Long-Time Friends

Ebony

Born: 1987
Personality: Mellow and personable. Nearly impossible to irritate.
Special Privilege: Every morning when I wake up, he walks up onto my chest so I can pet him before I get up.

In your face!
Portrait


Hurricane

Born: c. 1994
Personality: Skittish but affectionate, playful. Doesn't get along with Bandit too well. Too many endearing traits to mention.
Special Privilege: Every time I eat a container of yogurt, she gets to lick the empty container.

Cozy


Bandit

Born: c. 1996
Personality: Affectionate once he gets to know you. The best lap cat of the three. Doesn't trust Hurricane.
Actually, Linda thinks he has a crush on Hurricane and I'm beginning to agree with her. Looks like we have a love triangle on our hands.
Special Privilege: Every time I eat a frozen dinner, he gets to lick the food tray.

Smile!


Slinky

Born: April 1994
Personality: Has vast vocabulary of six words: "chase", "yum-yum", "play", "brush", "squeeezee!" and "go on!". Very talkative!
Gets along with Ebony already! Doesn't trust Hurricane or Bandit.
Special Privilege: Gets to be Squeeezeed.

What are those *other* cats doing here???


Group Shots

Detente
This is really a rare moment of peaceful coexistence for these two, well worth immortalizing.

Group shot
A more contemplative moment for all three.

Linda and I have been maintaining three hummingbird feeders around the back of the house. This has brought out a delightfully sensitive side in Hurricane...
Ornithologist
...She has taken up birdwatching with a heartwarming enthusiasm!


Their Stories

In my spare time I'd like to add more information about all three cats (stop rolling your eyes like that!) but for now I'm just going to add an early picture of Bandit.

Bandit and friend
and again
Here's a younger Bandit (then known as Bart) with his childhood friend Kellie, back when he was living with his original owner, James Kao. Interestingly, I just married James's sister Linda. Funny how these connections work out.
