Happy vernal equinox! Sure, I’m a couple of days late, but that’s cat time for you. They live on their own clock.

Today, I’m giving Domino a break from the rigors of weekly catblogging and highlighting my mother’s cats instead. On the left is Ditto (named, as you might recall, because when he was a kitten he looked just like one of my mother’s other cats). On the right is his brother Tillamook, whose naming origin should be fairly obvious. These pictures were taken last weekend, but obviously both of them were looking forward to spring even then.
