The Thugs: personalities coming out

These pics range from when they were about a year old to two years old.  Their personalities were really coming out at this point.  Silk is adventurous and can be very insistent, to the point of being obstinate, when it comes to something he wants.  He's not shy and he likes to greet visitors.  

Velvet is much more passive and chill, and she typically runs and hides when visitors show up.  She'll eventually come out if the visitor sticks around for a while, and once she gets used to someone (after half a dozen regular visits or so), she won't run and hide when they show up.

The airplane ears crack me up.

Velvet looks like she's listening to a story that she doesn't quite believe.


"Oh piece of string, nobody gets me like you do."

I think that maybe I interrupted something.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think that maybe Silk is giving me the finger.

There was a long stretch where they were fascinated with the dish washing process and would sit and watch me.

Velvet didn't quite know what to make of whatever it was that I was doing.

Soft, fluffy belleh.

Nothing like having a cat to cuddle with and keep you company when you're sick.

Awww...
