Friend Jonathan came by today...and posed his paws next to Jazz's.

Found Lynx hiding in the shower for some reason yesterday:

Where's Rumi? Sometimes he'll sit like a little statue across the room and just stare at me.

There's cat grass planted in that pot. There are a lot of little gnats that seem to live in or around the dirt. Rumi is the Great White Gnat Hunter.
