Dale’s Furry Friends

I currently have three cats living with me. Since no one can really own a cat, I feel honored to have them sharing my house.


oscar 1
Oscar was added to the household about two weeks after Felix (see below). (Thanks, Jessi).
Ashley 1
Ashley and Cinderella are sisters, acquired from a friend after Felix died. I didn’t want Oscar to be lonely.
Ashley 2
Ashley likes to climb trees — any trees.
Ashley 3
She has grown up to be an elegant cat.
Cinderella 1
Cinderella is the fluffy one.
Cinderella 2
She can’t let her sister be the only one in the tree.
Cinderella 3
She also has her regal moments.
Visitor 1

Occasionally neighbor cats visit the cathouse. They aren’t usually well received.
 
Sandy, Cinderella, and Oreo
They all spend part of their time chilling on the deck
 
Oscar and Belle
And some just like to play in the floor.
 
Unfortunately, time, disease, and other factors have an effect on the cathouse residents. Sprite, Bones, Decca, Summer, Oreo, Sandy, Belle and Felix are fondly remembered.

Sandy 1
I inherited Sandy from Sara Brown. She enjoyed her time at the cathouse.
 
Belle 1
Belle was a foundling. I picked her up off the side of the road.

She can be a charmer. The best comment I heard on this picture was “looks like trouble”.

Sprite, the wildcat of the group
Bones 1
Bones, lithe and long-tailed

Felix walked out of the woods onto the road in front of my car one night. I just had to bring him home.
