In this picture, a ginger tabby kitty is climbing into a black fabric bag that has a round clear porthole, and you can see his face inside the bag as he examines the orange toy fishes inside. Just past that toy bag is a ginger tabby stuffed toy of Stubbs the cat from the Catman of West Oakland’s fundraiser years ago.

Fish!! Tony goes for the fish at the bottom of the bag

Two black cats sitting on a Mexican blanket covered ottoman. The cat on the left is a very small black cat and her left paw is extended - her right paw is curled under. Cuddled along the edge of the ottoman is Eclipse and he’s reaching out with both front paws. They’re both looking at the photographer

Miss Mercy was there first - Eclipse just wanted a cuddle

Tony the ginger tabby tuxedo kitty sits side by side with Simón the black cat on the bathroom sink (pink sink visible left side and powder blue toilet behind them) Both cats are looking at the photographer. You can see that they are pretty equal in size.

Actually, I think Tony’s head might be enough the same size as Simón (aka the Seamonster)

Ginger kitty sitting in profile, looking out the window to the left side of the photo. Behind him, Eclipse on the left and Valentino on the right - they are both looking toward the photographer, but the kitty is focused on birds on the birdfeeder

Guess who is now the 2nd heaviest cat in the house at 11lb 11oz? Simón at 11lb 9oz and Eclipse 11lb 2oz

Tony’s head isn’t quite as big as Eclipse and Simón’s heads yet

In this picture, we see a ginger tabby kitten under a light blue quilt on a dark purple sheet, looking at the photographer. He clambered up in here on his own, so of course a photo had to be captured. After the quilt was dropped, he proceeded to continue roaming around under the quilt attacking feet and other cats on the bed

Tony isn’t the only cute cat in the house but there’s appeal to his constant discovery of new fun things to do

In this picture, we see some cats sleeping on a bed no big surprise because that’s pretty much what they do 18 hours a day anyway. Closest to the bottom of the photo is a red cotton blanket laid over a log cabin quilt. The ginger tabby kitten is a topless blanket, laying on his left side with his back to the photographer. He’s yawning again and he’s pulled his ears back as he opens his mouth wide. His front paws are crossed with his little white mittens, pointing toward his friends on the teal blanket. There is a teal fleece blanket, laid across the pillow pillows and the upper part of the bed. A black cat is stretched out on his right side with his belly against the pillows. His friend, the seal point Siamese is laying on his right side also, but with his hind legs toward his friends back.

Ginger tabby kitten is laying on his back on a red blanket. He’s reaching up with his left front paw punching the air while his head twist to the left and his body is curved and his back legs are also twisted. He’s a bit like a little ginger pretzel right now His eyes are closed. It’s late afternoon so there’s plenty of daylight, but it’s coming in from the window toward the upper left corner of the photo.

Didn’t your tabby kitten laying on his left side stretching out all four legs toward the photographer and yawning a big yawn with his mouth open and his eyes squinched shut

A ginger tabby kitten and a black cat sit on a red blanket, which is on top of the gray cat condo next to the window. They are both looking out window windows and not directly at the photographer. The kitten has his paws up on the edge of the cat condo so he looks a little bigger than the black cat in this photo.

Same kitties except this time, the ginger tabby kitten has turned out to look over his right shoulder at the photographer, and the black cat now has his feet up on the edge of the cat condo as he is looking out the window and looks a bit taller than the orange kitty

Tony and Eclipse - I think Tony’s head is getting bigger and it’s nearly the same size as Eclipse’s head

Now he’s looking directly at the photographer and his tail has curled up over his right hip

Now he is looking over to the right again at the seal point Siamese cat, who is sitting on a brown patterned rug, looking toward the photographer.

Now he is sitting back, pushing off the side of the box with his paws into the opposite side. His tail is seuishing fiercely and we see it mid swish.
