animal lovers... cat squad pics

Since I haven't done so in a while and was cleaning out pictures, I thought it might be fun to share some of the most recent pics of the cats. I'm also taking a break from editing Book 20 of Starfire Angels: Forgotten Worlds. The first round of edits is halfway done and different than most first rounds of edits--I'm hitting the ground running as if already in my usual second round of edits.

Anway, here's a series of cat pics for the animal lovers:

The old boy has become pretty tolerant of Bilbo.

a rare moment of our torbie tolerating being close
to one of the boys (torties/torbies are always girls)

Bilbo content in daddy's arms

The two tuxedos (blue and brown) bird watching

They love their catio, which has an opening so they can
 freely move in and out between the house and the catio.
Only the two big boys--the old Siamese and Bilbo--lay in the hammocks.

The trio of oldsters. They love the cat cabinet (which was designed
for litter boxes but which became their toy box and also their window
ledge, with a pet pad added for comfort).

Bilbo has fully settled in. He's been with us for over eight months and it's like he's always been here. Ironically, the one cat that liked him least--the oldest, our Siamese--is the one usually snuggling next to him, albeit reluctantly. Nevertheless, the Siamese is the most likely to allow Bilbo to lay next to him.

And Bilbo is a daddy's boy (the person holding him in the one pic).
