Welcome to our web page devoted to our house-full of crazy cats! We've got four of them... three are Abyssinians - Angel, Belle and Crichton - and the fourth member, Jack, is a domestic medium hair.  We created this web space to capture photos throughout their existence... being curious, cute, playful or just downright mischievous :) There is never a dull moment in our house, let me tell ya :)

Dec 27, 2010: Finally, another update!  The whole page here is all new, with the previous content now moved to Archive #8.  Lots to see, with the newest content on top...

(As always... click on any pic to embiggen it)
  

   Christmas 2010!

  
Once upon a Christmas... doesn't Angel make the cutest reindeer?  I'm guessing she didn't think so :)  Even Jack got brave enough to come up to her, wondering what the heck was on her head.  And it looks like she was just too grumpy to do anything about it :)

  

We tried the reindeer hat on Belle as well, but it just didn't look quite as festive with her grumpy expression :)

...so we thought, since Belle is more roly-poly-Santa shaped, that she'd like a Santa hat better!  And we even gave her a little stuffed reindeer to pose with.  She wasn't amused :)

  

Angel was definitely the most accepting of the hats...so we thought we'd see how she liked a Santa hat instead...

  

She didn't seem to like it much better... even with her reindeer companion :)

To be fair of course, we tried it on the boys.  Well, Crichton is absolutely impossible to even get it on him, so we tried it on Jack...

That didn't work so well... he looked like he was about to pee himself from fear :)  No, he would rather just use the hat as a toy...

The boys instead just opted for some cute poses... first the both of them in front of the tree, and then Crichton soloing in the Christmas tree light.

  

Fortunately, even though they're all little trouble makers, they still managed to make Santa's "nice list" and got some great presents this year :)  Oh, and can I just mention how hard it is to capture the pale Crichton and all-black Jack in the same photo!? :)

Here's a few photos of the kids playing with their presents...

Crichton gets acquainted with his new puffball toy.

It didn't take long for him to start batting one of them all over the house.

But of course, he had to take a break to sit on the wrapping paper and do "peel-outs" on it :)

Crichton gets in Jack's face to investigate Jack's new catnip banana toy.

But Jack still managed to find some time to himself with the banana... a very difficult thing to capture in a photo, let me tell ya!

Angel, well, even though she got her own toy, she still just preferred to play in the wrapping and eat the tissue paper :)

   2010's Miscellaneous Frivolity:

  

We managed to capture some really adorable photos of Belle in front of the fire during Christmas.  Isn't she a cutie :)  She really loves that fireplace!

Belle says to Jack "you know I only yell at you because I love you..."  Well, OK, so maybe that's not what she's saying :)

Crichton wants that string something fierce!

Belle and Jack share another couch moment... this time in silence.

A VERY happy Belle getting some belly attention from Evelyn.

Get outta there, dammit!

Angel and Belle looking adorable :)

It's a rare occasion to see Angel laying next to Jack instead of chasing him around the house :)

Belle catches some sun.

Jack looking as cute as ever.

How the heck does he spread his back toes like that!? :)

  

Angel has been fighting a allergy-related dermatitis problem, so we've had to protect her neck on occasion to keep her from tearing herself up.  She's not too excited about it... but she looks so darn cute! :)  She wouldn't even get into the festive spirit with her Halloween scarf either :)

No matter how small the bucket, Crichton will find a way to fit in it.

Jack letting out his playful side.  Well, actually, every side of him is playful... he's just a giant kitten :)

He, that's my shoe!

D'Argo gets comfy in the fruit bowl... well, I guess it's kinda fitting :)

Crichton enjoying some sun.

Angel makes good use of the lion's head to grab the toy.

     

Crichton chases the bubbles, while Jack took one look at them and ran away :)

Belle and her patented grumpyface.

Jack with one of his favorite toys.

There's a happy cat :)

D'Argo looking uber handsome.
  

D'Argo looking uber silly :) There's feet everywhere!  How the heck is he doing that? :)

D'Argo, 2/28/2003 - 10/27/2010
Rest in peace, our little man.

Today was a really sad day for us.  We lost one of our babies - D'Argo - due to complications related to diabetes.  He was always the problem child... well, OK, DEMON child would be more like it... but we still loved him just the same, and he will be sorely missed.
