Our two youngest, Tighe and Ronan, have grown into big boy cats. They have started to settle down a little but rest assured, if there is naughtiness going on in the house, you can still bet it's one of them. We've tried every sort of cat discipline you can imagine but nothing works. They just look at us with that little "huh?" look on their faces and run away, only to come back moments later to make a game out of it. As exasperating as they sometimes are, we forgive them most anything because they do things like this...
That's Ronan in the papasan chair with Fae, who was the runt of her litter. She was constantly ganged up on by her littermates which made her timid and shy, even with other cats. She's still the tiniest cat you ever saw in your life, and will hide at the slightest provocation but somehow Ronan and his brother Tighe have convinced her she need not be afraid of them. Ronan will snuggle up with her and Tighe will play a gentle little chase game with her and they are both so careful with her that it seems like they know that she needs special consideration. Cat love is a mysterious thing.
And here's another photo just so you can see the size difference. Ronan, who despite his somewhat dumpling-shaped physique, is really a normal sized cat. He is a year and a half old and Fae is almost 5.

Aww, Fae looks like Clancy.
So tiny! So precious!
Do want cuddles!
Awwww adorable overload. I think I feel my brain leaking out of my ears now.
She is the tiniest kitty, ever ! 4 pounds tops, I'll bet. Loki weighs 9lbs 6oz and is a big furry guy now. Can't wait for you to meet him !

That's almost enough cats to make a decent dog!
Awwww, TINY kitty!! Those are always the most difficult cats at the shelter, since you KNOW you can just pop them into your fleece and sneak home . . .
(w/v: puzzlin. how apropos for a cat post!)
Wow! And I thought Rommie was tiny.

Rommie is not small. You just keep comparing her to Indo , the walking haystack. Cats and dogs? Can't compare them. Differnt everythings !

The cute is sucking the air out of the room. :-P
And the thought of being in a room with that many felines makes my sinuses itch, eyes water and nose run.... yeeesh!
Very cute meow meows!
Awww, what a cutie! It's wonderful of you to provide a good home to the little one.
And five cats! My Monte will not tolerate even one more cat in my home. Otherwise I would add a cat or two.

Breda, I enjoy your blog. I like the guns, I like the librarian stuff, I like the politics.
But I love the kitties. Your Ronan looks like my Miss Thing, before the kittie diet plan. And Fae is just a cutie.
Yes, I am a cat person.
A place to live is really just a place to live, it's not really a home until a kitty moves in and takes over :)
In the first picture, Ronan is looking at Fae as if he is plotting against her. In the second, Fae looks angry. Maybe it's just the way the flash catches her eyes.
Very cute kitties though.
Fae is such a cutie!
Desmond ... has recently decided that he wants to be a lap cat. This is an awkward thing, considering he is probably close to 20 pounds and my lap isn't that big.
IOW, he's an overlap cat.
And there is something fundamentally wrong about a 5-yr-old cat that still looks like a half-grown kitten.
Aww, Fae looks like my Socks!
Clicky!
