This is a shrine devoted to our two beautiful kittens, Luke and Mara. We love them dearly.
And here's a link to pictures of their little sister, Kaya.

- Our kittens demonstrate their tag-team hunting style, where they exchange inaudible cues and take turns ambushing their prey. They rarely get in one another's way.
- OOC Monster in Bag
- Luke blisses out on a beanbag. Unfortunately, he also used that beanbag for a litter box and we had to throw it out on account of the smell. Pity.

- Luke tucked into a blanket with a Rissa-pillow and a stuffed animal.
