Don’t Try This At Home!

The Skeptic

One more step and…

[Editor: Vinnie is still in full “Axe Murder” mode when he sees me. This is not a good picture because it is cropped at full resolution, while most pictures are cleaned up on reduction. I am well away from him, but he is still on alert for any move in his direction.]

The Follower

Cheese?

[Editor: Adolf has become much calmer since he stopped hanging around with Lucrezia full-time. He isn’t exactly friendly, but he is no longer in full “Axe Murder” mode when he sees me.

Chilly Reception

Who me?

[Editor: This is Tip’s brother on a rare foray into the family area. He is almost never outside, as he adopted a neighbor. He actually has a tiny white tip on his tail, but at the time of the picture he was a bit concerned about the attention the other cats were beginning to show towards him.

Don’t get mad, get even.

Chilly Nap

I want a sweater!

[Editor: The sun moved while Not-Ringo was sleeping, and his companions left without telling him. In the fading light and shade, he actually blends in to near invisibility.

I’m Not Evil

It’s only the black cats that are evil… well, and the fluffy white cats who hang around with evil geniuses… OK, so some people are nervous about calicos… I guess Ted means you have to include the tuxedo cats… but no one thinks brown and beige tabbies are evil.

[Editor: Ted is found at Poor Mouth , and he is proud to be listed with evil cats everywhere. Despite appearances Excise is more of a klutz that evil… I mean: is that face evil? Really? You think so?

The Secret Lair

We’ll get you for this!

[Editor: Lucrezia and Adolf hide in the palm fronds to avoid the sun. They are as charming and friendly as ever.]

Ignore Him

When does the next course arrive?

[Editor: Originally there were others on my neighbor’s patio, but these are the remnants. From the left: Adolf, KT-2 & her kitten, then Spot, the Lone Ranger, and Lucrezia on the left. My neighbor eats early and often puts out scraps. I made a noise to get them to look at me, but that caused the others to bolt, and these guys to turn away by the time the shutter actually worked.]

Mother and Child

When does this child leave?

[Editor: KT-2 is ready for a return to the single life. Weaning is taking longer than she thought.]

New Kit On The Block

What was that?

[Editor: This is KT-2’s addition to the group, a little brown mackerel tabbie with white paws. Doesn’t seem as jumpy as most new kittens.]
