Well, inspired by yesterday's success with the cats and camera, I spent a
good portion of the evening being a celebrity cat photographer as the boys
mugged for the camera.
There is a sequence of pictures of Otis grooming Chester, an intimidating
cat face, a bird flipping picture, and finally, a heartwarming hand holding
shot. They start here: http://tinyurl.com/y85jnw
Enjoy!

You'd think that Otis is an only-cat personality type. But he isn't.

It's surprising isn't it? He took to Chester like a duck to water the
instant they met. In fact, Chester was quarantined because he had caught a
kitty cold at the shelter before we picked him up. Otis threw himself at
Chester's door for two days until we finally relented. He started grooming
Chester right away and they have never done anything more than play fight -
a little rough sometimes - but playfighting just the same. He just really
needs company.

Otis does look intimidating. He has that haughty look down pat. Chester
is such a handsome boy. The hand-holding picture is very cute. I have a
hand-holding picture of Mir and Cal, too.

Awwww.... they are so handsome! Does Chester ever groom Otis? I was
looking at your folder with the Austin pictures and I could not believe
the garden shots. It's so different now!

Chester grooms Otis all the time too. Otis will arrive and lower his head
for Chester to groom. Chester is lousy at it though - he's got poor muscle
tone in his tongue and it flops around and soaks Otis ;-) I should check in
on your website and see your garden now too. I believe it was soul of the
garden?

A lovely set of pictures. I wish Snoopy and Baggy would be friends.

I surely did. How do you get them to stay still for the second shot,
much less the ones thereafter? Ours leave for more hospitable
surroundings when the bright light "winks" at them.

I was surprised too Sam - they don't usually sit still for the flash like
that. I took 59 pictures of them too!

Best buddies! I love when they do the hand hold thing. How human can you
get?!
