I wish this was a clearer picture, but here we have Fleur leaping from the back of the couch to the top of the scratcher as Beauregard looks on.
Fleur never needs a reason to put on that floof tail; I swear she floofs it at the drop of a hat.
Here comes Henri, climbing up the side of the scratcher as Beauregard and Fleur look on.
There’s Henri, chomping on Beauregard’s leg. I love that Beauregard and Fleur are both looking at me, like I had anything to do with this situation.
Josephine on the back of the couch, and Beauregard just kind of hanging there.
They just love climbing up the side of this scratcher.
I was trying to get Katriane to look at me, and caught Fleur and Josephine in the background leaping at each other.
Now Fleur’s got the upper paw.
Fleur’s always ready for a tussle.
While Fleur watches, Henri climbs up…
Leaps over her Ears of Annoyance…
And decides this is a good place to hang out.

I walked into the hallway the other morning to find Archie sitting atop the crate watching the kittens race around the foster room. He finds them interesting, though he would never actually go into that room because being surrounded by little kittens is very much not his thing. Katriane likes to follow Archie around and watch him play (he’s very playful, but will NOT play with another cat, only by himself) and he tolerates that for the most part unless she gets too close.
Speaking of that crate he’s sitting on, I bought that to block the doorway so that – during the day – Katriane and Margeaux could come and go as they please, but the kittens couldn’t get over it. It worked really well until yesterday when all of a sudden the kittens were able to reach the top, pull themselves up, and drop to the floor on the other side. So I replaced the crate with a moving box that’s about 6 inches taller. The girls can get over it, but the kittens can’t. I’m sure it won’t be too terribly much longer before they’re able to get over that, too!

Wow! So much action this morning I feel like I just watched an action flick! We had jumping, hanging on to a ledge, hand-to-hand (or to-leg) combat; so much like a Bruce Willis or Stallone movie. Great pics, Robyn!
I love Archie sitting there watching the live kitten show.
Archie is like those people who like to look at babies but don’t want to hold them!
Floofy Fleur fleetly flies through the air!
I love Fleur! So feisty!
Katriane having a little crush on Archie from a distance, while he basically ignores her and does his own thing, sounds like the plot of some teen angst rom-com movie. 😀
It makes me think of Stinkerbelle and her love for Tommy. I got that right didn’t I? So many cats over the years. 🙂
Tommy did love Stinkerbelle back 🙂
Tommy loved everyone! 😀
Beauregard and Fleur blame Robyn for Henri’s leg chomping because she’s documenting it.
Also, Fleur and Josephine leaping at each other is a lovely bit of serendipity.
That Fleur & Josephine leaping together photo needs that snazzy 3d in-the-round treatment!
Too bad, because Archie would make a cool Uncle!
Question for you, Robyn, did you have cats when you were a child, were you the one always bringing strays home, or did you magically turn into the wonderful feline-loving person you are today?
