Nice shot! They sure do look like they are enjoying the good life!
ReplyDeletePrecious! Your tabby looks like my Lily.
ReplyDeleteGot to try your laundry recipe.All the ingredients are readily available in my grocery store. I use Fells Naptha (a solution of) for garden pests.
How adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat's not very wordless! Nice kitty, kitty. Got four myself. Ten if you count the kittens. They need homes. Want one! Prissy is getting fixed! She's a floosy!
