I decided to read for awhile in the backyard and took the cats with me. We had a nice time.

BW likes to bug the other cats, and Nanaimo's ears have mysteriously disappeared.

Poor Bella does not go outside.


I lost my spot!


Playing chase.


Grandpa Kikeli joins in the fun.

Custard visits and so does grumpy Vayna.



Only cat from the house not pictured is Shifty. He was inside sleeping and missed the open door, haha. It took like ten minutes to get Nanaimo outside. He kept sniffing and backing away and sniffing. He's been outside several times before but he was acting like it was a trap or something! Anyway we had a nice time. The weather was perfect.

Looks like everybody was having a pretty good time!! Great shots as always.

Alisha,

I'm glad you get "some" bit of time to relax. Nice pictures as always.

How nice a day you all had! Except for Nanaimo when BW was bothering him. (I could probably use that pic in an article on cat body language. )

Is Custard one of the strays?

Time flies; Kikeli is getting on to be "grandpa" age. He must be around 8 years old by now.

BW bugs Nanaimo a lot which is why I think Nanaimo was spraying for awhile. That was terrible. BW also bugs his siblings and most surprisingly, VAYNA! I mean gosh, that takes guts. She doesn't like it and she will run away but she also puts him in his place. Everyone loves Kikeli, he is definitely a parent figure to all the cats except Nanaimo, whom he dominates. Poor Nanaimo. Anyway gosh I don't think Kikeli is that old yet. It's hard to say really. The vet said three when he was neutered so he must be 5 1/2 now. Maybe not a grandpa but he kinda seems like it with all these young cats around! He's such a cuddle bug, I enjoy him a lot.
