the critters...!

Our feline menagerie has grown to 10 street cats and our 1 dog, botas. Here is our black kitten, Negro (which is Spanish for black, and is pronounced Naygro) with one of the new arrivals - a tabby and white cat, of whom there are 2 who have to be litter mates, as they are identical.





On the way to lunch yesterday, this beautiful friggate bird was cruising overhead - they are such amazing fliers.











The wee kitten Latte has a new name - Chi'iki - (pronounced Cheekee) courtesy of Lee, who said he reminds her of the coatamundis, or in Spanish Tejone. The Mayan word for tejone is chi'ik, and with his long tail and stripes, he does indeed look more like a coati than a cup of coffee.... : P





Here is another quick shot of one of the tabby sister...or brothers.....???? They are terribly skittish, so as soon as this one heard the camera turn on, she was already turning to bolt.
