This is another picture of Big Blue. My daughter and son-in-law are his people and he's named for the mascot of Old Dominion University where they both graduated. He and his sister, Katrina, were adopted from the Norfolk SPCA several years ago and they are the sweetest kitties. Blue is the welcomer of the house along with their dogs, Falco and Gabbi. The dogs are German Shepherds and they love the kitties, too.
This is how OK sleeps most of the time. It is his chair! We rarely sit there because he has it coated with his fur. The pillow belongs there, but not in the middle, only on the side so he can stretch out whenever he wants. He sits there to watch us and the tv. Watching me knitting and my DH reclining and watching tv. Ok was a stray who adopted us a couple of years ago and he knows how good he has it now. He's a sweet animal, too. We are really lucky!
This is Pumpkin! She's about 9 years old and fat and sassy. Here she's sitting on the kitchen table, which is one of her favorite spots, because she can look out the window and watch the birds and the whole world go by. She is allowed to go out, but rarely does. She's really a big chicken! You can't see it here, but her tail is about 5 inches long and bent. She's truly an original and we love her dearly. Right now we're fighting some allergies with her, but she's healthy otherwise and not diabetic (the Vet checked!)
This kitty is OK. He adopted us and before we had him neutered he lived outdoors, so we nicknamed him Outdoor Kitty. Well....we fell in love and officially adopted him, having him neutered and then allowing him indoors. He still loves to go outside, several times a day, but he is more than an outdoor animal, so we've changed it to OK. He knows he has a good thing, living with us, and he makes it very clear that he loves us, too. He sits in his own chair in the family room, along with sitting near the computer. Occasionally he deigns to have us pet him, but he's not a lap cat. In the room with us at all times, petting when he wants it, but no closer, most of the time.
That's it for now!

In memory of Mr Nikki, I'm posting his picture to celebrate Halloween. He was an 16 year old cat when he left us and we loved him dearly. He had such character and charm. I miss him a lot.
He would sit next to me while I was knitting and would bat at my needles and play with some of the yarn, but the funniest thing he did was to drag my knitting out of any opened bag and literally drag it across the room to make a bed with it. He LOVED my knitting, possibly more than I did.
We have two other cats now and love them, too. They don't even know what my knitting is. One of them, OK, loves to sit by the desktop computer, right next to the mouse, and be petted, so we sometimes call him the Computer Kitty. The other one, Pumpkin, (pictures later) doesn't like my knitting because it keeps her from my lap quite a bit. If she would just learn to let it rest on her back, everything would be fine.
I'm knitting several things right now, but the main one is a pair of short socks for Tom, my son. I'll post a picture when they are finished. I'm also getting ready to start a pair for myself out of my wonderful Scout yarn. It is gorgeous!!!
That's all for this morning! ;-)
