Soccer Poses for the Camera

The Cat Family

An oldie from the past taken at Christmas 2004. Five cats Piper, Soccer, Lilly, Little Missy, and Casey.

Max, Hershey, and Sullivan

Getting a picture of this rowdy group is not an easy task. It took some serious playing to get them tired enough to sit still for one family portrait.

Sullivan the Grandpuppy

Sullivan is the newest member to the family. He lives in Charleston and like all Lab puppies, he likes sleeping, playing, and chewing. This day, he was taking a walk on Isle of Palms beach.

What a Life !!!!

What a life. It's just so hard being a cat. I mean, with all this laying around, what is a cat to do? I guess he can always pick a fight with Little Missy or Lilly if he can get up the engery.

Lazy Lilly

Max on his Best Behavior

The first shot is what I usually see when I go out to take a picture of Max. He sees the camera and that is it. He is going a mile a minute the whole time that I am in the yard with the camera. Today, I got the rare opportunity for a portrait. Actually, I had to really kick the shutter speed up and use a fast flash to grab a stationary picture.

Lilly under the Christmas tree

What is it about cats and Christmas trees. This is the favorite time of the year for the cats. They just love hanging out under the lights and decorations, of course they also like to sneak a few off the tree to play with when no one is looking

Cry Baby

This is Cry Baby. He lives at the Grace Community Center in Steertown, Jamaica. Even though Soccer, Lilly, Little Missy, Hershey, and Max have not met Cry Baby in person, he is a special friend of the family.

Little Missy the Tuna Hound

Little Missy has become quite a tuna hound. Every morning when I am making my lunch for work, this crazy cat about drives me nuts until I open the can and pour some of the tuna water into the sink for her. What a treat! As soon as I come into the room she starts hanging out by the can opener waiting. If I am too slow, she is sure to protect the precious cargo until opening time.

Calculating Cat

Nothing like having a geek kitty with his wireless router and calculator.

Soccer, the Apple of My Eye

Why is it that cats will crawl into anything that you put down, even for just a minute? I guess it is just the cozy feeling that it gives them. Soccer will crawl into any box there is. It dosen't matter whether big or little, if he can fit you can bet he will be there.

Black Cat Pocketbook

A new pocketbook and it has kitties on it too. What more could you ask for?

Lilly Up Close and Personal

Ever since Little Missy moved in, Lilly keeps an open eye for a chance to harass the new kitty in the house. These two think it is great fun to hiss at and chase each other. I don't know if they will ever be friends. I just hope that they will at least tolerate each other.

New Cat in the House

Due to a recent move, Little Missy needed a new place to live and has moved in full time with her cousins Soccer and Lilly. She has adapted very well to the humans in the house, but getting along with her cat cousins is taking more effort. Soccer and Missy seem to be coming to an agreement to ignore each other, but there is still a lot hissing and fighting between Lilly and Missy.. Oh, well. Maybe there will be peace in the house one day.

In Memory of Casey

Today we lost a wonderful loving cat and a true friend of the last 16 years. Casey first came to live with us after being adopted from the SPCA. He and Danny, were adopted on the same day. When we brought them home, you could hold one in each hand. They were so tiny. We lost Danny a few years ago and then Max and Hershey came to live with us. Casey was the most loving cat and friend right up to the end. With all his medical problems, he just finally gave out. He will really be missed.

Contest Girl

Tonight, the photography club had a challenge to pick a room and take 10 different pictures. Miss Lilly was kind enough to pose for the first picture, since she was already in the den where I was going to take the pictures.

Soccer keeping the bed bugs away

If you lay down, Soccer thinks it is his duty to come and protect you while you sleep. Of course it may just be that he likes to snuggle. At any rate, you always have a friend at nap time.
