At the TICA Tukwilla cat show in October, I happened on this cat dressed as Jack Sparrow.

Sheri B. writes: Update on Miyuki…she is a wonderful pet.  Totally adaptable, and yet full of personality.  She is now able to sit in a sunny window and overlook a beautiful lake with vibrant fountain and water fowl.  Squirrels bounce along the tree branches that overhang near the top of the window view…she has not thought to look up yet so she doesn’t know they exist.

Erin B. adopted my F3 Golden Rod (G-Rod), who was a very special queen and dear pet. It was a bitter sweet farewell-I knew she would be missed, but, also know it's a special right of passage for a queen or stud to retire to a new home after years of having or siring kittens. Pictured to the left is Erin's first Bengal, Clyde and G-Rod having a little love fest.

Erin explained in a progress note: "Clyde really likes to chase and wrestle, and sometimes I think poor Goldenrod is always on alert, waiting to get jumped. Luckily she fits under the couch and Clyde doesn't, so she has a place to go when she's had enough. When Clyde mellows out they groom one another, and they are starting to sleep within a couple feet of each other - but no cuddling yet. G-rod has been a lovely addition to the household; she's a very sweet and loving cat, and I think she's getting settled in here just fine."

At a certain time in the spring & fall when conditions are just right, this beautiful sunrise scene unfolds. When the sun rises just behind Mt. Rainier & the clouds are higher than the mountain, the purplish shadow is cast upon the sky. It's one of those moments I have to stop what I'm doing and let the drama unfold as colors, patterns & lighting transform a routine morning into a spectacular birth of a new day.
Dean K. writes: "He (Spot) is an incredible, highly-intelligent cat and is just hitting his stride now at 10 years of age.  He will put up with anything when around children (but he also knows when it's time to go hide such as 10 year olds birthday parties with a dozen kids." "All-in-all, he is the most amazing cat I've ever owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).  I'm sending along these pictures for you to add to your collection."

Barbara M. has 4 happy Bengals from Epsilon. I could present all the great things Barbara's said about her cats but the fact that she came to me twice to fill out her quartet of Bengals after adopting her first 2 from Epsilon, pretty much says it all.

TAKE YOUR CAT TO WORK DAY. Occasionally I take a cat to work. This day it was Kaito and he loved it as did my colleages.

This gentleman, Bill F, past away but his companion Bengal, Epsilon Tonga lives on. For about 3 years Tonga was one of Bill's primary companions. Tonga was very much Bill's cat and they seemed to enjoy a very special relationship.

Tonga, took quite a bit of time to get over Bill's absence, but has adjusted to a new home living with Bill's daughter in California.

The story: Mom asked her daughter not to pick up the kittens without permission. I allow children to handle kittens with guidance but quietly respected the mother's wishes.  
While we were in another part of the room talking about adoption, this cute little gal was having her way and handling the kittens. I glanced over at the girl out of the corner of my eyes periodically as I always do when kids are around (for the safety of the kids & kittens) and caught a glimpse of this precious interaction of child and kitten. Since the camera was in reach, I discreetly snapped a few quick candid pictures.
The first picture was the girl's innocent "caught in the act"  expression. The second is her reaction of being in the spotlight & having her picture taken while the adults were chuckling.
Russell acquired this fine boy, named SGC Epsilon Clouseau to show. He has so much fun showing and being young and spontaneous, decided to have his hair dyed with a leopard print pattern for the Santa Rosa, California show (1997). He obtained a title of Supreme Grand Champion (SGC).
