Wordless Wednesday

An Open Window ...

With the nice fall weather, our windows are open - our cats love to sit in the open windows! And it was funny this evening as I walked through the house and found all three cats in their own window.

Mac was checking out everything happening in the front of the house.

Toklata refused to turn around, but you can tell by the 'tilt of her ears' that she is listening intently. :)

Moxie learned how to "window sit" from the other kitties.

This picture made me laugh - looks like she is sticking her tongue out!

And then there is Mac posing with the 'Alfred Hitchcock' look.

You may notice there is not a "cute" picture of Toklata - probably because she is such a 'grouch' most of the time.

Toklata & Mac

Since our new kitty Moxie was featured in a post, thought it was only fair to the other cats to have their pictures shared also.

Toklata has been with us for over seven years, and she is 'queen kittie' of the household. One of her favorite spots is Aaron's office chair.

Mac was an adorable kitten, and has always been playful.

In the summer, he usually finds a snake nest and will occasionally bring home a baby snake to play with.

It's not very often that they are near each other. It's been over three years since Mac came to live with us, and Toklata is still just ignoring him and pretending that he isn't around. When Mac was a kitten, he would try to play with Tok - but she wasn't interested at all.
One interesting note, all three cats went to the vet last week. Toklata and Mac each weighed just a little over 14 pounds, and Moxie weighed just 2.2 pounds. That is quite a size difference. Fortunately, she is not intimidated by the others at all.

Meet Moxie!

We have a new resident at our house - Moxie. She is approximately eight weeks old.

We were having trouble coming up with a name, so did a Google search for kitten names. According to the cat-names website, Moxie means "Ability to face difficulty with courage." The name really fits her, and she needs courage to come into a house with two mature cats. So far, Toklata is just indifferent towards her, and Mac is scared of her. When she got close to him, he ran all the way down to the basement to hide.

She loves playing with the little 'puff balls.' These little pom-poms have always been a favorite toy for our cats. And look at those claws!

You can see how small she is when Samantha is holding her. She really loves to explore, play, and then climb on someone to take a nap. And she is always purring. :)
