Music – “Memory” from Andrew Lloyd Webber 60 by Elaine Paige. Released: 2008.

As of 2016, the musical “Cats” is the fourth-longest-running show in Broadway history, and was the longest running Broadway show in history from 1997 until 2006 when it was surpassed by The Phantom of the Opera. It has been performed around the world many times and has been translated into more than 20 languages. Cats is a sung-through musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliot, and produced by Cameron Mackintosh. (information courtesy of Wikipedia)

Enjoy the photos below, while listening to the fabulous theme song from “Cats”. Featured are our current cats, “Tux” and “Shadow”, however, there are a few pictures of cats we have loved and lost: “Amber”, “Casper”, and “Kisa”. Unfortunately, they lived in the days before digital cameras, so we don’t have many photos of them.

Music – “What’s New Pussycat? (Main Title)” from What’s New Pussycat? by Tom Jones. Released: 2008

**“So, I’m sitting in your mother’s favourite salad bowl. So what?”**

“I know I have cat litter dust on my face, so lose the camera, already!”

**“This is my emulation of Bastet, the Egyptian cat goddess. Pretty good, eh?”**

**“I can’t help it if my nose in the camera shot isn’t as good as the one of Tux!”**

**“I just love jumping on Shadow’s head as he walks by!”**

**“My nose shot is better than yours’ is!”**

**“Well, at least it’s not that stupid Roomba vacuum!”**

**“Anyone who said I’m not laid back was wrong!”**

The Many Shades of Shadow

Cats, Uncategorized

Shadow, and his brother, Tux, reside in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They are brothers from the same litter, born in April, 2008 (they’re celebrating the big 10 this year!) and adopted their bipedal parents in February, 2009 from High Desert Cat Rescue. Full of shenanigans and the warm fuzzies, this site is to amuse and delight cat-lovers. I expect lots of “oooh”s and “aw”s from the readers.

Shadow doesn’t enjoy reading as much as Tux, and is more laid back than Tux. It is difficult to photograph him, as he is not into posing like his brother and most photos of him are washed out due to his all-black coat in the sunlight. Unlike Tux, he’s not an avid TV watcher of the Winter Olympics. Enjoy the many shades of Shadow…

For the Love of Cats – The Many Moods of Tux

Tux and his brother, Shadow, reside in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They are brothers from the same litter, born in April, 2008 (they’re celebrating the big 10 this year!) and adopted their bipedal parents in February, 2009 from High Desert Cat Rescue. Full of shenanigans and the warm fuzzies, this site is to amuse and delight cat-lovers. I expect lots of “oooh”s and “aw”s from the readers.

Tux enjoys reading, mostly cookbooks, and loves watching downhill skiing and the luge in the Winter Olympics.

More to follow….in the meantime, enjoy this montage of photos of Tux I’ve taken over the years. A very dapper fellow, indeed.
