Begging For Petting

Rusty is a great “touchy-feely” guy.  He lets me know when he’s ready for petting.  This happens quite a lot.

Is he cute, or what?

Good Idea

Rusty is a smart cat.  That brain of his is always working.  Sometimes he gets his tongue in on that action.  It must really be an extra good idea this time.

Rusty-that is a good idea

Napping Expert

Patches knows how to nap well.  She is the expert.  She can teach younger cats how to do it because she is so experienced!

Patches-napping

Napping on a soft cushion on the patio is just the right thing to do on this day.

Uh oh! I think I disturbed her. Her eyes are starting to open. I don't want to have her lose her concentration.

Napping does take lots of concentration.  I guess that’s one of the things she would teach kittens.

Mutual Grooming

 

Rusty and Romeo were very compatible.  Grooming was an essential part of their daily routine.

Sunbathing Is A Normal Pastime

Somehow, cats know the “just right” place to get their UV rays.

Rusty-sunbathing

Sorry I disturbed you, Rusty.  You can lie down again now.

After The Nap And The Yawn…

…comes the bath.

Trying Out A New Napping Spot

I recently received a new delivery of Bath and Body Works products.

I can’t decide if the residual odors, or the size, or attractive blue color of the cozy-looking box was responsible for Rusty’s affinity to it.

Maybe all of the above.

Anyway, just as I was going to move away to let him continue his beautiful nap, he yawned.

Rusty, caught you yawning

Looking Back in Time

As you may remember, Romeo is no longer with us.  I was looking at some past photos and came up with the one below.

It was a rare occurrence when Patches would accept Romeo being so close to her.

Romeo-Patches together

Togetherness can be a good thing.

The Great Divide

At opposite ends.  Romeo and Patches seem to have reached an agreement on the couch.
