Basket Kitty

My kitty Persephone loves this basket. I have no clue where it came from, but somebody put it on the table and it's her new favorite place.

These are all my kitties except one, I'll upload an image of her in a minute.

The buff/sand colored tabby is named Hades, and the tortoiseshell is his sister, Hecate. The color point is Persephone, and the tabby closest to the camera is Zephyrus and the brown tabby next to Hades is Atlas.

This is the other kitty, the fluffy black one on the washing machine. Her name is Eris.

I'm gonna try to get some nice pictures of them on my good camera today. Then when I visit my dad I'll post a picture of my first kitty, Charcoal. He's eight now. And the cat I rescued and gave to my grandmother, his name is Maxwell.

I'll also post a picture of my semi-feral outdoor cats, Bandit and Cross-eyes (both ear tipped), and the new kittens that have shown up in the neighborhood (around five months old). They appear to be quite skittish. I hope to get them into TNR soon.

Absolutely beautiful- all of them!!! I love the picture of everyone on the window sill- its too perfect!!

It looks like they're lining up for roll call!

They're all very sweet. When they want to be. The only one who is a loner is the color point Persephone. She likes to keep to herself, and if someone pets her without permission she will get angry. When I'm alone with her though, she gets all lovey and nice.

Here are some more pictures...

(Also, all of my cats are indoor only, and only go outside for photoshoots. The only ones that go outside are the outdoor ones, Bandit, Cross-eyes, and Apollo. For now, Zephyrus is locked in, but after he's neutered, if he keeps trying to climb the curtains, he may get to go out during the day. He's still young, and has a lot of energy.)


Persephone. Probably the most easily photographed, and with the best results.


This is Cross-eyes. She's an outdoor kitty who I don't own, but have been feeding wince I moved to Tacoma a year ago.



These pictures are of my excitable tortoiseshell, Hecate. She is really mischievous. She knocks stuff off tables when she's looking for attention and drags coats or clothes on the floor into her water bowl. I'm not sure where she learned that part though... She especially loves her laser pointer toy.


These are two of the outside kitties. It's Bandit (tuxedo), and her best friend, Atlas (the tabby), who is pregnant and being kept in for now, so they're sadly separated at the moment. She'll be fixed ASAP after the kittens are born. She was getting really round when we found out she was pregnant and brought her inside, This picture was from a few months ago.


Another outside kitty, his name Apollo. He's already been ear-tipped, caught by someone I don't know, but he happily approaches and wants loves. He doesn't come inside, though. It makes him too nervous. He gets his food with Cross-eyes and Bandit, on the back porch.


This is my new kitty, Zephyrus. He's not been neutered, but as the holidays come to an end, he will be fixed. Of course he'll stay with us, he loves it at our house. He loves sitting in people's laps. He's the only one that does it really.


This is my baby boy Hades. He's the tortie's brother. He acts like such a kitten, it's super cute.




And Persephone again...



These are of the most outgoing kitty in the house, Eris. She's very nice and excited when it comes to loves.


This is Violet. She's my cousin's neighbor's cat. They also have twelve goats, a horse named Stormy, a dog, fish, a zebra finch and a rescued pigeon.



The two siblings again, Hades and Hecate.


This is Bandit and Atlas before they allowed me to get close to them. They like to cuddle.


Persephone....







^.^ I really like this picture, I love her eyes.




This is Maxwell. I rescued him and he moved in with my grandparents. He's really great.



These are my first kitty Charcoal. He's around eight years old right now. These were taken sometime last year probably.




More Maxwell...




This last kitty was my Pixie Bob rescue, named Bob. A couple years ago, he started getting very skinny, and he had to be put down. We couldn't out what was wrong, despite numerous tests. He was a bit of a lap cat.

Oh, WOW. So many cats!! You must spend hours scooping litter boxes...

Hecate is gorgeous. I think she'd love (to annoy) my own little tortie-and-white, Christy. You've got a knack for photographing them, too.

Beautiful cats

Thank you. It makes a beautiful wallpaper. I am using an HP 1907W LCD monitor that is almost 6 years old, but still gives gorgeous color and resolution.

What a beautiful bunch of kitties. Love all the pictures.

Beautiful photos, gorgeous kitties and wonderful you for taking such good care of all of them! You're a cat angel.

Gorgeous pictures- thank you for taking in all of them.   I especially love Persephone and Eris's pics. You are a talented photographer!
