Chloe and Dusty

Chloe and Dusty

Chloe is the mixed tabby cat that showed up with her three kittens shortly after we moved in back in 2005. She has some orange that you can see on her hind quarters, but she has excellent camouflage for the pine bark mulch. One of her kittens looked like a siamese. We were able to find a home for him, but the two orange tabbies, Rusty and Dusty, are still with us. Here Dusty, the pale male, is trying to blend in with some of the native stone we use for landscaping. He’s pretty skittish, but sometimes he lies so quietly that you can walk right by him without even seeing him.

Isn’t there a story that if you dip someone’s hand in water while they’re sleeping, they will pee? We couldn’t prove the story this time because Zoe’s front paw didn’t actually touch the water left over from watering a fern. But it was close. Zeke is making sure the fox doesn’t come around unannounced.

Zoe's little pink tongue

Zoe’s little pink tongue

Zoe shows his tongue a lot when he sleeps. Does that mean his tongue is too big? Did he go through the line twice when they gave out tongues? Or is he always just giving everyone a raspberry?

I inherited a chair from my parents and we put it in our bedroom. It has become a popular place for napping.

But Zoe is not the only one to like it.
