meet my mom’s animals

yes, animals. thats what she calls them. this even includes spiders, although, thankfully, i didn’t find any 8-legged “animals” in her house this time…

this is matewis (sometimes also known as matthew). apparently he’s my brother (!?!). jolly bugger, isn’t he?

this is jackalas. also known as tuscany. i don’t know how she’s managing to look so regal in this photo…

this is the other one of matewis’ two facial expressions. odd cat.

this is a cool one. attack cat (also known as tinker bell) is on top there, and lurking below in the shadows is jet jungle. jet jungle is only known as jet jungle.

attack cat looking pretty.

stretch!

see? only two expressions.

aah… this photo gives you a glimpse of the lunatic that she is…

i like this one. it took me forever to get a photo of monster. every time i got settled to take a photo he saw me and came bounding over to me! now, firstly, cats don’t bound. and secondly, if they did, just happen to do something that looked somewhat like bounding (to the untrained human eye), they certainly wouldn’t bound toward a human… … dogs do that.

jet jungle – not hiding this time. you see, they all took turns posing for me on this little brick-paved spot. it was like i was a real-life beret-wearing photographer!!

“hello jet!”

this is nina. don’t get the impression by the lack of dog-focus in this blog that we’re not dog people. as i said, my mom likes “animals”. but these two dogs aren’t really ours as such. they were adopted from useless people who couldn’t take care of them properly. so we love them, but they’re not quite the kinds of dogs we’d want.

i conclude this post with a tryptich of poses marcel marceau would’ve been proud of…

or is it one of those blokes on the high street pretending to be a statue?
