These are all just taken like snapshots (I know little about photography) with Pentax and Nikon DSLRs (we left the Pentax behind at DFW, we think .

Our first full feral family. The tuxy is the papa, we named him Domino. The tortie is the mama, she is Ringtail. We didn't name this litter. We got them spayed/neutered/vaccinated (but we could never catch the adults). In a year's time, they were all gone.


Sweet Richard, RIP. Made the drive from California to Virginia, in 2000. Died at age 12.


Harry, the kitty love of my life, RIP. Richard's littermate.




Cocoa, Mrs. V.’s special kitty. Found in the undercarriage of a truck at 5 weeks of age.


Petey and Charley Girl. Petey, the Siamese, was born on 9/11/01. Charley is about seven years old.


Here is Charley Girl. We had her ear-tipped because we thought she (and her whole litter) would be feral. Little did we know . . .


Toby The Long, Petey’s littermate.



This is Daddy RIP. He was badass. We named him Daddy because we guessed that he must be Petey’s and Toby’s daddy.



Daddy on the left, Richard on the right, and a transient pal whom I called Big Charlie, stuck in the middle.


Skittles, named after the DUer who will KICK YOUR ASS! One of Charley Girl's littermates.


I'm going to have to post the others later, as Photobucket is having a spasm.
