ted lost his fight with cancer today.

nora & me

i know, i don’t post many pictures of myself. i’m humble, that way. to appease those who don’t like this policy - here’s a few shots with my girl-kitty, nora.

no hi-res versions. more therapy is needed, first.

kitties in the sun

posted up a flickr photoset of cat pictures we took sunday. it was sunny for a time, and we opened the blinds in the bedroom, which drew the cats to the bed like … cathair to … everything.

ted doesn’t want us to go; falcon oblivious

as we prepare to visit my family for christmas, ted either just wanted to sleep on top of something, or didn’t want us to go:

whereas falcon is just surprised to see the camera.

it’s okay, we’ve got a cat-sitter coming over to take care of the whole bunch (and the dog and the fish) while we’re away.

falcon on the dogbed

yes, that’s way more bed than this tiny cat needs. but he doesn’t seem to mind.

where does this leave the dog? read more to find out.

thankfully the dog doesn’t mind. she loves her brother, even though he’s a goof.

more falcon

more falcon. this time, sleeping next to me on the couch. he looks happy. i tend to give off a lot of heat.

btw… he passed his audition.

falcon

so, as most people who know me would be aware, we foster kittens. we’ve had probably close to 200 foster kittens through our home. we volunteer for a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter in arlington, wa called Purrfect Pals.

we recently fostered a group of 8 kittens. carrie got to name them — and what she came up with quickly were naming the boys after fords, and the girls after chevrolets.

one of the boys, pictured here, is “falcon.” falcon is currently … “auditioning.” we think he may make a good addition to our home. (how far he is through the “auditioning” process depends on who you ask, and how cheeky i’m acting when i reply.)

so far, we’ve only kept 2 cats out of hundreds: teddy and nora.
