Sorry this is such poor quality picture, but iPad in low light!
We had the gas fireplaces serviced this afternoon, and they were on for a short time. It is a right of fall that the cat bed(s) come back in front. Now there are two beds! But one is special and he (Shadow) who got there first does not mean exclusive ownership. She (Charlie) came and laid on top, until he got too hot and had to leave.

Mom! She's crowding me out again!
Shadow has had a hard year as he needed dental work in the spring and hated the many trips to the vet.
Charlie is bigger than Shadow now!

An unusual sight! The green blanket is Shadow's "domain" and he usually leaves if Charlie tries to join him. Of course that may be because she often tries to get him to wrestle and chase.

Sorry for the quality of ths one, but iPad and darkish room does not make good pictures. They are celibrating the return of "a" cat bed to in front of the fire place. I had the fall service done on October 6th. and these guys are happy it is back.

Charlie has also discovered that the floor is warm in front of the fireplace.

First day this fall the fireplace has been turned on. Shadow is in heaven.

They've sort of become friends - Shadow is jealous of attention to Charlie - and she frequently beats him up.
We moved the cat tree to a spot in front of the patio door in the basement - great for bird watching - and they've both adopted it. There is some discussion over who gets the top level.
Charlie is becoming more confident but is still skittish with humans. Pay attention - but not too close!

Charlie Cat has come to live with us.

A tribute to Pud who left this world Nov 21, 2019.

Shadow taking on a new persona - as a table lamp
(08:11:2019)
Pud considers the back of the couch her place to watch out the windows and the rest of the house. Shadow decided to join her but he was nervous when he heard the camera behind him. (06:02:2018)
Being in the same chair is no longer unusual. There is a mutual bathing session going on. What you can't tell is that Shadow arrives on the scene and eventually pushes Puddy out of "her" chair! (August 25, 2016)
They have become good friends, but this is the very first time that we have found Shadow and Puddy together in Sheila's chair. (Nov 28, 2015)
On the other hand, Sheila rarely gets to read or knit without help from both cats! Puddy is always on the knees, Shadow upside down under her elbow. Puddy resents this intrusion in HER space. (Nov 28, 2015)
Shadow was in need of a scratching pole long enough for him to stretch out. He seems to think this is a good place to be sociable at meal time, and Pud loves the center shelf when the sun shines. (March 22, 2015)
What you can't see are the 100 Pine Siskins a couple of feet the other side of the door. They do get together but more in a passing mood than in the friendship this suggests. (Feb 3, 2015)
Our next door neighbours came over to meet Shadow with treats and toys - including a catnip bag.
(13:01:2015)
On December 27, 2014 We were adopted by a new(ish) kitten (here-in called Shadow). He is a twice rescued cat about 1 year old.
