. Some of it is his winter coat, but there’s muscle underneath. The falling camphor berries are tacky and this is next to the driveway…]

Sunset Driveway

I’m ready for my close-up.

[Editor: I was looking for Adolf when Lucrezia decided to pose. Alas the flash went off as the light was marginal due to the overcast. It was sunset and she is in the driveway…

Washing Up

Rasp, rasp, rasp, rasp…

[Editor: Lucrezia grooming in anticipation of dinner.]

He Moves

Meow, meow, meow, meow…

[Editor: Yes, a new picture of Vinnie moving about to stay warm. I didn’t see any snow early this morning but it was drizzling all evening into the night. They are expecting wind chills near zero and I believe it. Before the rain it got up to 60°, but we won’t see that again until some time next week.

He Sings

Meow, meow, meow, meow…

[Editor: I’m using an old picture of Vinnie because the batteries died as I was attempting to take a new one. Vinnie talks to me, which is very unusual for the ferals, The toms will howl at each other, but few of them actually vocalize at all. When I’m feeding them in the afternoon, Vinnie wanders around making normal cat meows. Oh, he still considers me the ax murderer, but meowing is odd behavior for the “pride”.

Merry Catmas!

HO! … Ho? … Whatever.

[Editor: A rerun showing as close as I will ever get to putting antlers or a hat on any of the cats.

Remembering the Sun

It will be back, right?

[Editor: Excise from late summer of ’08 because it is cold, damp, and miserable around here, and Real Life is being really time-consuming.

Real Life Re-Run

Mmm…Zzz…[snort]

[Editor: Real life as reduced the amount of time I have had near a computer, and cold weather has the cats in hiding, so here’s Excise, Income and Property when they were still cute. Hopefully things will calm down by next week.]

Chilling Out

No more about Moscow!

[Editor: It might be 5° warmer than Moscow, but the koshki and koty are not happy campers. Sox is attempting to absorb as much heat from the electric radiator as possible. For those wondering: Income, Excise, Sox, Dot, Property, with Ringo in the back.]
