Our cousins!

Just in case anyone forgot, we have three cousins who live with our bean's daughter and family. They live only about a mile from us, but we know each other only through photos!

First up is Kitty. In this photo, he had just awakened from a nap in his favorite box! Isn't he beautiful?

Then there's Princess Meow Meow, the cut-up in the family. She is always thinking up new ways to drive her beans nuts, including running outside in the rain and then surprising them by her wetness ... when they didn't even know she had gotten out! Little imp!!

In the photo below, she was lying on her fave bean's backpack ... trying to make sure he wouldn't leave again ... but alas! He did!!

And here he is, at age 16, the fabulous "old man" of the family: Cabernet! He made the moves from Indiana to California to New Mexico to California to Virginia to Texas. He hates thunderstorms, and once he runs and hides in the house, no one can find him! He usually chooses some cozy space deep in a closet!

Our Cousin, Princess Meow Meow!

Princess Meow Meow thought she had a lizard cornered the other day ... but it was outside the window and she was inside!! Can you spot the lizard between the glass and the outside blind?? 

Kiril, Nikita, and Elvira!!

Hooray, hooray! Another family, moving to Texas!

Nikita shows us some of the preparations going on for the big move in about a month -- here and here.

Welcome to Texas, y'all!!

Welcome ~ from Grace ...

... and Kitty ...

... and Princess Meow Meow!!

Princess!!

Princess, Anne's youngest cat, is always unpredictable. On this particular morning, she decided it was her job to warm up grandbean Austen's jacket before he put it on and went off to school. What a considerate kitty!

More Princess fun!

Here she is this morning, looking very innocent!

Hmmm! Is she relaxing? Or planning her next trip up the center of the tree??

Funny Princess!

Remember Princess Meow Meow? She's the Linehans' youngest and funniest cat! She still thinks and plays like a kitten.

Absolutely darling!

And she can take down a Christmas tree faster than we can wrap presents to put under it!!

More wonderful photos with the new camera ...

Princess goes hunting!

Princess, one of my daughter's cats, will play with just about anything. She is truly the eternal kitten! Here she is "helping" with the ironing - and hunting lizards at the same time. She, of course, has no clue that she is inside the glass and the lizards are outside, but that doesn't stop her!

Easy Sunday

Grace and Ruse were snoozing together after cleaning each other's ears and heads! Grace's babies are almost 4 years old, and she still cleaning them when she gets the chance!




And this is Princess, my grandbeans' most recent find. She is darling and very playful. Everyone loves her. Here she is, in the sock basket, "helping" Kira find socks! (Ha ha!)

Princess's Special Day!

I've posted before about this little one -- Princess Meow Meow! Such a little beauty! Anyway, today is her lady-garden-ectomy -- actually it's over, and we'll be going to pick her up after 4 pm this afternoon. She will then spend the next week or so in grandbean Austen's room. Now we'll find out if she can be an indoor kitty, an indoor/outdoor kitty, or solely an outdoor kitty. It'll be her call. She's had complete freedom up to now, and I'll bet she won't give that up. We'll see.

Anyway, isn't she pretty? And lots of fun ... and very vocal!

She likes to claim the car in the garage as her own territory!

And she likes to explore everything else that's in the garage, too, including whatever's up in the rafters!

Cousins!!

I've posted about Grigio before (fka Garage Kitty). He's in the first three photos below, showing off the fact that he's an inside kitty now, and he doesn't have to associate with anyone outside anymore!! My grandbeans call him the guardian of the shoe pile!




Now a new kitty has adopted my grandbeans' back yard. They have been calling her Princess Meow Meow! She's about 1½ years old, according to the v-e-t, and she's very zippy and playful. It's hard to get photos of her because she's always on the move. These aren't very good photos, but they'll do for now. She is very tiny (under 9#), and with her unusually floofy tail for a shorthaired cat, she reminds us of a squirrel sometimes!
