New faces

Cats Featured today Jessie, Maddy and Oscar.
All new faces at the cattery with the arrival of Lucky, Bonnie, Oscar, Jessie and Malibu. Some of these impossible to photograph due to either hiding or a bit too active. Will persist until I get them.
A cooler day today and everybody happy. Even Oscar that was a bit upset has relaxed now and eager to get cuddles.
Jessie is a divine 12 yo Birman, beautiful in body and nature.
Maddy has moved to her valley view room and seems to be adjusting.
More cat ladders from around the …

A couple of hot days but we got a breeze here in the hills, so all the cats enjoying the weather in their patios. We have a full house so we thought we'd show you a few of our guests.
