Hubert appears considerably bigger in some pics than in others; this is
explained by the date stamp the camera puts on the pics. He's the
growingest lil sucker I ever did see. :-)

Wow. Hubie has become such a handsome young catman. I love his nose. I
doin't know what's special with it, but I just love it. :oP Boop it for
me, OK? LOL about the definition of a Hube. And awwww, Lula is a
bags-and-boxes kind of lady! Just like Nikki. Lovely pics of Mikey, too.
He looks like butter wouldn't melt, doesn't he?

Yes, Lula has never met a box she didn't like. Did Nikki have a clear
distinction between boxes for playing in and boxes for sleeping in?
Lula knows right away which is which. :-)
Hubie's nose looks big because he's got a big patch of brown hair on
the bridge (?? that's what it would be called on a human face) but then
his actual nose is lined like with eyeliner. I love it too.
And Mikey was indeed deceptively angelic looking. One of the best
camoflage jobs *ever*. :-P

Aww. Nikki used boxes exclusively for lounging and sleeping, except if
Frank tried to take over a box, when a fierce Battle of the Box would
break out. If Frank was walking by a box that Nikki was lounging in, she
would often give him a bap in passing, just to show him not to even
think of trying to take it away from her.

Oh joy! WOW, has he grown! I love Hubie's stripes and spots, they
so bold and clear-- and his velvety paws. He has become such a
handsome young man! And very, very boop-able. ;)
And Lula is such a beauty! Great to see them.

Hube has started using his velvet paws to boop us back! Suddenly there
will be a light touch on hand or foot or face, and it's Hubie, giving
*you* a boop!

Really! My Mimi used to give pokes. Not boops, pokes, really hard.
Two at a time. "POKE POKE." She was a persistent little minx.

Thank you! Hubie is indeed big, but even though he's had his first
birthday he's still very much a kitten. He alternates bursts of
waaayyy too much energy with times of needing to cuddle with meowmie
and make little babykitten squeaks. ;-)

Every day I think about how they got here, and my heart stops, thinking
what if I'd taken out the trash just ten minutes later, or if Lula
hadn't been more hungry than scared. We are *very* lucky to have these
little sweethearts. And they remind us of that every day. ;-)

He certainly is a hunk ;-) I don't know why, but I had the idea that the
was long-haired, or semi-long. He is my favourite mackerel tabby pattern.
<Mackerel tabby lads are der best, even with some white on - Boyfriend>
Ahem. As I was saying.. he is a very handsome chap and Lula is a beautiful
girl. All eyes on photos like black cats are ;-)
He looks such a kind, chilled out sorta chap! And he smiles just like BF!

Klassic Tabbies are our favorites, over here....
Sorry, Francesca, the resident expert in Classic Tabbydom had to put in her
two Sardines worth. =o) Nina is more of a mackeral tabby though, so
everyone's happy.
Hube is EMINENTLY boopable, although he is huge!

I'm afraid I don't know the difference between a classic tabby and a
mackeral tabby. Are they different patterns?
Both your girls are lovely, but I confess to having a special fondness
for Nina and her adorable little funny face. :-)

It looked when Hubie was a baby that he might turn out long-haired;
they thought so at TED's office. As it is, his spotted little belly is
a bit shaggy, but other than that he turned into a sleek short-haired
kittyman. A lot of what you write about Boyfriend reminds me of Hubie,
actually; they both seem to have that similar sweet temperament, though
Hubert is *full* of energy. I am hoping some chilling out will happen
eventually. ;-)
Lula is indeed beautiful; I wish her pictures turned out better. You
can't really see her sweet little face very well.

from my eyes when I saw Mike too - I know he was a very special cat.

Thank you, Susan. Mike was my little furry soulmate. It seems like he
and Otis had quite a lot in common; problematic, but endearing. :-)
Lula does look elegant, but actually a lot of the time she's a little
goofball. It's only when she and I are alone, with no DH and no Hubie,
that she lets her fur down, so to speak, so it's hard to get a pic of
her being silly.

Hey, Christine! Hubie weighs about 16 pounds, as best I can tell by
peering over his squirming self at the bathroom scale. He does have
big feet, which makes me suspect he may not be *quite* finished
growing. He has pretty much grown into that ridiculous tail of his,
though. For a while there we were suspecting he was actually a lemur.
:-P

It is an unusual tail. It looks like bridge cable, covered with fur.

Wonderful pics, Krista! Thanks for sharing them. With my weakness for
tabbies, I think Hubert is a VERY handsome cat. Talulah is beautiful too,
though. She obviously takes great care of her beautiful, silky black coat.
