Last Friday, local reader Jean challenged me to get as many cats in one picture as possible. I guesstimated that 10 in one picture was going to be the max we’d be able to achieve, but imagine my surprise when at snack time one night the kitchen was overrun with cats, and Fred started snapping pictures.
Fifteen!
And yes, I know that #1 is only Newt’s tail, but I’ve decided that it still counts! I’m really, really surprised that we were able to get that many cats in one picture. AND that no one was smacking anyone else, since there’s a LOT of hissing and growling and smacking when they’re waiting for snacks to be doled out.
In the first picture, with the Cookie and the Blues Brother, does the Cookie have ear tufts like a lynx? OMG.
Three of the Cookies have these tufts of hair at the ends of their ears – I don’t know if there’s a particular name for them, but I’ve been calling them “points” – as in “That’s not Orange, Fred, that’s Keebler – see his points?”
The point at the end of Pink’s right ear.
Those two pictures above are Keebler – they show his points quite nicely, don’t they?
The other Cookie with points is Blue, but I didn’t happen to get a picture of hers.
I tend to forget this until I see all of them together, but Keebler (back left of the picture) is much darker than his Meezer sisters. Look how strikingly dark those stripes on his legs are!
Pretty, pretty Hydrox. I love the way his whiskers look so striking against his black fur!
Another shot of Keebler. Look at him, looking so innocent when he was JUST biting that tail right in front of him and making his sister cry!
They are such sweet little monkeys, I can barely stand it!
“Well, hellooooooo, ladies!”
Gus and Veruca, snuggling.
Violet.
Veruca keeps a suspicious eye on Elwood.
All four Wonkas in one bed – and Miz Poo as a bonus!
I can’t help it, this picture makes me laugh and laugh. Sugarbutt slept right through this horrific invasion of his privacy.
