Two years ago, Eileen moved back to Madison and has been living with us while she goes back to school.  She brought her two cats, Duvy and Monster, with her.  Our old cat Mittens was very clear that she would not be sharing her house with any interlopers.  So Eileen's cats have lived with her in the lower level of the house.  This has worked out very well.  Now that Mittens is gone, we are attempting the grand experiment of opening the door to the lower level and letting the boys come upstairs.  It will be an interesting weekend. 

I can't believe I got both of them to stand still long enough to be in focus.  Of course, they were waiting for treats.  Duvy is the big panda bear of a cat, and Monster is the odd eyed Turkish angora who we believe to be part space alien....  Mary
