A kitteh collage!
These are our babies....The second family as it were since the human ones are long since flown from the nest....
On top of course is Andy the tiger cub. He must have Egyptian Mau in him because he has the deepest tabby markings on him that I have ever seen and he is spotted on his lower body and belly.
The next, the tuxedo (yes that is the official name for the coloring), is Marley. He really has no idea he is a cat. We liberated him from the Tacoma Humane society (bailed him out of the joint!) He has not a stitch of kitty pride, and he sometimes does not land on his feet though he is an incredibly agile and graceful kitteh outside, and an amazing and prolific big game hunter, who mostly eats his entire prey. Tuxedos in my experience make some of the friendliest cats there are, and Marls, or Marlboro as I often call him is no exception!
Lastly is good old Sammers (all of perhaps 2 years). The joke was that his name is "Sambo Davis Junior", as he is all black and beautiful. He is damn near a 17 pounder and somewhat pudgy, but fast as greased lightening and extremely intelligent, far beyond the other two who seem fairly average. He thinks he is the other two's mother. He has raised first Marley and now Andy and he grooms them and is so patient with them, as he could easily kill or cause great harm to either one. We didn't get him as a kitten so his personally is a bit odd, but he is quite friendly more so when he is outside. He is a big lumox, and is forever sending things crashing to the ground in the effort to find a catbird's seat to sleep or lay on.
So there I have let you in on our second set of kids. If you can't tell I am sure getting tired of the RW, even if I can't seem to quit! My name is Mark and I am a RW addict!
Ignore the date stamp! I get so tired of resetting the time every time that stupid thing needs new batteries!
