Annie Oakley strikes a pose.
Fritter keeps his eye on the feather teaser.
“What doin’, weird lady?” wonders Eclair.
At some point after I took this picture, Pretzel’s collar came off. Annie Oakley carried it around growling like she’d caught something good, and now I don’t know where it is. (But luckily she and Fritter are easy to tell apart.)
Annie Oakley and Fritter consider a tussle. Please note Uncle Charlie back there in the basket, sound asleep.
Eclair thinks Uncle Charlie makes a comfy bed.
A bird hit the window (it was fine and immediately flew away) and Pretzel, Annie Oakley and Fritter weren’t sure what to think.
Annie’s serious little “What’s going on over THERE?!” face kills me.
It kinda cracks me up that so many of you have decided that Charlie loves the kittens. Charlie loves the kitten food, and Charlie loves the kitten room, but the kittens themselves he merely tolerates and mostly ignores. If one of them gets too much up in his face he’ll play a quick game of Slappy Paws, but that’s about it.
I have no idea what his feelings will be about future litters, but we’ll find out when the time comes.

Archie looooves that Santa bed, and Charlie is patiently waiting his turn.
(I went to see if I could figure out where I got that bed because I know someone’s gonna ask. The tag says it’s from the “Merry & Bright collection”, and Google tells me it likely came from Petsmart. But I got it last year, and it doesn’t seem to be available currently.)

Yay!!!! It is officially the Christmas season at my house!!! I received my card from Shady Cove (aka Love & Hisses) and it has taken its esteemed position on my refrigerator – right next to L&H cards from past years!!! I also received an early Christmas present to me, from me of a 2021 L&H Calendar in the mail yesterday!!!! Whoooo hooooooo!!!!!! Christmas, bring it on!!! Thank you, Robyn, for all you do and for all the cats and kittens whose life you’ve forever changed for the positive! PS: I have a crush on Charlie.. it may be his cool indifference – which was kind of the vibe I always picked up from Stefan… cool, laid back, handsome… ‘Dude’… I may be wrong. Happy Friday Eve!
Are you referring to Stefan of the German litter, or a another Stefan? I have what used to be Stefan of the German litter, b.12/20/2018, adopted July 2019 with sister Theresa now CaTrina and Jedi was Stefan. They had a sister Julianne and Otto both gorgeous brown tabbys, and there was another gray brother that passed away before adopted. Jedi is such a mama’s boy.
Just thought I’d ask ♥️
Awww… I was referring to Stefan who appeared back at Crooked Acres and became a permanent resident. His story / tribute is here: https://www.love-and-hisses.com/the-anderson-kitties-permanent-residents/stefan/ Struck me as a laid back ‘surfer dude’ type…
I just love Archie.
LOL! Archie and Charlie have matching expressions. What that MEANS, I don’t know.
I counted the kittens & mamas adopted this year, from the side panel. Thirty-five! not yet including Annie Oakley and Eclair, nor Fritter and Pretzel, who will go soon. That will be a total of THIRTY-NINE kittens (and mamas) for 2020!! Wow!
