There is something just timeless about the beauty and simple integrity of a black and white photo. Seen here is our lovely Jazmine (click image to enlarge) modeling a quote by Wesley Bates that suits her purr-fectly.

Happy Wednesday and see you on the weekend with more Jazmine antics to follow…

To see full beauty (and to bring a smile to your day, click image to enlarge)

Simple, classic, and beautiful. I can’t do much more for Wordless Wednesday than to offer you this stunning image of Jazmine. Happy mid-week all – I hope I was able to brighten your week and give you a smile or to by bringing you a bit of kitty love!

Last week for Wordless Wednesday, I shared a retrospective of the Zee/Zoey gang as they are now – my grown up, feline family! For today’s Wordless Wednesday, I thought I’d go in the opposite direction and share an image of each of them in their younger days!! Wow… time sure does fly! Enjoy and have a great rest of your week!

Zee back in 2010. While he is older now, some things never change – he loved lounging on the counter then and he loves it now!

This was Zoey back in 2008 – it’s hard to believe she was a mama less than a year after that! Just look at that precious face – it’s no wonder I fell in love with her the second I laid eyes on her!

Even as a youngster, Rolz has always looked mature for his age. Seen here he is celebrating his first birthday with a card sent to him from his brother, Zeuss, who lives in Boston.

Mia has always looked like a pretty princess. Here she is at 5 months of age.

Peanut has a look of terror in her eyes as she sits atop this fake, life-size panther we have in our dining room (doesn’t everyone have a life-size panther in their dining room?) She is a little over a year in this picture and perhaps the terror stems from the fact she might think it is a real panther!

This was Kizmet in November of 2013 – he was about four months old when I resuced him and this was him at the vet’s office for a checkup to make sure he was healthy before I introduced him to the rest of the cats.

This was Jazmine last March when she was about four months old. This was the first time she ventured out of the bedroom we had her staying in so that we could slowly introduce her to the rest of the feline household. Suffice it to say she has ruled the roost ever since…

I thought as we all try to play catch-up from the craziness of the holidays and settle into the routine of the New Year, it would be nice just to take a mid-week break by doing nothing but looking at beautiful kitties for a moment. To help in that regard, I have selected a picture of each of my darling cats. All of these are recent photos that Dan has taken within the past couple of months and it’s just amazing how big they’ve all gotten…

The King of the Castle… our handsome Zee.

And his beautiful Queen… the always stunning Zoey.

Wide-eyed Mia.

Sweet and loving Peanut.

Handsome Rolz.

A regal Kizmet.

Our gorgeous Jazmine – while she is a big girl, she’s not nearly as wide as the photo would suggest… it’s just the angle of the camera!

I hope you enjoyed the pictures – I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t possibly pick a favorite, they are all so beautiful! Have a great day and wonderful rest of the week!

Just look at these sweet faces!! These are my seven furbabies and I love them with all my heart even though sometimes it can hurt!

I obviously love my kitties my than words could possibly convey, but I gotta admit that sometimes loving them hurts. Such as when Peanut makes biscuits on my belly – sometimes she does it with such vigor that it nearly draws blood with her sharp claws and it rearranges my innards to the point I hear all kinds of weird gurgling noises coming from my stomach.

Or those times that one of the cats will use my head as a launching pad when I am  innocently sitting on the couch… this too can draw blood, or at the very least scare the heck out of me. And then, of course, the numerous times I fall as a result of tripping over one of them as they wind around my legs as I try to walk or the times I trip over a toy on the floor…

But there is no love more painful than that of trying to show someone(or somecat as the case may be) just how much you love them… Check it out to see what I mean… Read more
