All These Kitties

 

Yeah, there are a lot of kitties in this place. Three to be exact.

Hmmmm…does that make me a crazy cat lady? Who can say? But honestly, how could we do without any one of them?

We have beautiful, shy, skittish Lyla…

bossy, no nonsense, alpha man Hobbes…

and happy, silly, affectionate little Dali.

Sometimes they get along beautifully,

…as if they were the best of friends.

Other times, they would rather have their own space…

to stretch…

to sleep…

and to play.

All that said, they have each nudged a space in our hearts we couldn’t possibly do without them.

and the feeling seems mutual.

 

 

The Kitty Kingdom

Our three sweet babies.

Good old Hobbes who bears the scars of all the battles he’s been in to save us all from the threats–real or imaginary that are outside that window.

Sweet, gentle Lyla who dashes and ducks from every sound she hears, yet lowers her head and growls if a stranger comes to our porch.

The baby- little Dali who hasn’t a care in the world and still can’t figure out why she isn’t allowed to climb my leg like a tree or eat my bracelet.

It’s our lovely kitty kingdom and my goodness how we love it.

Three kitties seems to be the perfect number…

for us.

Sleeping With the Enemy

Soooo this is a first.

Normally, Lyla steers way clear of Hobbes because he’s always jumping on her and knocking her over–you know–all the tough guy stuff. He’s too much of a wild boy for her prissy nature and…well, she’s just plain scared of him.

So to look over and see the two of them in the same corner of the universe–never mind the same bed– was beyond belief.  I can’t even tell you.
Will wonders never cease?

Apparently not.

One thing I did notice though–only one of these kitties is actually sleeping. Lyla’s no dummy and she’s not taking her eyes off this dude.
Love at home, indeed…

with one eye open. Ha.
