Cat #1 - Jasper

Jasper the Cat is the ultimate hood ornament. My car displays his perpetual paw patterng. He is friendly, outgoing, good pals with Kellybelle, and a successful hunter. Jasper went missing in the heat of the summer of 2006. I resigned myself to believe that he had surely become a coyote snack, but he reappeared some nine days later and having lost about ¼ of his total body weight. I'd say that Jasper truly dodged a bullet. I never miss an opportunity to scratch Jasper behind the ear for good luck.

Cat #2

This kitty is a camouflage expert and a killing machine.
I've had opportunity to observe as she lies patiently in wait; her presence concealed in shadow ... lurking in silent trance; ready to pounce. "Awe, isn't it adorable; the way she rips the belly from that defenseless little bird?"

Cat #3

Aki with beautiful green eyes, is another neighborhood killer!

Cat#4

Nala is a bit skiddish and just beginning to venture out of her own yard and into mine.
I watched her make bird kills on back to back days in late May of 2008.
I think we'll be seeing more of her from now on.

Cat#5

A rare sighting in my yard
