The Ringo Kid

Crash, what crash?

[Edit: Ringo relaxes in her basket and knows nothing about the mess caused by “someone” attempting to climb a bathrobe left on the vanity. Time to review “kitten proofing procedures”. On the good news front she has figured out the purpose of the pan of granulated clay.]

The Ringo Kid

I wasn’t going to steal it!

[Edit: Ringo refused to stop climbing into the undercarriages of cars, so she’ll have to adapt to the inside. Her name is derived from the case of ringworm she has on her tail, and the fact that I’ve been naming cats for cowboys lately.]

Mittens in the Driveway

Oh, drive around!

[Edit: Mittens and others have found some relief from flea attacks by sleeping in the driveway. Mittens doesn’t believe in moving until you get out of the car and approach on foot.]

Dot Rules!

Fear my power, mortal!

[Edit: Due to a vicious flea outbreak and a totally ineffective product, Dot and Sox spend a lot of time on the dining room table, one of the few flea free areas in the house. I’m getting another product but I can’t risk using it until the beginning of next week, so it has been flea combing twice a day.

Fleas on the inside, fire ants on the outside, and cockroaches everywhere, the joys of the Redneck Riviera.]

Kittens

Bast, but that’s one scary thing!

[Edit: I found these two while moving some stuff scheduled for removal. I’m fairly sure they belong to Lone Ranger.]

Sox

Of course cat hair is good for computers. Why do you think the tops are cat-sized?

[Edit: For territorial reasons Dot & Sox were confined to the computer room until Koshka relented, and now I can’t get them to leave while I’m working.]

Dot

What keyboard? Why would there be a keyboard on my shelf?

[Edit: This is one of my current roommates, last seen as a kitten. She does make it difficult to type.]

Update: Here’s the Baby Picture.

Ovinnik

What is that?

[Edit: In Russian mythology an ovinnik is a barn sprite that looks like a black cat with green eyes. The photo is the result of taking the picture through a glass window with a flash.]

The Kid

Where are the fish?

[Edit: This is the youngest of the feral cats. She hangs around my Mother’s side pond hoping for a fish to commit suicide. The pond is out of the picture.]

C.C.

If you were my friend, you’d cut the rope.
[Edit: Crazy Cat was hand-raised by my Mother and now lives next door. Yes, she’s on a leash.]

Don’t make any sudden moves.

[Edit: Pictures are terrible, but this is the second most senior female and the number 1 rat killer. Her name is based on the white diamond on her forehead.]

What do you mean – the one hour processing is going to take 2 days?

[Edit: New cats next week, if the pictures come out.]

Did someone mention food?

[Edit: Actually that’s all fur, not cat. In Summer, Cal was a much slimmer, black cat.]
