Meet More Cats

This is Tigger, the eldest of the kitties in our cat collection. She is ~15 years old and still going strong. She loves a good petting session, but will not tolerate being picked up and held. She came to us from an old boyfriend's cat when it had kittens.

Another shot of Jewel, adopted in 1997 from our local shelter as a grown kitty so is of unknown age...possibly the sweetest cat in the world.
This is Shade - Evening Shade is her 'formal' name. She was a feral kitten and when I brought her home she lived under my bed for the first several months, only making appearances in the evenings. Her brother, Oscar, didn't get the memo about the Kitty Photo Shoot on this day, so he will be absent from the lineup. He is also solid black, but with long hair. They are ~5 years old.

This is our very odd cat, Halley. She is grey tabby mixed with orange tabby. Her personality is very interesting, and she is very demanding when it comes to getting attention from her humans. She is ~ 4 years old, came from a litter of kittens a co-worker brought into the office...

This is Felix, Calyx's sister. She is watching a squirrel in our elm tree, and right after I clicked this picture she ran up the tree after it. She is a very busy cat, completely the opposite of her brother. She doesn't require much attention, but if Calyx is in the house resting (his favorite activity), she will usually find him and curl up with him.

Here's Calyx again. This is the cutest photo I have of him to date. While his sister was busy chasing a squirrel in a tree, he gave a big yawn and flopped over for a nap.

That wraps up the kitty lineup - sans Oscar. I'll try to convice him to sit still long enough for me to take a picture of him...

And now I will yawn, flop over and go to sleep.
