Do you have a photo of Archie and Charlie together? I’m still having trouble telling them apart. thanks.
I have a few!

Basically, Charlie is darker and has bolder stripes, and also has a lot more white.

Also, the 2012 entry is pretty epic. Pigs up to (unseen) shenanigans and whatnot. And look at all those comments! The conversation about how to tell George and Gracie apart, and potential underpinnings of the clothing variety, is hilarious.
Ah, those were the days! I have a ton of “life around Crooked Acre” pics to share (and maybe I’ll do that soon!), but I do sometimes miss the days with the pigs, the chickens, and the dogs.
Side note: Our current house is located about 10 minutes from Crooked Acres, and I drive by there every few weeks. Recently I drove by and discovered that the current owners have a couple of HORSES in the back forty! I found that interesting.

Francesca, lounging on the Mister Boogers pillow, in (well, near) the sun.
Nacho atop the air purifier, trying to look innocent.
Gus, Mike and Lalo enjoy that window hammock.
Gus gives me the ol’ chomperoo.
Nacho’s got a very thin ring of blue around her eyes, but at this point I’m guessing they’re going to end up a very pretty green.
“Lady, GIVE me that camera, I needs to take a selfie!” Lalo, the aspiring photographer.
Saul appears to be in the midst of an existential crisis.
Francesca has a think.
Kim’s all “This bed is comfy, where ya been hiding it?!”
I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet (it’s been a busy week for me), but the boys are going for their neuters at the end of next week. The girls are scheduled for their spays in mid-November. At this point, only Lalo and Gus are spoken for. Hopefully families for the others will show up (but also, I haven’t been “advertising” them either, so I suppose I should get my act together and start doing that!)

Archie’s got his Diet Mountain Lightning (I believe this is a Mountain Dew knockoff, but as I’m not the one who drinks it, I can’t swear to that) and his (un)comfy table, and so he’s happy to snooze the day away.

Posted on social media (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr) yesterday.
5 out of 6 kittens (Nacho was across the room). In the window hammock: Gus, Lalo, and Mike (standing on the windowsill). In the crown bed: Francesca. And Saul on the little scratcher/tree.
Throw Back Thursday: Back in 2015, when I had bottle babies Skinny Pete (pictured), Badger and Combo, I used rice socks for the first time (rice in a sock, warmed up in a microwave.) All three kittens liked the rice socks, but Skinny Pete LOVED hers, and I often found her snoozing atop one of the socks.

I have no idea why my feet are suddenly so interesting (they’re certainly not new slippers), but the kittens had to come sniff ’em all over. Also, Mike has a happy.
Throw Back Thursday: In 2015, we had a litter of kittens named after swimmers (because they were rescued from a puddle in a storm). I posted a picture, someone pointed out that it looked like an album cover, and then I amused myself.

I don’t know what substance these kittens are on, but they are WILD this afternoon.
Nacho’s keeping an eye on me. Someone’s gotta!
Good night innernets. (Nacho, on the Fancy Sofa.)

Don’t the kittens usually get spayed/neutered at the same time? That’s quite a delay for the girls this time isn’t it?
Obviously, Archie isn’t drinking any of that Mtn Lightning or he wouldn’t be snoozing. He’d be having zoomies!
They do usually get spayed/neutered at the same time. They were actually all originally scheduled for mid-November, but since neuters are much easier and faster than spays, they were able to shift the boys to an earlier date.
This is hilarious because I read that question/comment/request about Charlie & Archie and thought, “What? They don’t look anything alike!” and then you posted the pictures and thought “OMG! They look SO MUCH ALIKE!” LOLOLOL
Same!! Haha
If it helps any, I thought the exact same thing! They totally look like they could be father and son!
Today I feel a bit like Saul. That is, in the midst of an existential crisis. But I’m not in a crinkly tunnel. Nor do I have a fish taco truck lurking behind me for snack procurement. And I suspect HIS crisis lasted for about 2 seconds, whereas mine might be longer, haha.
As soon as a Churu was offered, the existential crisis was GONE. I hope your existential crisis does the same!
Thanks for the photos of Archie and Charlie! It was fun seeing the two of them together besides helping me distinguish the two distinguished gentlecats. 🙂
Thanks for reposting the comment about the 10-11-12 entry, because that sent me to the no-longer-neglected duck video, which is exactly what I needed today. I literally said to my monitor, “That one duck is really GETTING IT!!! He figured it out!” It was wonderful. 🙂
