The pictures say it all really :


My surfing buddy Sunny .... who hates a cuddle ... NOT!











... yes ... I AM gorgeous ... you know it, I know it .... and we both know I can carry off this festive boa with style.

(Gomez of course!)












.... Sunny .... being photogenic .... I swear it's genetic.

Absolutely gorgeous!

This is where I would normally say 'the cat's are ok too' But this isn't .org so I won't lol.

I love 'em!!!

yeah! (added a 3rd pic. )


... everyone looks ugly next to our 'boys' ....

I'll post some more ...


They're allowed free range of our front and back garden ... and if you notice on their collars, they've got 'locators' that work up to 100m in the open or around 50m through walls....

They're also pretty bidable cats, and will come if called, and even sit for you. .... also they're more 'pride' minded ...akin to lions and consequently respond to pack dynamics like dogs, than independant minded like your typical domestic cat.


I'm alpha , (just ), Gomez is beta ( the thinker and secondary leader) but assumes the alpha role when I'm not about ... Carol is definitely the matriach and consequently the cats 'expect' her to feed them, pamper them, and take their nonsense too!!
Sunny is the baby of the 'pride' ... but also the enforcer (thug) when it comes to other cats entering their territory. Gomez identifies the threat, takes his lead from my vibe, or sets the mood if I'm not about ... then sends Sunny out to do his bidding!



... both are way more intelligent than your average moggy. .... and because Carol and I talk to them and treat them as you would your own kids, they tend to behave quite responsibly ..... such as stopping at the front gate if unaccompanied, or greeting visitors when I ask them to.

We've had cats and dogs all our lives and heard the stories about Siamese, but actually raising them from kittens to mature cats has been a revelation!

Best. Pets. Ever. ... and sooooo much part of the family.

Thats not the most flattering pic of you on the wall jeff

I hope you get that iron you've been hoping for this Christmas Mogs.

what's the point? .... the cats steal my shirts and crush them anyway .....



a particulary fetching authentic Hawiian one was commandeered by them for shade purposes two summers ago....

great pictures! and I know the feeling of cats comandeering your belongings

Sunny being the 'enforcer' ........ the other cat bolted seconds later.





note his ridged back, flexed forelegs and fluffed tail;








..... and Sunny on guard duties midwinter ...

Snow cats .... heading for the warmth.







Sun cats ..... not heading anywhere.
