Friday, June 5, 2015, 4:50 pm — A musical birthday card arrived from Minnesota … Perkins HAD to find out where those singing, piano playing kittens were hiding …

Teeny, ever the cool cat with a fuchsia tongue, strolled around first … a little orange kitten watched her …

That little Siamese kitten thinks Teen is the cat’s pajamas … (Notice the Mini-Me Teeny and Perkins kittens on either end of the card?)

Saturday, February 14, 2015, 2:38 pm — It’s been two years and Teeny still enjoys fishing for food from her “activity center” … Bought it for fun and to slow down her eating … Teen is a survivor. When she had a cold the day after she came home from the Humane Society, she ate and ate, thank goodness! … Perky is more picky. What she leaves in her dish, Teen hoovers up.

Teeny is a natural left paw … Don’t look away, Perky! You’ll miss all the action … (Click photo for closeup of paw vs. food)

When Perk looked back, Teen had flicked out a few cat food pellets and was munch, munch, munching …

From Warren Photographic Image Library of Nature and Pets … Ginger Cats … UK studio photos, quite good … over 20 pages! … Orange tabbies also go by the names ginger cats, red tabbies, marmalade cats …
