Here’s our menagerie. [Gracie May](http://static.flickr.com/44/128153126_07a8e1d7bd.jpg?v=0), our oldest and laziest cat. [Leo](http://static.flickr.com/49/128153127_869f2a6e8f.jpg?v=0) the chickenhearted. Thinks he’s a tough guy but runs and hides from the other cats. [Roxie](http://static.flickr.com/54/128153128_03d19fcba8.jpg?v=0), just came in from the rain. [Roscoe](http://static.flickr.com/41/121020310_0244188e29.jpg?v=0), he was found as a feral kitten but has turned into a lover. [Bella](http://static.flickr.com/48/128153125_f5f32a5133.jpg?v=0) is the youngest, we just had her fixed. She loves to terrorized the other 4. And for the aaahh factor, [Roxie](http://static.flickr.com/38/128153124_654cb1e618.jpg?v=0) and [Bella](http://static.flickr.com/54/128153123_fb85b38450.jpg?v=0) as kittens. That is Blake, my youngest grandson with Bella. ---

I finally sync’d my Treo last week, so I can play now too. 😃 First, some [introductions](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/ThreeCoolCats.JPG). From left to right, Dexter (aka Pookie), Phoenix (aka Nini), and Tallulah (aka Lulie). Next we have a demonstration of [feline team-bedmaking skills](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/MakingTheBed.JPG), approximately 2 minutes after my putting clean sheets on the bed and walking out of the room to check on the quilt in the dryer. In this series you will find a demonstration of the highly popular passtime of manipulating Pookie into providing a bath. (Bonus: A cameo appearance of Mrs. Dewgrrl can be seen while solo-nap training in the background) [ol] [li][The sincere though ulteriorly motivated loving approach.](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/ManipulatingPookie1.JPG)[/li][li][The consistently predictable payoff.](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/ManipulatingPookie2.JPG)[/li][li][The sobering insight that one has been taken advantage of.](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/ManipulatingPookie3.JPG)[/li][/ol] Nini is the baby, and I found her and her mother in our toolshed when she was just a kitten. Her mother was much too fast for me, but I was able to catch Nini. She seemed more than young enough to tame, but she has grown up with a decisive distrust for humans. [This](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/HumansAreEvil.JPG) is about as close as I can get (and as undeniably ‘loving’ as she gets) unless the other cats are very nearby. Of course there is no lack of [love and affection](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/LovingUnclePookie.JPG) between Nini and the other felines of the house. An action shot of by far the cutest interspecies [doubles-napping team](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/DoublesNapping.JPG) in the universe. Tallulah is the talkative one in the house, so I’ve taken the liberty of transcribing a couple of her dictations… “Thanks so much for coming this fine evening. For my last number, I’d like to play [Hairball Blues](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/HairballBlues.JPG) for you.” “[Patience, Grasshopper.](http://home.mindspring.com/~honeydewgrrl/PlottingEscape.JPG) You too can experience the brief euphoric freedom that is The Front Yard, but you must first match your breathing to the rhythm of life and learn to choose your opportunities wisely.” ---

> [@indecisive1](#): > > **Mr. Bus Guy** Your kitties are wonderful. Evil Fat Scarlett really stays in character! But I want to comment on your furniture. WOW I say. Very fun and wacky sofas. Thanks. Blame mom for that. I inherited the thing, and the matching chair from her, and we keep it in the front room just to fill up space. Cuervo has taken it over, so we’re not too picky about what he does with it. Anyone that sits there is required to pay him with neck scritches. ---

OK guys… I double-dog dare any of you to find a cuter ADULT cat than my Charlie, upside down. [![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v20/PapSett/My%20Babies/TheKids2086.jpg) ](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v20/PapSett/My%20Babies/TheKids2086.jpg) And if his sheer cuteness doesn’t get ya, how about his story? He was rescued from an abandoned burning house a little over a year ago, and the firefighters took him to our city animal shelter. As is their usual, they did not offer him treatment, leaving him in a cage, badly burned, for 5 days, waiting for his owner to show up and claim him. No one came, and Charlie was scheduled for euthanasia. Enter PAWS, a local organization that goes to the shelters and rescues cats about to loose the last of their 9 lives. The arrived on the day Charlie was to be euthanized, and he had such a sweet disposition, despite being in horrific pain, they took him. It took 5 months of rehab to get him ready for adoption, but even when he was put up for a new home, no one wanted him because he has some ugly scars on his back and part of an ear burned off. I came in, not looking for a cat at all (I went to buy dog food… go figure.) and Charlie and I just clicked. he came home with me, and is the best cat ever.
