He always has an alibi, and one or two to spare

I haven’t posted photos of our dear cats in a while, and little Sesame is no longer quite so little. When Ellen of 8 Eyes Photography took these over the weekend, I had to share:


Here’s Tiger. Very happy. (Photo by 8 Eyes Photography)

You now have learned enough to see
That Cats are much like you and me
And other people whom we find
Possessed of various types of mind.

The Ad-dressing of Cats, T.S. Eliot
