Kiowa, 12, an approval-seeking life form.   Kiowa left the pack in February, 2006.
























    Flower, queen of all she surveys,  now 15.


















      Rob and "The Viz"

      His full name is "The Visitor".  He just wandered down the drive one day as a young cat to visit.  He apparently liked the digs and so applied for, and was immediately granted, permanent resident status.    An absolutley placid cat, he has never been heard to growl or hiss.  The two smaller female cats chase him  around constantly.  He doesn't seem to mind.  He may be a little dull of wit.
       


















Smudge nesting in Martha's Jeans.  Smudge is 10 years old but weighs only 5 lbs. or about the size of a 12 week old cat.  We got her from the supermarket where two boys were playing catch with her.  She's sorta shy and nervous.

   Flower as a kitten in her favorite spot. Monterey, May 1992















  The Viz with his head stuck in the window.  He does this alot.











We recently discovered a small feral cat was robbing dog food  from the garage.  After several weeks of trying we finally trapped him in the garage.   After that he hid under equipment for several weeks until finally deciding we were ok.  Long conversations (and Tuna) helped.

















Turns out he's inquisitive.



















 Likes hi tech.

















  In the right light, oddly resembles BB King.
















  But is still a little shy.



  We named him "Vger"  (Trekkies will get it)
