Well, ok, then let me start the ball of yarn rolling. I take a lot of pictures lately of [this guy](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/P4060007.jpg) , but he’s got a small, loyal cult following here, so I feel obligated. That’s the couch in the front room, which he has declared the Safe Haven of Cuervo. For reference, that’s **Mouse** with him. [This](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/aboyandhismouse.jpg) is his first picture with \*\*Mouse. \*\*He grew, **Mouse** did not. [Another on the couch.](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/P4060006.jpg) Yesterday, we had this window open. It’s his [window to the world.](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/P4010005.jpg) He stayed there all day and all night. Some of you gave me some good advice about his bullying problem a few months back. A lot of the problem went away after he was fixed. [Evil Fat Scarlett](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/piggylove.jpg) still picks on him a bit, but he’s gotten much better at defending himself. We find a LOT of gray fur where they’ve skirmished, so obviously, he’s made her more careful. Nevertheless, [this](http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a39/keylimepie630/cat%20pictures/P3170001.jpg) is the picture I thought I’d never get to take. All three kids on the bed at the same time. That’s Marty, who celebrated his 12th birthday April 4th, next to Cuervo. Scarlett’s ears are back because until I walked in the room with the camera, I don’t think she knew he was on the bed. But after I left, peace reigned in the land, so it was ok with her after all. I’ve referred to Ernie - Best Cat Ever, here before. On the table next to the bed is a small framed picture of him. The Beanie on the table guards my glasses when I’m not wearing them. Damn cat’s been dead since '97 and he still has to work! You may all now pile on with your attempts at cuter kitty pics. Cuervo welcomes all comers. ---

my favorite animal in the world (although he can’t take a good picture to save his life)… I give you BRUTUS! [in the wintertime, I wish I could sleep on the heater too.](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d96/surrender_dorothy/sleepycat.jpg) [after a bath](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d96/surrender_dorothy/storybookcat.jpg). That’s a crappy picture, but the cat looked so damn cute and pissed off that I had to try to salvage it in photoshop. [Here](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d96/surrender_dorothy/brutus.jpg) is my puss playing with the dog’s toy rope. It’s the only decent photo we have with his eyes open. I think he’s sensitive to the flash. [here](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d96/surrender_dorothy/brute.jpg) he is being adorable. One of the few where he doesn’t look pissed off. [he likes to steal](http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d96/surrender_dorothy/IMG_0527.jpg) the computer chair. He’s spoiled rotten- usually when he’s on the chair, the human who wants to use the computer either gets a dining room chair or kneels on the floor. ---

Is it fair to be comparing cats to kittens? Spaulding as a kitten would have won this competition hands down, but we’ve got no kitty pics of him cause we had no camera at the time. Consider yourselves lucky. ---

Oo, I have lots! Some of them have been posted in other threads recently. Okay, [here are](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/falckoner/detail?.dir=48d5&.dnm=199a.jpg&.src=ph) [some photos](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/falckoner/detail?.dir=48d5&.dnm=59c4.jpg&.src=ph) of my [roommates’ cats](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/falckoner/detail?.dir=48d5&.dnm=692b.jpg&.src=ph) when they [were kittens.](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/falckoner/detail?.dir=48d5&.dnm=ca44.jpg&.src=ph) They’re bigger now, but I don’t think I have any recent photos.

And finally, [here are](http://www.flickr.com/photos/56969994@N00/121243116/in/set-72057594091571316/) a few [street cats](http://www.flickr.com/photos/56969994@N00/121541792/in/set-72057594091571316/) I saw on my recent [trip to Panama.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/56969994@N00/121541793/in/set-72057594091571316/) **Mr Bus Guy** , Cuervo’s gotten so big! Glad to hear he’s standing up for himself these days. Did he ever get over his Beanie Baby, uh, infatuation? And on preview, **Kalhoun** , that kitten in a flower basket may be the cutest thing on earth. ---
