Meet Tonka

We thought we had a full house even before Archie adopted us last summer and let us know he is an indoor cat who wants to eat indoor kitty food with "the old ladies", Precious and Bootsie. Then number one son came home for a few weeks around Christmas and brought his kitten, Tonka, with him. Sonny is now gone, but Tonka remains. He came indoors with Sonny, and stayed indoors. In fact, he now sleeps at my feet and naps next to me on the loveseat.

Breakfast and dinner times have become rather regimented at our house. That is the best way to keep peace and to keep the kitties from trying to swipe another kitty's share. So, this is the chow line in our kitchen.

Everyone knows their place.

Precious and Bootsie do not think much of the new "young guys". Precious comes in to eat, then she is ready to go back outside no matter how bad the weather.

That is just fine with the guys. They have
turned the house into their private play
area. On this day, they just could not figure 
out how  they could see each other through this tote, but they could not touch.

Each kitty chooses their "spot" to nap,
with Bootsie daring the boys to come
near her. However, when the weather
is nice, she would just as soon snooze        
outside on a nice comfortable hose
reel.
