The THOMAS and COOPER Show (and friends)

Yay more pictures! Thanks for posting them, they're so great - I love the one where they're all on the bed together!

Yay!!! More pictures! I can't believe what a close-knit family you have -- everybody snuggles with everybody, kittens and humans alike!

I'm going to show this thread to my colleague at work tomorrow. He loves cats and will appreciate the quality and the supreme cuteness of these photos! Thank you, KittyKook!

Thanks

I do love taking pictures of my babies....and it's true.....everyone in this house is a big snuggler! You know what I've noticed recently? Thomas and Cooper have finally fallen in love with ME too! You know how it takes awhile for the "bonding" to take place? Well these boys are getting sweeter by the day. Now, whenever they see me.....both of them will start purring before I even touch them. And they get this look on their faces like...."Oh there's my favorite person and now I'm going to get some loving!" Cooper, in particular, has become the biggest lover you ever saw. He looks at me, starts purring, squints his eyes and reaches for me with his paws. It's just the sweetest thing and the more I hug him....the louder he purrs. And he has started coming to me when I call him now. Both of them are like big noodles when I pick them up. They totally relax and lay their heads on my shoulder.

Robin,

I've noticed Megan starting to do this, too (finally). She's between 6 and 7 mos old. Is that how old the boys are now?

Yeah.....well they are about 5 1/2 months old now. Maybe they just have to mature a little before they start really developing those bonds with their humans. But these guys are definitely beginning to develop their bonds now and it's so neat to have them return the affection and openly show their feelings now. It's hard to explain.......they've always been very affectionate.....but now it's like they are beginning to seek me out for attention rather than me always having to go pick them up. Does that make any sense? Like when I'm on the computer.....one (or both) of them will come up to me and jump up on the back of the chair and start purring and nuzzling my hair. Or they'll jump up in the bed with me and come lay down next to my face and put their paws on me. They are both total sweethearts.

There is one of the very pictures of Cooper looks like he is sucking his thumb The kittens are so adorable.

Yeah he was sucking his thumb. He used to do that a lot when he was a baby. I used to him "Cry Baby" when he was little because he was so insecure...always sucking his thumb and crying. He's come a long way since then. Now he's probably more outgoing than Thomas is...and definitely has more energy.

Wow where do I start, add me to the list of people who loves your kitties.

I always wanted to see pics of Abby, I love the work out pic and her up close pics. She looks like a great mother. I love the Christmas tree pic too.

Leo is gorgeous, he looks like a nice kitty. I love the way he is with Shelby, Thomas and Cooper. I love all of his pics especially the up-close one.

Shelby is BEAUTIFUL, she looks very playful. Looks like a spoiled kitty who loves to be caress. She has very beautiful eyes, I love the pic of her at the window watching the snow. I love how she is with Thomas and Cooper, what a great mother she is being to them.

I love the latest update, all the pics are great but my favorite one is the four kitties sleeping in your bed. They get along so well, to bad Abby doesn't get along with Shelby. I also love Shelby and Leo's pic.

i've gotta say, your pix & fur-babies are all gorgeous - but this is my fave of Thomas!

Yeah I love that one too! To me....it seems like that picture just captures his personality because it looks like he's giggling....and he's such a little jokester sometimes.

Just tonight...he was scratching on the chair, so I clapped my hands and said very sternly, "Thomas NO!" He stopped scratching.....and ran around behind the chair.....only to sneak around to the other side of the chair and begin scratching again. Again....I said, "Thomas NO!" He stopped.....and ran around to the other side again.....but this time, he didn't begin scratching right away....he just sat there and looked at me. Then, very slowly he turned toward the chair and started scratching really fast and then took off running! I just laughed at him and yelled, "You little stinker.....don't you defy me like that!!"

Your pictures are great. I love them

Well I knew it was only a matter of time.............


Here's the BEFORE picture that I took the other day when we first put up the tree.



And these were taken yesterday...............





Do you think he looks a wee bit guilty?

Not precious, sweet and innocent Thomas! Oh wow, of all the cats in your house, I would've never suspected him!

Love the Christmas tree make-over!

That poor tree. It looked so proud, then afterwards it was... um... sad

I wonder what outside cats made it into your house and did that?????

the comparison actually made me laugh out loud! but this is why I don't have a tree!

Seriously, there are tears in my eyes because I'm laughing so hard at the before-and-after pictues of the Christmas tree.

Oh, how I adore your family!

Those pics of the tree are hilarious!!!

You know...when I got home the other day....the tree was actually laying on the floor. I should have taken a picture of that! Instead, I set it back up again and my daughter Jamie and I were laughing so hard at the pitiful looking tree, that I had to run to the bathroom to keep from peeing in my pants!

Jamie really laughed when I started singing "Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree......how lovely are thy branches...."

I showed those Christmas tree pictures to the people at work and all of them were cracking up too. I knew the boys were going to destroy the tree, which is why I didn't use any ornaments and tried to make it a "kitten safe" tree. So, it doesn't upset me that the tree looks so mangled.....I expected it. It just adds more fun and laughter to the holiday season.

I actually got some pictures of the cats IN the tree last night....which I will post later. I walked into the living room and caught them climbing it again.
