Mauser apparently has a foot fetish! No toe is safe from our little spotted marauder.

Mauser the day we brought him home from the breeder exploring his room.

Duzie and Mauser love their cat tree.

A shot of the boy the day we got him - 7/14/02.

Mauser's first "baby picture".

Resting on the tree.

Back off! Duzie was very protective of her little brother from the start.

This is about the only position Mauser allows himself to be held in without squirming.

My "leopard trainee" at 3 months.

What's it take to get some #$@!&*$! service around here?! The two bengals love to be involved in any activity in the kitchen. Here, they each sat on a barstool for the better part of a half-hour watching Pam prepare dinner.

Two of my favorite lap warmers.

Our office chair is a favorite rest area.

The morning paper with the spotted princess.

This shot was not posed.

Our girl lounging in the sun.

This is Pam's favorite cat picture.

Duzie in our backyard.

Mauser exploring the yard.

We have 5 orange trees in our fenced yard. It's a good thing they have all been topped and trimmed, because these guys are excellent climbers.

Mauser surveys his minature jungle realm.

Duzie likes to play in the tree tops too.

Mauser at 5 1/2 months. His spotted pattern is becoming spectacular.

Duzie playing on our deck.

This is my favorite cat picture . . . so far!

Cammo kitty ;)

The girl blends in pretty well with her surroundings also.

Preparing to launch.

Mauser is 9 mos. old in this shot. He can sometimes fall asleep in this position. The toy mouse in front of him is his favorite toy. He'll sometimes bring it to one of us if we're sitting in a chair, drop it in our lap, and wait for us to throw it so he can play fetch. This is something he does all on his own - we didn't teach him.

Here's the little guy at 10 mos. watching hummingbirds.

Actually, he's not so little anymore. He currently weighs 12 lbs. and will probably put on a few more before he's done.

Duzie at Christmas '02. She loves to sit by the window.

Same shot without the flash.

Yodi. The dowager empress of our cat family.

Quiet moments are hard to come by with the little guys always wanting to play.

Our other "big sister" Cleo.
