Same flowers with a filter I just discovered.
Cool eh?

Kobi's Progress


Last May, following the death of his owner, who was our neighbour across the street, little Kobi was left an orphan.

Before he passed, we were asked, no,
instructed to take care of his beloved Kobi, no matter what.
But, we already had 6 cats!
Here is the little guy still at the old house, his home - his garden.
In the next few months, he would see many changes...lots of people, noises, some familiar, some not....coming and going.....

His master's furniture being moved out....here is the
old couch on the side of the road, and Kobi makes the most of it before it leaves for good.  

Waiting at the back door.... 


Waiting up on the porch railing, spotted there one evening... 

...with only the lonely sounds of the mobile to keep him company...

And finally it is done, it is final, the house, his house, goes up for sale. There is nothing left for him there, and the clock is ticking...time to check out the other side of the road...
In our back yard, getting to know the various lounging areas....

He spots Zena...oh boy...Zena will not be amused!

And at last, on the back porch, looking into the kitchen.... 
He realizes, this is home now.

Not bad at all.
A funny new resting area appears in December...

The Christmas tree was a total loss this year,
they were all in cahoots to bring it down,
ornament by ornament.

Ah, lounging by the fireplace,
Kobi and Ginja we can almost feel those "virtual" flames.
(TV fireplace channel!)
Spring is coming.
This bright-eyed feline is enjoying
the sun and the amaryllis blooms.



Prime real estate,
as all the furry residents know.
Ah, that afternoon sun!
Kobi has caught on fast!



Our Kobi.
