This is Hunter, named for the late, great Hunter S Thompson. His interests include bits of grated cheese that have fallen on the floor, his brother Ralph, and falling over onto one side so that people can tickle his chin. Here he’s pictured vigorously defending a pair of stinky Converse shoes against some imaginary foe.

Bailey is a four-week old American Shorthair male kitten. Both his parents are champion cats (see all the ribbons behind him!). This photo was taken on the day that I went to the breeder to choose which kitten I wanted. I guess his look says how excited he is to be coming home with me! I’m thrilled as well!

We are fostering a litter of kittens. These are them at six and a half weeks old. They are so cute and amazingly are all different colors!
