What a pair of handsome boys! I didn't realize that Filou was 13 years old. Even Mango at eight and a half, is slowing down a bit. He used to jump from the floor to the top of a door in a single bound. Now he needs to kick off of the door knob for that extra boost.

Years back (maybe 2005?) a couple of Filou pictures captured that relationship we share with our kitties - how much they are part of our lives and how much they fill our days with their affection and companionship. Abys, of course, need to inspect all foods that are prepared or brought into the household. I have several friends whose Abys have a reserved spot on the kitchen counter where they sit and observe, inspect and sample the foods being prepared.
