Family Pets

Why so sad Oso? Is it because it can't always be about you?

I thought it might be about time to post some pictures of the animals currently dwelling in South Texas. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait for a picture of Clio, otherwise known as Squeky, as she has developed a rather unreasonable fear of Weese and so will not set foot in the house until Weese is sent packing, unless of course it is cold or rainy, but as neither of those are particularly common weather conditions for the area, we generally have to leave the house to provide her with her share of food and pets.

But here are the other animals of the house.

Weese and Kym (notice the knitting and knitting books underneath Weese).

I'm afraid both Cab and Weese are somewhat stereotypical in their love of sitting on my knitting. They seem to have a sixth sense about whether or not the item is intended for a friend with cat allergies. The green blanket in this photo is headed straight for a friend with a severe allergy. As a result, I can't seem to keep Weese off of it.

Betsy and Oso

Oso is somewhat bigger than Nola at the moment, but he is still cute, if somewhat smelly. Oso is pretending to be shy in this picture, but it is all a lie. Normally he preens in front of the camera.

Kym and Cab

Now Cab is quite the love-pig these days. He crawls all over me whenever he suspects I'll be in one place for 5 minutes and gets quite offended whenever I move. Weese, of course, is still regretting teaching him that a cat can remain both fierce and dignified even while begging for pets, not that Cab is ever particularly fierce, but he does endlessly strive for dignified. He has beaten her at her own game and even though she loves him, I suspect that in her heart she is planning a little revenge, or at least a comeuppance.

So there they are, minus Squeky. I'll track her down later for a picture.
