Halloween

It is that time of the year again! The time for black cats to come out at night. Witches (Felix), ghouls (Simone) and imps (Lulu) roaming the Black Radishes club house. This is the time of year we celebrate all the animals birthdays.

Max is turning 7. Felix is 6, Simone 5 and Lulu is just a wee 4. Do you remember when we would post pictures of Lulu when she could barely fill half of the clam? She has grown bigger (although not her head really) and is much more mature. Well, maybe not mature but she has developed a big, endearing personality. Lulu has the best chirp and trill of the whole group. She will always be the little ghost, the one we love the most!

When we first got Simone she was sick and spent a lot of time cuddling with us. That lasted about 48 hours and she has been the lone wolf ever since. Her eating nuances give her a charming if not sometimes gross quality to her. She has the cutest voice and a very coy way of begging for pets but then stepping just a hair away from your reach so you can't quite give them to her. Closet pets are her favorite!

Felix, the oldest and voted most mental for five years in a row (we got him when he was 1 year old). He is definitely the cat most attached to their owner, sometimes in an almost stalkerish way. He has the strongest voice with an almost shrill intonation to it, especially in the morning just about two hours before your alarm goes off. He is also the most indulgent of the cats and enjoys to an almost extreme level evening hour pets on the bed.

That is our Halloween crew - witches, ghouls and imps! Happy Birthday guys! A round of jack mackerel for everyone!
