Cat-Obsessed

Ok, so I admit it. I may be a bit over-zealous with the camera since Niko’s arrival, but I just can’t help it. He’s so darn cute, and really very rambunctious!

Our cat, Violet, has always been fascinated with our various residential aquatic environments and has been known to drink from fish bowls directly or, when that’s not an option, dipping her paw into the water and licking the yummy fish-flavored water off. Mmm. Well, Niko is an avid student, here learning from the Master:

Niko: Our New Cat

It has been nearly one year since the passing of our beloved cats, Shogi and Barney. Our remaining cat, Violet, has become very affectionate since then and, although we really enjoy her attention, we felt that it was time to find a comrade for her. To that end, we paid a visit to the LA County Animal Shelter in Downey and found an adorable, young, black cat who we subsequently named Niko Niko, which means “smile” in Japanese.

He’s a snuggle-muffin, head-butts us, plays with the dogs, and is generally a good egg. Violet was fairly peeved at first but, now, she’s taken a liking to the little fellow and was seen frolicking with him. It seems that, so far anyway, we’ve picked a winner.

Here are some early pictures:

Dog Party – Part 2

Our dear friends Luke and Melanie were away for about 10 days and, while we were gone, we had the pleasure of playing host to their two dogs, Mabel and Stella. Last Friday, they were joined by Shadow, our friend DonnaJean’s dog. So, with our two dogs we had a pack of 5 furry beasties running wild in the house. Truthfully, it was a pleasure. All the dogs got along well, and there were very few altercations. I felt moved to try and take a pic with all 5 dogs, so here are my best efforts:
