According to a book about creepy things, cats are creepy creatures. People who own more than 1 cat are socially inept and on their way to being a danger to society. The authors comment that people who own 4 or more cats should be watched because they might invite little children into their homes in order to pop them into the oven ... So, we're wicked witches, eh? I've been called worse by angry students. BTW, as you've probably guessed, the book was written by a couple of guys.
On a more serious not, we've gone from a 1-cat household back to a 5-cat household in less than 3 months ... The lovely Lady Orchid, a lilac point Siamese, passed away from cancer in June ... We adopted a white-and-black shelter cat Davey from the Tri-Cities Shelter in Cedar Hill in June when Skittles seemed lonely. However, Davey had been a caged cat for most of 12 months, so he had problems with socializing with people & cats. So, Joy brought in 2 kittens from the feral mothers ... Bojangles, a tuxedo male, and his moggy sister, Margot. (We went with dancers' names this time.) Davey and Skittles play with them -- yes, Davey now acts a bit more like a cat, though he at times beats up on Margot who is smaller than he. Then Joy spotted their calico sister who is MUCH smaller and brought her in last night. I got home from ballet and walked into the cat room -- and there was a teensy kitten on the boxes next to the door ... She sleeps next to human heads. It's a cute habit while a tiny kitten, but we'll have to stop it -- In Texas summers, you don't want furry objects next to your face. Too hot!

May all your dances be happy ones!
Handsome kitty! Congrats on your blog -- and on your busy household. I'd have more than one if my moggie Rascal would tolerate them -- but the vet techs don't call him "Demon Cat" for nothing (she says with scarred - up arms!)
