Thanks for the nice comments everyone.

KAK - yes it seems Moxie has grown recently. She used to be about the same size as Scout but now she's bigger. Strange for a cat to have a growing spurt at 2 years of age.

Medusa and Lut - I think I'm lucky with the long haired cats. Ripley get a few mats around his hips and tail but nothing major and Rocky gets them on the inside of his back legs but Rumor hardly every mats. Her mane will clump and fall out in the spring but that's about it. She won't let me brush her either. Rocky will tolerate it for a minute and Ripley LOVES to be brushed.

Barbara - these pictures definitely don't tell of all the sickness and problems we've been having lately. I'm just trying to put on a happy face and not wallow in it.
