Kit Carson, Western adventure kitty, his full name. LOVES going outside, eating, and sleeping. Oddly he has two personalities. Inside he is a sweetheart, and even lets the younger orange cat pick on him sometimes. Outside however, he is a badazz. He chases off interlopers, and has a real impressive growl/howl, that even makes ME nervous to pick him up.





Ricky the switchblade. He will sleep nine hours straight if you let him. He will not meow for food, or try to wake you up. He leaves that to Kit Carson. LOVES dry food, and only licks the gravy off of wet food. His nickname is tail whipper. His tail is always going back and forth 100 mph...





And the newest member of the bunch, rescued from the warehouse at work. A female kitten, who can eat her weight in food, hehe. She is gaining weight, and looking healthy
after two weeks of regular feeding. Meet Winnie!

I like cat with a little bit of spooky personality. One of mine will bite me if she gets the urge. Frequently draws blood. But I know she is not being malicious or mean. Just communicates with her mouth.

Beautiful eyes shot in that pic.

I gotta figger out how to bring my dog on rides. Her size and shape make it a challenge. She's a small, 55-pound greyhound, which means she's still taller than most dogs.

She's not very limber and can't curl up small, not is sitting a comfy position for her. In cramming her in, she stepped on a buckle, and the buckle went straight through her ankle. Ouch! Good thing we were on our way to the vet. It turned out to be a very minor injury, but it was my fault. I need to figure out how to lengthen the trailer.

Maybe something like this but made out of conduit?

He was the best looking tabby out of the litter. I got him when he was about the same age as Winnie, and he had those markings with blue eyes. Well, the eyes turned yellowish as he aged. He's about 5-6 years old now, probably six this Summer. Has never scratched or bit me on purpose, but on the other hand he doesn't really go for face to face interaction. It makes him squirm and want to jump down if you pick him up and get too close. He will come curl up to you and sleep if the mood strikes him though. He's his own cat, that's for sure.,,,,BD

She showed up as a stray on Jan 1, 2013 and became my shop "buddy". She's the 4th cat we have but growls something fierce when another cat shows up so she stays here by herself. She was somebody's indoor cat before for sure. One of my 10 yo daughter's has decided to claim her as her own.
