Linc… named for Abraham Lincoln : 

Linc… named for Abraham Lincoln Tall and lanky worked for the name. Um, the empty stare that reveals the REAL Linc didn’t work for that name.

Linc Sleeping : 

Linc Sleeping Yes, He is that cute and loving. But, boy He is not bright. Which is unusual for his breed, the Bengal, noted for their intelligence. This cat has been stuck in more weird places than any animal I have ever met including almost hanging himself by catching his foot in a safety cord for a window blind.

Roxanne… named after Sting's song. : 

Roxanne… named after Sting's song. I watched someone drive away from a parking lot to be informed by a woman that she had just seen a man throw a young cat out of his car into the bushes. He left her near KFC in the cold.

My devoted Roxanne…. : 

My devoted Roxanne…. It took me about a week to catch her. Gaining her trust. Feeding her cans of food. She was terrified. Eventually we caught her in a cat trap. She lived in our bath closet for a long time. Now she never leaves us alone. She is an exceptionally loving cat who sits with each person in my house when they are sick and is always there to cheer you up.

Sasha… almost went to death row. : 

Sasha… almost went to death row. From feral to half-cat/half-feather-duster living at our house. Who says there are no second chances in life?

My Muses… Seven (Plus One) : 

Originally when I began photographing my cats there were just the seven. Then Sasha came into our life. She is number 8. Lucky number 8. Named for Alex Ovechkin. Afterall, she arrived during hockey playoff season and he looked like a possibility for Washington DC for the Stanley Cup MVP and is #8. (I know that Alex Semin is called Sasha, but that is besides the point….) I hope you have enjoyed getting to know the Muses better with this short presentation. We love them very much.
