Cats still love ladders


Cats still love ladders, originally uploaded by Kevin Steele.

I took out the ladder and set it up and almost immediately both cats went up.

Fiddy. He’s the new cat in town.

I think it’s time to re-introduce the main cat cast around here. The street camera has a bunch of exposures in it already, so I’m not slipping back to nothing-but-cats, but I can’t always predict when cat shots will happen.

Somewhere between four and five, Fiddy kittened with my brother in Saskatoon, but soon became my mother's cat.

Fiddy is a maine coone and had been an outdoor cat, a hunter and a fighter. He is adapting to being an indoor cat.

Fiddy and Toby are friends, as Toby was easily impressed by Fiddy’s six foot leaps.

He’d like to make friends with Xena, and keeps trying, but he doesn’t have the right moves yet.

Friday Cat Blogging, Hurry!

A long-tradition in the blogging community is Furry Friday, otherwise known as Friday Cat Blogging. I've got a tiny group on flickr for this, Friday Cat Blogging. Since I've been remiss in adding to my regular blogs since joining flickr, here we go with another image of Hurry. Really, he is a beautiful kitten/cat, but he is nowhere near as dignified as my recent photos have shown.
