First up we have Pumpkin again, but this time he’s not so grown up. We got the cats a few years ago; this is from when they were just little kittens you could fit in the palm of your hand.

A Smaller Cat

Aone paying attention should be able to work out that the next photo will be of Comet as a kitten, and guess what? You’re right!

Another Small Cat

Next up are a pair of cats from years gone by. This pair are the first cats my family had, and they were also the cats that let us know about my sister’s cat allergies and asthma. I didn’t develop my allergies until several years later, but she had her’s pretty badly. We finally had to get rid of them after she was sent to the hospital by a particularly nasty asthma attack. So here they are, Ms. Frizzle and Bo Peep. In that order.

These Almost Killed My Sister

And to not feel too bad about hving not taken any of the pictures thus far, here’s a crappy picture of Pumpkin climbing on a screen door that I took just now. I heard scritch-scratching coming from my left and went to investigate. Then ran back and got my camera. Then went back and only had time to get one bad shot off before he dropped down and ran off.

Scaling Mt. Screeny

Comet, like most cats, like to sleep. A lot. 9 times out of 10 when you go to their night time home, they’re both curled up in some comfortable cushion or another.

Another Cat in Repose

When she started paying attention, Comet was fascinated with the weird silver thing that kept shining an orange light on her face.

Please Stop

I had a seat on our couch, so Comet played one of her favorite games: go sit on a human lap.

Laps Are Comfortable

Pumpkin wanted to play as well.

'Sup?

This is the reason I started taking pictures in the first place; I happened to see him facing off against a mouse. I honestly can’t tell if he’s staring down the mouse or if it’s happening the other way around.

Stare Down

Both of our cats are quite friendly. When they see someone coming towards them they usually either run up to nuzzle you or simply flop down on the ground and ask for a belly rub. This is the latter.

Cat in Repose

After a little while he took to alternating between prowling around me and sitting down looking for that inscrutable thing that only cats seem to be able to see. It took quite a while to convince him to look at the camera.

The Sphinx

Eventually I got bored and jumped up all at once. He bolted for the nearest tree and scampered up. Don’t worry though, he’s always mean to Comet, so he deserved to be chased at least once, if not more.

Up In a Tree

I love cats. Just wish I wasn’t so darn allergic.

P.S. Pets are closer to people than things in my humble opinion, so yeah.
