{Our Copy Cats}

Raising a feline family is not difficult because you have one and the rest are just 'Copy Cats'. Have a look at some of our Copy Cats. These photos were taken the day before we went on our cruise to the Bahamas. When I came outside to empty the bucket after mopping the floors, they were lined up on the retainer wall and I had to make some photos. It was just hilarious. See for yourself and tell me if you too have cats that mimic one another. It is so much fun to watch them get along. When we work in the garden, they follow us like a doggy. Also when we make the rounds, at the end of the day for instance to check our wood garden and other garden, they follow us on foot. Our dear friend Mariëlle called that: The Cat Walk...
Here Barty, our male Alpha Cat, (to the right) is instructing Speckie our youngest girl how it is done...
Okay, let's line up now! Barty is in the center and Bandido is in the front...
The alternating look: Bandido looks to the right, Barty to the left and Speckie to the right...
Now all facing the road to the left!
Turn around and look the other way... Bandido is not yet turning his head as he listens to Barty!
Okay, got it! But it's my fault for not capturing Speckie's face...
This 'Copy Cats-show' made me laugh! 
Guess cats do have a great sense of humor too.

  4. Liebe Mariette,
    es macht einen großen Unterschied ob man eine oder mehrere Katzen hat. Ich finde, mehrere Katzen sind besser, weil sie sich natürlicher verhalten. Es ist so schön zu sehen, wie sich deine Katzen vertragen. Der Frieden und die Harmonie eures Anwesens wird da richtig sichtbar.
    Liebe Grüße, Johanna

  8. Dear Mariette, I am back in Seattle after a three-week European vacation. I finally have some time to visit my friends' blogs! I am glad I stopped by yours today. What a fun post. These pics are hilarious, so perfect, they almost look "staged" (but we, cat owners know that there is no staging a picture if a cat is involved. They only do as they please :-) Bon weekend, Mariette. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

  20. Grappig Mariette! Ik heb een kater uit Nederland en een poesje uit Frankrijk. Alletwee met grijze streepjes, meen dat je dat een cypres noemt.
