Tommy is our affectionate attack cat. He loves plastic bags, though he doesn't always sleep on it. He's an odd fella but we love him.

Penny is the new addition to the household. We took her in last Thanksgiving. She's the sweetest thing, but she can be prissy, too. And yes, she sleeps like that sometimes.

    Awesome pics! 🙂 You have a lot of pets. Clyde (our basset hound) is currently lying in the middle of our kitchen floor falling asleep. 😉

      Thanks, Erik! Yes, we do! That’s funny, your pet Clyde. My boyfriend’s parents had a basset hound that was also named Clyde. “Clyde” is the perfect name for a basset hound. I can totally see how the name and face go together. You should post a picture of Clyde one day. =)

      Our cat, Tommy, is an affectionate attack cat! I do love when he curls into a ball when he sleeps. I saw Emily’s picture! She is adorable! I wasn’t a cat person… until I met Tommy. =)
