Beautiful cats!
Thank you Shasta! I think the beauty of those two is that they look like twins (except when you take a closer look). It's fun to see the 'symmetry'.

They differ though enormously in weight. I don't know what they weigh, but I can see and feel it. Sayif has been an 'eater' ever since last summer when I took him home at 3 months. That's probably one of the reasons why he survived his two brothers..

They have very much the same 'design' (Sayif has a whiter chin), but their fur is quite different. Brokie is really silky soft, whereas Sayif's fur is less silky, but very shiny.

Look at the cat up at the top. He looks like he's been stuck up there with velcro!!  :laugh:

Aww. How cute!! I always love looking at your kitty pictures, Jude!! The cat up at the top didn't end up falling off, did he?
Hi David. I would never ever attach my cats to anything with velcro!  :laugh: But Sayif did get 'caught' in that fly repellent gluey paper last summer.. I was sooooo lucky to be at home when it happened.. It scared the living ***** out of him! Not easy either to get that stuff off of him, without some fur....  :o

Anyway, the cat you see velcroed to the wall is Brokie. She did not fall off from there, but she has fallen off from here at least twice:

My cat sometimes falls from the window sill, or even from the top of the television downstairs in the basement. So I've placed pillows on the floor in both of those locations so he won't get hurt when it happens. He falls alseep and just rolls off sometimes!

Dogs have owners. Cats have staff.

That must be quite funny to watch, though probably less funny for the cat!  :laugh:  ;D

I like your little dog and cat signature! So cute!  :-*

Beautiful felines! They have that napping thing down, don't they.  ;)

How did you get that picture of Sayif sitting so still --like a statue beside a statue?  I love the composition of that shot! Perfect.

Thanks for sharing. I love cats!

Thank you Shasta. To be honest, I took at least 4 or 5 pictures of Sayif next to the statue, hoping that one would 'echo' the other. He is not supposed to go on the table, but when it's not used, I let it go. Brokie doesn't do things like that.

To convince you all that my cats don't only sleep all the time, I have here a little video from the other week.

I went to a party last week and the little boy there said -- don't let that cat fool you, she's evil. haha He said the cat bites and scratches. It was a wild cat that they adopted when a baby, so I didn't doubt. Anyway, she jumped on the table and was going for the food. I was right there, so I grabbed her and held her and petted her before I put her down. She was fine to me.

Haha -- I have no doubt that your two frolic! When there are two young cats together, there is lots of activity. But if you get the video working, please let us see it!!
