Almost 6 years ago, in early September of 2017, the cats were enjoying a nice day in the sunroom. This is not all of them - at the time I had 12 cats.

7 years ago today I brought home Avensby, who was born in my next door neighbours garden shed 8 weeks earlier. This picture was taken within a few minutes of getting her. She was not very happy here, but she quickly came around.

Today's Quote: “There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry … There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. Our political life is also predicated on openness. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress." - J. Robert Oppenheimer

Another picture of Mumma-Puma, this time with 2 different kittens from the same litter as the kittens yesterday. The other cat is 20 years old here, and he was a Lynx Point Siamese. He passed away just 17 days after this picture was taken. His name was Felemur. Actually, the only cat in this pictue that has not passed away is the tuxedo kitten Andi. You can see her in the Saturday, June 24 and Sunday, June 25 pictures.

I dreamt of Mumma-Puma last night - she is the mom cat with 2 of the 5 kittens from this litter. Mumma-Puma passed away getting on 5 years ago, but I still have both of these kittens, and they are just shy of 15 years old. This picture was taken in February of 2009. The kitten near the front of the chair is Daisy, and if you look to the picture from Friday, June 23, you can see Daisy just after she got her summer haircut.

Today's Quote: "A saucer flew right over (us), put down three landing gears, and landed out on the dry lakebed. (The cameramen) went out there with their cameras toward the UFO....

There was no doubt in my mind that it was made someplace other than on this earth." - Gordon Cooper (American aerospace engineer, test pilot, United States Air Force pilot, and the youngest of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first human space program of the United States. )

2014 is 9 years ago. Wow. I still have all 4 of them, but Elly-May (white with dark patches) looks like a senior now. 3 of the cats in this picture are 15 years old now.
Today's Quote: “The order-follower always bears more moral culpability than the order-giver, because the order-follower is the one who actually performed the action, and in taking such action, actually brought the resultant harm into physical manifestation. Order-following is the pathway to every form of evil and chaos in our world. It should never be sseen as a 'virtue' by anyone who considers themselves a moral human being. Order followers have ultimately been personally responsible an morally culpable for every form of slavery and every single totalitarian regime that has ever existed upon the face of the earth.” - Mark Passio
Picture Taken: July 2014.

This is so Margarita. She seems to be always making a face, or getting a strange look in her eyes. Love the rabbit ears and tongue out look.

Today's Quote: “For years I’ve watched governments take control of our lives, and their argument is always the same: fewer costs and greater efficiency. But the result is the same too: less control by the people and more control by the state, until the individual’s own wishes count for nothing. That is what I consider my duty to resist." - Violet Crawley
