Kitties!!

Okay, the pictures came out. :)

This is Basta, the venerable old lady cat (second shot shows Basta with the very shy Tips, who didn't know what to make of this strange person with the flashing thing...):

    

This next one is Spot (that's a burlap bag o' catnip he has there - and I'm amazed how quickly something as sturdy as that can get shredded):



And then we have Babe. Babe thought I was just wonderful for showing up. I came with catnip, and everyone was paying attention to her, and I was paying attention to her and.... Babe was a very happy cat. Babe loves the camera, too, as far as I can tell. She was definitely my most cooperative subject. First, Babe not under the (strong) influence of catnip:



And then we have Babe under the influence of catnip. Scary kitty! The first two pics, my dad is holding her; the second two are me:

   

   

And then you have the truly Weird. My mother had a potato (not a real one, a display one) that she got from someone. She had no idea what to do with it (I think the goal was to get it to leave with me, but I haven't got much use for real potatoes, never mind fake ones, so that didn't quite work...). So she crushed a fresh catnip leaf to it and supplied to Babe. Fortunately, Babe was halfway to stupor stage by this point, so no unspeakable scenes of destruction - but I thought this was just too cute:

As someone once commented in my journal - you really just cannot have too many pix of cats. Ever. Cute and fun. Thanks.

Awww!

I have a special place in my heart for black-and-white kitties (although mine is more white-and-black), so these are especially cute in my eyes.
