They’re all beautiful. 
I thought that the double lure of cardboard boxes and catnip would draw all three of my Calico Horrors together so I could take some photos.
I got adorable pictures of Charlotte and Annie.
Emily, the middle kitty, was less cooperative in spite of all temptations and fled the photo session. I couldn’t get one of all three.
Annie is the spitting image of my Tikva.
Well, did you speak to her agent first? I thought not. :dubious:
PoohBah and Little Bear, who have, sadly, passed away.
Well…
My vicious guard dog Bailey.
Oh, I’m sure I could learn to love…whoa! :eek: Well, most of those dogs.
I’m laughing at the group names like Killer Elite and Calico Horrors.
I started to call Charley “The Calico Horror” or “The Calico Monster” when she was about 3 months old. I still had my elderly cat then, the now-late Lucia, and realized that what was to me a tiny and adorable baby kitten was to poor Lucia a relentless fiend that followed her around and always wanted to play. “Leave the big kitty alone” became a common phrase around the house, to the point that I had separate them to give Lucia a break.
Eventually, I got Emily so Charley would have someone near her own age to play with, and Emily was dubbed The Calico Horror, Part II (Electric Boogaloo). The two little Horrors did play together, but unfortunately for Lucia it was only a couple of weeks later that the tumor in her jaw first appeared and grew so fast that I had to call the vet by November.
Having a Charlotte and an Emily, I started to think about getting an Anne to complete the set last summer. When I found the kitten I wanted, I was already thinking of her as The Calico Horror, Part III (The Revenge)–but Annie has turned out to be the sweetest little thing.
Charley and Em, on the other hand…
Calico Horrors IV: The Fluffening! 
Is that a trick of the light or does Badger have some blue in his right eye? I suspect it’s the latter, he’s like the David Bowie of dogs!
And…what kind of car is that that Badger is sitting in, the yellow one with the manual tranny? I can tell it’s a sports car but I can’t see enough of it to tell what it is.
Yes, Badger’s right eye is half blue, half brown. I call it the Demon Eye. I joke that if he’s looking at you from that side, you know he’s thinking of getting up to no good. The reality is that he’s up to no good regardless of which eye is looking at you. Badger has that black stripe over his left eye, the origin on his name. He was called “Shiner” as a pup.
That’s Olive in the car. That was my Lotus Elise. She loved riding in it to the dog park and learned to anticipate turns and lean into them. She left us too early, just a couple months before we moved to California. We had really hoped she’d get a chance to be a full-time beach dog since she so loved our trips to the Oregon coast, but it wasn’t to be.
Touille, no longer living. She had a wart in the middle of her forehead that my friend Clint says was her Third Eye.
I think I saw him in one of those Star Wars movies.
<waves hand> That’s not the Wookie you’re looking for.
