Sweet! Bill Layne Art

I'd never heard of an artist named Bill Layne until just a few minutes ago. Check out
No Smoking in the Skullcave for a few examples of his excellent work.

Spooky Cats

Talisman Gato, the longhair tabby is our first cat, adopted as a stray from an alleyway, via SICSA.
Junior, the tabby at the other end was purchased as a kitten to be a companion to Tali who was home alone a lot.
Buddy, the tabby in the middle, was adopted by us from neighbors who moved and couldn't take him along.
We have since added a stray calico we call Heidi due to her tendency to remain concealed. Heidi was not available for this photograph.
