Ratso & Simonie:  A Love/Hate Relationship  

She hates him; he loves (to torment) her

Simonie & Ratso         "Do you mind?  I'm trying to EAT here!"     Ever cautious when "diablo negro" is near    

Can't a girl get any sleep?       Hachoo!    

Could it be that he's growing on her, in their old age?         Or is she just too pooped to fight?

 

Snooker & Ratso:  Almost oedipal

  "Hey Snooker!  Get your maternal butt over here and lick the back of my head while I eat!" 

    Snooker & Ratso      Dang is he ever annoying      Mom spilled the cat food!      An illusion of peaceful slumber       Another illusion

Looks comfy, right?    10 seconds later: check out the look on Snooker's face     Competing for a spot under the wiegela

 

Snooker & Simonie:  Best Buddies

Snooker first accepted Simonie's presence (reluctantly)      Group bath     Nap at Edgewood       

Playing with "Da Bird", 1995         Roof inspectors       Best Buddies 

One of many, many naps together          Camera....too.....close!      Chillin' with Dad      Chillin' with Mom         

Let's take a peaceful nap      So much for peaceful      They really are best buddies

This is how you share a chair     Chow time #1     Napping, again    Cabin Fever   

Getting....very....sleepy     I wish the quality was better because this pose is ADORABLE!

 

Snooker, Simonie, & Ratso all at once:  It's like a Bigfoot sighting

Quick!  Find the camera! 

All three together        Feline Family Nap         One more time, with feeling         The traditional summertime configuration

Keep Ratso at a safe distance      This looks like a comfy spot    Daddy hosts Kitty Thanksgiving

Will wonders never cease....they're all looking at the camera!        Chow time #2

        

Toonces

Toonces was our sweet little kitten who was hit by a car when she was only a few months old, in 1994.  She was Simonie's predecessor.  Losing Toonces was a tragedy, but without that loss, Simonie would never have come into our lives and given us so much joy!

In retrospect, the name "Toonces" might have been an ominous choice.  ("Toonces the Driving Cat" in Saturday Night Live, after whom she was named, dies in every sketch because he is a horrible driver).
