January Abys... and a Tabby

[Randy_K]

Some random pictures of Mango, Peaches and Bubbles:

It's "cold" by Los Angeles standards. Mango has camped out in front of the fireplace until this nasty weather breaks...

Mango is far too helpful at the computer. Guess where the warm air vent is on the machine?

Sleepyheads. Peaches always has a foot under her chin. Mango likes the small bed.

Mango likes to ride on shoulders... for as long as he wants

Bubbles rests in the oddest positions

Finally... our sweet Bubbles. She has a long, long tail. We think she's part lemur.

What beautiful cats.And spoiled with Love :) Looks they have it made in your lovely home :) That fire looks so cozy.They must really love cuddling in front of the fire.I know I would :)

[Barbara]

Sooo good to see you and the A+B gang (that would be the Abys and Bubbles) again. :)

Now eventually you Californians know what fireplaces are for.

I think I've never seen such a good picture of Bubbles, showing of her lemur tail (I have no idea how the grey ones with the stripey tail from Madagascar are named in English- that would be the ones ;)) and her beautiful cat face :)

[CultureJunky]

Yey, pictures of Mango and Peaches with their beautiful feline comanion Bubbles. Mango's website was one of the first I found when I first had the internet years ago, it's been in my favourites for a long time and I always show people it too :)
Nice to see you all again ;)

[jenluckenbach]

Such GORGEOUS kitties. I giggled at the inexpensive cat carrier. :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I love ALL your cats!! Funny pose on that shoulder ;) :D

He, I'd like to order one of those "bags-including-cat" !!

What a cutie!Cally used to do the shoulder thing until she lost balance and rolled off and used my back lol it hurt!

[Randi]

What wonderful pictures! The warm air vent MUST be on the left side of your machine! LOL! Mango surely knows where to sit to keep warm. :) Peaches is so cute with her paw under the chin, she seems to have quite a good life too. :)

I don't think I've ever seen bubbles before, what a beautiful girl she is! I take it she weighs more than Mango and Peaches?

Kisses to them all!

[shais_mom]

Those are fabulous pics as always! :)
I love the cat in the bag one.
And the one with Mango on your shoulder - you both look
fabulous! :D

[Randy_K]

I don't think I've ever seen bubbles before, what a beautiful girl she is! I take it she weighs more than Mango and Peaches?

Mango is all of 8.5 pounds (3.8 kg), Bubbles is 6.3 lbs (2.8 kg) and little Peaches is 6 lbs (2.7 kg). Mango will be 6 years old on February 12, Bubbles was 6 this last October 11 and little Peachie is about 4 and a half - we don't really know because she was rescued off the street. A pure bred! It happens...

Mango and Bubbles are parteners in crime. Neither is strong enough to open mirrored sliding closet doors but the two of them... means things knocked off of shelves! Peaches sleeps in a chair with a clear view of the kitchen. She's a little "In-Sink-Erator with fur" (In-Sink-Erator is a brand of kitchen waste disposers for those of outside the USA). She's not quite gotten free of her alley cat ways when it comes to food. Barbara has seen that one!

Great pictures!!! I love the bag kitty, LOL.

[gini]

Thanks, Staci, for directing me to this thread. RandyK - how terrific to see you and as Barbara says "the A"s and B". I never really got to see Bubbles as she had tucked herself as far back in a closet as you could get and I think I heard her hiss "I don't like company!"

I love the new cat carrier you have - and the resident is as beautiful as ever.

[rosethecopycat]

What FUN! :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

They're all gorgeous and it's nice to see them again.:) Bubbles is so petite that at first I thought that she was also an Aby until I saw her stripes.:) My Sunny is an Aby mix and is quite the monkey cat. I can only imagine what it's like to have a purebred Aby in the house.;)

[rg_girlca]

What lovely pictures of your beautiful cats. :)

I love the way Mango sleeps with his paw under his chin. Too darn adorable.

I would love to have one of those inexpensive cat carriers also, providing that gorgeous kitty comes with it. ;)

I didn't even know you had another cat. Bubbles is such a pretty cat. I just love the soft colors on her.

[catmandu]

Not only Mango, but his Guardian as well.
Thats a great Photo of a Fine Gentleman and his Cat.

[Laura's Babies]

I just LOVED this whole thread! Those pictures were TOPS! The BEST!....and the one in the bag and the one with the paw under the chin, so SO FUNNY!... Typical "C A T!"

[sasvermont]

It is so good to see you and the cats looking healthy and happy. Thanks for making my day!

Sas and her brats! ;)

[Randy_K]

I neglected to tell about the very shy Miss Bubbles. When someone knocks on the door Mango and Peaches (the Abys) run to the door but Bubs runs to hide in a closet. Like Gini said, she does her Marlene Dietrich thing ("I want to be alone").

Her fur is as soft as a bunny and she has kind of a baby powder scent. Her white bib and paws are absolutely snow white. She's really a sweet girl.

When I saw this Randy, I thought how fabulous the kitties look (I have a photo of them floating on a canal here on my desk..the photo is on my desk, not the canal.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ) and I thought how healthy YOU look!

[gini]

Randy, I noticed how well you look too, but at first, thought it might be best to say nothing. But thanks to Sara, I realized that no, you need to hear it from us. You do look great. I realize that it has been a long way "from there" to "here" and it is just terrific seeing you look so healthy.

[Barbara]

Ok if everyone tells you how good you look I will queue for that as well.
But nobody will get me to say that you look better than Miss Bubbles with her cute tongue on her cute nosie ;)

BTW: I have seen Bubbles :)
As opposite to certain Scottish kitties of which I cannot tell whether they are two or three - I never saw more than two together.........

Regarding Aby weight: Filou has been 3.2 kg and is now close to 3- so Mango would wrestle in a different weight class and it explains why Filou is often considered as a girl.

[shais_mom]

I had hoped I had it covered when I said you both look wonderful but I'll say it again - YOUUUUU look WONDERFUL!

[Randy_K]

Thanks! It's been a long trip since I fell down the Rabbit Hole a few years ago and I know most of you only saw me just out of the hospital looking my worst. I'm almost at the end of treatment now being estimated at the end of May - relying just on how quickly my body gets the job done. Curing an incurable cancer with experimental treatment...

I was caring for the furry monsters for three weeks while Bev was out of the country. Mango and I have been buddies since he was 2 months old and, fortunately, Abys are easy to move when they are with someone they know. They took over my home a few minutes after they got there and made it their own. It took Bubbles a week to start socializing.

Peaches and I had a disagreement. She thought it OK to trample and sample whatever I was preparing to eat. My immune system isn't fully recovered yet so I needed her off the counter. After the 50th (60th, 70th???) time I set her on the floor she got the message. The next morning she was sitting in the sink. "See. I'm not on the counter!" Smart little girl.

[kimlovescats]

All of your babies are just so beautiful! I loved all of the pictures! Mango in the bag and the one wrapped around Daddy's shoulders were extra cute. :D

[critter crazy]

OMG!!! your kitties are just so gorgeous!!!!:eek:

[catlover4ever]

Thanks for sharing such wonderful pics of your babies. I love Mango in the bag and I would love to snuggle up next to any one of your babies. :)
