Here is our monthly installment of Outtakes for July. We had a good share of misfires, late shots and other photo related mishaps. We collected a few of the more ‘interesting’ photos together for all to see.

Spooky didn’t make it in any of the outtakes this time as he was cooperative with us, but Jasmine did since she really didn’t stay still for too long.

Take a look and enjoy our monthly collection of ‘happy accidents’.

Yeaaah

In true Band of Cats fashion the Mortensen cats have created their own tribute to the Beatles.

A cat-tribute to the Beatles - Let it Purr

Had the Beatles been Cats the ‘Let It Be‘ album cover would have looked like this with Red as John Lennon, Gilbert as Paul McCartney, Blanche as Ringo Starr and Daisy as George Harrison.
Plus there would be a slight change in the album title.

My husband and I have 7 cats now. Shown here below is Van Gogh. He has one eye and is six years old. He is very full of mischief. We got him when he was about one year old. He required an operation to have his eye socket cleaned up and permanently closed. It was remnants of a damaged eye, which didn’t seem to bother him at all, but it looked terrible.

No one could tell us what made it that way. Van Gogh’s previous owner could not afford his surgery, so I gently convinced him to give Van Gogh to me as was able to afford to help Van Gogh.

One must have a little money to keep these cats. They require annual medicals with vaccinations, emergencies, money for the best food, care, and toys. Lets not forget their toys for entertainment!

Van Gogh is and always was…a NUT! Having him around is like having a raccoon or a ferret. He gets into everything. He is very curious and mischievous. My younger cats liked him right away.

This handsome cat, Smokey, was brought to us today (July 31, 2008) by a friend who could not longer take care of him. We have taken in several cats and kittens from our friend, and they have been a blessing!

Our latest addition, Smokey

They have made this house a joy to live in! Smokey is still very scared of us and it is taking some time to get him to come around, but he’ll get there. Our friend says that he loves to cuddle! He will jump in your lap and wrap his arms around you and pull you closer to him. He is such a sweet boy and fun to watch while he explores his new surroundings. He’s going to be a lot of fun to grow older with.

Bodie & Rascal are the newest kittens in our family. In fact, these kittens just arrived here today (July 28, 2008). A friend of ours found them in a ditch near her house and she wasn’t going to be able to take care of them.

Our new little kitten, Rascal

As best we can guess, they are around three weeks old. We named the little orange boy Rascal and the little brown, black and white boy Bodie. They are fussy little kittens! They love to cuddle with our other kittens Felix and Fiona (two other orphans that were born at our home) and they love getting kisses from myself and my mom.

Our new little kitten, Bodie

We love taking in orphan kittens because it really gives us the chance to bond with them and the feeling of raising them and seeing them learn, play and develop. It’s just amazing! I can’t wait to grow up with these guys!!
