Illustration Friday - October 30, 2009 - Skinny

Simon is a skinny boy. Norman is...extra large.

Illustration Friday - October 23, 2009 - Fast

I've been telling The Kitties that I'm expecting a surprise special delivery November 13th. They are pondering confused, amazed, and excited. They, too, eagerly await, and the days are not counting down fast enough for any of us.

Illustration Friday - October 9, 2009 - Frozen

In the wintertime, when Simon comes into the garage, he immediately shakes off the chills.

Illustration Friday - October 2, 2009 - Fly

Some of The Kitties know how to fly and some don't.

Illustration Friday - October 2, 2009 - Germs

At The Mother Kitty's house, germs are not tolerated. Cleanliness, she says, is key.

Illustration Friday - September 26, 2009 - Pattern

I haven't yet figured out Jane's fur patterns from the photos I've seen. From what I can tell, she's a fluffy motley mix of greys, with a touch of brown. While I know I don't have her quite right yet, she says she doesn't mind--She's just happy to be here. She says her hot pink collar is perfect, and that's her favorite feature anyway.

Illustration Friday - September 18, 2009 - Infinite

The Kitties tails (and tales) are infinite. (But Jane's is still growing.)

Illustration Friday - September 11, 2009 - Welcome!

My nephew Liam tells me that there is a new kitty living at his dad's house. She was found outside a hardware store in Cincinnati. (She knows all about tools and mechanics.) Her tail had somehow broken long ago, and she has yet to tell us how it happened. It healed itself a bit askew. Her name is Jane, and I have yet to meet her. In any case, The Kitties are already pals.

Illustration Friday - September 4, 2009 - Strong

B.J. is the strong, not-so-silent type.

Illustration Friday - August 28, 2009 - Magnify

I woke up to this sight once. I'm not sure how long Ashes was staring. As usual, she won't tell me.

Illustration Friday - August 21, 2009 - Caution!

Norman is abby-normal.

Illustration Friday - August 14, 2009 - Wrapped

The Mother Kitty used to help Mom and Dad with the mail...until we realized what she was keeping under wraps. It's OK: Simon always took these opportunities to practice his Houdini-esque escapes.
