Buster and Snookums

   Since our black-and-white cat, Hope, disappeared in February, we got two little kittens on May 31. We named them Buster and Snookums.

  This is Buster; he has a brown dot beside his nose.

  And here is Snookums; she's the one with the beard.

  Sometimes they fight...


   ...and sometimes they sit placidly, side by side.

  Sometimes they even dance!😄

 


   They like to follow us to the mailbox, as you can see by the silhouette.

    We enjoy our new cats; we miss our old cats. Here are a couple of them:

November

 She clothes herself in autumn's graceful gowns,

 In muted shades of grays, maroons, and browns.

 Her hems trimmed with the maple's paling leaves,

 Made brighter with the mosses that she weaves

 Throughout her garb. While snowflakes here and there

 Add glowing, shining accents to her hair.

 And when her garments fade and grow too tight,

 She decks herself in folds of sparkling white.
