As you can see, Tom is deciding what he can go off and do first

He has the whole garden to choose from

Here comes Candy to join in and supervise

'I know' says Candy. 'lets have a game of You-Look-One-Way-I'll-look-the-other. I'll go first'

more coming...

'okay Tom, I'm not playing any longer. I have my gymnastics practice to do. Just have a game on your own....'

Poor Tom.

All good gymnasts first need to test the equipment for suitability - claws are very effective for this

Purrfect balance is essential

as is a varied routine

it takes a lot of skill to pose so beautifully, putting most weight on the front two paws, as Candy demonstrates here

And back to the standard position

a 180 turn adds variety to the routine

now hold that position.........

one more spin, then prepare to dismount

Meanwhile, Tom considers his next move very carefully (awww doesn't he look small in this picture)

Inspired by Candy's athleticism he decided that tree-climbing would be his sport of choice for the day

Oh no, where is Tom, who on earth can find him??

The blackies decide they are nearly done in the garden, but first Candy must inspect the shed. It is a very important job

'okay Tom, we're done here. Let's get back inside and see what Max has been up to...'

Not a lot as you will see. Poor Max had a traumatic night last night with all the rotten fireworks so is sleeping off his stress

what a handsome big boy

and a considerate one too. He decided his sister needed a bath at the end of a very busy day

how cute is his pink-y tongue?

'MAX!!! I was enjoying that - why did you stop??

And Finally, here's one of Max, Candy and Tom resting after what has been, you will agree, a very eventful day. Hope you enjoyed!

OH my, my, my. Such beautiful pictures.

The athletic abilities that Candy & Tom have, will sure win them the Gold medal in the Catolympics.

Max, I don't blame you for catching up on your sleep from stressing out over those noisy fireworks and to take the time to give your sister a bath is just priceless.

I truly enjoyed viewing each picture. Candy, Tom and Max are such beautiful cats.
