Actually Molly Narcisus Bodie-Lilholt on the left, and Tux Morpheus Bodie-Lilholt on the right. Molly is a fluffy 10-month old spayed female originally called Kirsten by the OSPCA. Tux is a skinny 1-year old spayed female. They had both been 'surrendered' to the OSPCA meaning their owners had brought them in for adoption. They are not from the same litter or household. Susan gave them to me for my birthday and we brought them home on Jan. 9, 2005 from the Newmarket OSPCA - a really excellent pet facility. |

|
Here's a close-up of Molly hiding between the chair legs under the dining room table. |
|
|
Tux is a real skinny 'Halloween' cat, sitting here on the desk helping me on the computer. |
|
|
Tux, at the base of the stairs, considering whether to scramble up and attack me on not. |
|
|
Molly, wondering why Tux just scrambled up the stairs. |
|
|
OK, I confess, they get up on the bed sometimes. If we think it's the best place in the house for sleeping why would we expect them to think differently? |
|
Molly is very helpful when I'm working on the computer. She watches the mouse moving on the screen but wonders why there's nothing there when she leaps at it. She's smart enough to look behind the computer in case the screen is just a window! |
|
It's not a large basket, but there's room for two on the soft pillow. |
|
Caught in the act! What are you hiding under that pillow? |
|
Oh look! Molly has already become a useful member of the household. Here she is helping Susan pot a plant. |
|
Now we know why we have all that furniture in the living room, nicely arranged so that the sun lands on it all day long. |
|
Tux is a jungle cat at heart. Here she is lying in the jungle, dappled in sunlight, peeking out from the fronds of green. |
|
And when Tux gets outside, she heads straight for the trees, leaping for the high ground. She hasn't got stuck up a tree ... yet. |
|
Molly is a little more earth-bound, nibbling on the vegetation, lurking in the shrubbery. |
|
Tux is more of a hunter, waiting for something interesting to carelessly wander by ... maybe a mouse? |
|
Now that we've got new windows, the cats have their upstairs lookout over the street, always a nice sunny spot for sleeping. |
|
Molly is ready for a good licking ... "Here, come a little closer, there's a spot I can't quite reach ... ahhhhhh" |
|
What a pair! |
|
Ok, we all know cats are secretive and they have a secret life and secret names. But ... what the heck are they talking about? |
|
Molly likes to get up on top of the cabinets in the kitchen. She wanders around up there and keeps watch over everything that's going on. |
|
Tux gets up there too - can't let Molly have all the fun! |
|
Tux has found a place where it is warm, and there's a good view, and Molly can't sneak up on her |
|
|
Tux has a new favourite blanket to lie on even if Susan does kick her off at night. Today the sun is shining on it and life is purrrfect, |
|
|
Molly is, of course, in charge of everything that goes on outside. She likes to sit in the sun in the upstairs bay windows and survey the street. |
