Four cats and a weta

[vilakins]

It's been a while since I posted any photos, so here are some of Claudia, Vic, Jasmin, and Ashley--and a weta one of the cubs brought in last week. The icon BTW is from a photo of Claudia, who often forgot to retract her tongue. I'm sure she doesn't mind being remembered this way. :-)

Four cats and a weta


Three girls together on the heatpad


Claudia and Ashley. Both of these were taken a few weeks before Claudia died.


Vic in a snuggler. We ended up buying three of these because the cats love them so.


Ashley and Jasmin: butter wouldn't melt


A twisted little cat: Jasmin sleeping. I have no idea how she can be comfortable like that, but she is.


Ashley doing her "come and cuddle me" pose. It works every time.


Jasmin looking very like Tessa did. She usually looks like herself but for some reason this and the next photo are very Tessa.


Jasmin in the sphinx pose


A deceased weta one of the cubs brought in. Wetas are native insects, and you may know our SFX company Weta which was did the LOTR work; named after this little guy. I've always liked wetas though my school friends of both sexes were often scared of them. I kept one as a pet for a while, but I don't think apple cores were the right diet. :-P

Thank you for sharing these - they're all lovely! (Well, apart from the weta, which I'd find a bit scary, encountering it unexpectedly! I had no idea the company was named after an actual thing.) A and J are both beautiful cats, aren't they?

I like your icon, too! Muffin often sits with his tongue out, too, though not usually as far as that!

That's a nice picture of Vic in the snuggler - I'm glad that they've been a success: it looks like the sort of thing that you sometimes buy and they won't go near it...

But I did warn that there was a weta! :-)

Claudia did it often, and always made us smile. I only got a few photos of it though, and not very good ones.

We bought one snuggler for Greg's computer chair when he's not using it to keep all the fur off, mostly Vic's and Ashley's, and it was such a success we got two more. They're very reasonable, esp compared to the ghastly price of most pet beds, and washable. I used to have one on my lap for Claudia, who liked the extra comfort, being so bony at the end.
