The Bis Key Chronicles

I got a request for more cat pictures but I really need to figure that out. Cats, you see, don’t care whether their pictures are taken or not. They’d rather be petted, or fed, or played with. Here are the only three pictures, closely cropped, that I managed to salvage from over a hundred attempts. And an older picture just so show that sometimes I can take a good pic. By the end the cats had had enough and, so had I. :o)

I call the first one ‘Thelonius’ Stare’ and I try not to guess what Theo is thinking of this picture taking experience. I call the next one ‘Macy the Art Critic’ as she seemed to go from picture to picture for most of the shots that I was able to take. The first one in the second row has to be ‘Dharma is always Quiet’. She was touted as too wild for most houses, so Suzy knew she’d be the perfect friend to the Bengal cats. Suzy was, once again, correct. And the last picture of our family does show sweet Shelby in the family room, but mostly it’s to show you that sometimes I can take a non-fuzzy picture.

I have to say, taking pictures of saxophones is much easier.  ;o)

Macy joined the household today and she is getting to know the gang. I thought I’d provide a picture of the newest addition. I have to admit there have been some hissing fits, huge, fuzzy tails, and on a number of occasions a barking dog. But methinks that is to be expected when a new furry family member joins our house.

Macy is a four month old Bengal kitten from the Cheetahsden Bengals Northwest cattery in Sammamish. We feel very flattered and proud that Kelli allowed us to adopt Macy who was going to be a show cat. She has stellar markings and colorings, but she is different from Thelonius (Theo) in size and markings.

Below you can see an older picture of Theo when he was about Macy’s age. We think that Macy is coming along well enough that we might let her run with the big guys tomorrow.

We haven’t told many people about Macy yet, so mums the word, okay.  :o)
