Felix and Tiki striking one of their typical poses... in my desk chair after I rose for just a moment! Both of them had a great sense of their own beauty and constantly strike poses worthy of any runway model. November 24, 2000

Tiki loved to sit on the back of the couch like this. It gave him a good opportunity to scratch the leather when he inevitably slipped off. Taken in December 2003, note the Christmas tree behind him.

This gives you an idea how long his tail was. When he stretched out he could literally reach more than 3 feet.

Tiki submits reluctantly. Actually, he was being very needy, but as usual is a bit reluctant to be cuddled. He squirms and looks freaked, but purrs the entire time. Silly boy! June 22, 2005

Felix was doing the whiny, needy-cat routine, so Justin picked him up. Doesn't he look thrilled? June 28, 2005.

Mom's latest addition, a very bad boy named Smokey. Here he looks cute and innocent, but if you get within striking distance he'll take your arm off at the elbow.

Mite, a sweet but tough little kitty. Hunter extraordinaire, and miraculous survior of too many harrowing wildlife encounters. She's fearless.

Minniepaws (a/k/a Minnie). Namesake of this computer server you're browsing on now. Beatiful calico with a siamese screechy meow. She escaped from a kennel while we were boarding her once, and survived a month on the lam before someone found her and saw our Lost Pet posters. Proof positive that you can't give up hope!
