Baby Boomer

Meet our new baby, Boomer!  She came home today from her foster home with Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary.  As you can probably tell she is a tabby, but I really love her distinct markings.  In most spots she is like a gray tabby then there are little patches where her orange tabby color shows through.  Its pretty adorable.  At the moment Boomer is six months old, however she is extraordinarily small for her age.  She's about the size (and weight) of my Rebel camera.  We are just so happy to have her, although Chloe is not as overjoyed at present.  Hopefully, Chloe will warm up to Boomer, though and they will be cuddling and cleaning each other in no time.

Chloe at the Bay

Aaron's family has a bay house near Port Lavaca.  We don't get to go there often enough, but when we do we ALL enjoy it!  As you can see Chloe is enjoying her limited outside time exploring on the porch.  She's being pretty good right now, however there have been times when she's given us some scares by locating herself on the other side of the railing.  Of course as soon as she does it, Aaron and I are rushing as calmly as we can to get her to come back around.  Thankfully this doesn't happen often!

Suki's Sneak Peek

This pretty Calico is Suki! She is named after a warrior princess and the name fits her perfectly. Suki is one feisty girl. You cannot tell from this photo, but she did not take kindly to me following her around and invading her territory. Despite Suki's love for her privacy she did let me snap a few really sweet pictures, the first of which is posted below. This is for you Lida and Jim!

Our Sweet Boy, Django

Django was our kitty for such a short time.  We adopted him when he was 13 years old and got to spend the next three months falling in love with his sweet disposition.  He had many previous medical conditions that we were unaware of, but I will forever be grateful for the chance to give this boy a home.  I have a feeling he did more for Aaron and I than we were able to do for him.  We still feel such an attachment and love for him.  He was such a calming presence in our house and will always be missed!  Meet Django.

Neo Cat

This is Neo, my precious tabby.  He was MY first cat.  Then I went off to college and he became attached to his yard, his special spot by the window where he suns, and... the squirrels.  We tried so hard to keep this boy as an indoor cat, but alas he was meant to roam (at least around the neighbors yards).  Neo is the strong, silent type (unless he wants outside in the middle of the night, then you'll hear about it).  I miss my boy, but at least I know I can always go visit him at the place I once called home.
