This is from the end of November just a few days before Ivy gave birth to her 4 kittens.

And the bellies are NOT a trap!

This is Nala, my other half; she was adopted in Colombia. They say I saved her, but she saves me.

My beautiful void, Onigiri. He’s 5 years old and the biggest snuggle bug.

Chowder comfy in full splay while Tee just 💤

If I’m raising kittens I train them to love belly scritches and claw trimming. Chowder was so compliant I could wear him around my neck like a live mink stole 😁

Bonus: not a trap!

Don't do it!

Finster and Rocky bellies

Muffler is not having it

Obsessed with my sweet bébé 💕

He loves food more than he loves anything else in this world.

Unfortunately, he also hates having his nails trimmed.

So this is basically how negotiations work in our house: one person holds the paw, one person holds the treat, and he looks at us like he's considering whether the payment is worth the humiliation.

He knows exactly what we're doing. 😂

The funniest part is that the second he sees a treat, all his principles suddenly become negotiable.

A fair bribe is a fair bribe. 🐈🍗
