Critters, Part 3

Blue is the new indoor cat that's some Siamese blend and has the cutest blue eyes, hence the name.
But there's nothing cute about him. He's pure terror.
He's torn down curtains, pictures and quilts off the walls and regularly breaks into trash can like he's a raccoon.

The outdoor cats can hardly stand him either, and they regularly chase him up on the roof of the house, meaning Pop and I have to climb up and get him down.
Of course, the outdoor cats are all family, so maybe that has something to do with it.
There's the Mom and Pop, who are brother/sister, as noted in a previous blog (see Cat Math). Their names are Blackie and Pinkie, but I shortened their name to Blax and Pinks when Posh and Becks moved to the U.S.
Their babies are Lullz (a Yellow cat), OC (stands for Other Cat, cuz I was uninspired,) and Lady Bird, who I had named Lady because she was tiny and polite, but then Lady Bird Johnson died, and I thought the name just fit. My dad's not too hot about having a Democrat Cat out on the farm, though.

(It wasn't until I started writing this blog that I realized that most of the animals are named colors. It wasn't on purpose but just casually evolved, I guess. We've got Cherry, Red, Blue, Lullz (short for Yellow), and Pinks, so far.)
I tried to get pictures of all the outdoor cats, but they are pretty wild. I succeeded only with Lady Bird and Blax, who I might just rename Bonanza cuz the name seems to fit the cat and the farm, as evidence by this pix.
