"Minudie", "Chin", and "Tibbie"
Tibbie (right) is the mother of Chin (center), and Minudie (left). I adopted Tibbie years ago knowing she was pregnant. Ultrasound confirmed that she was carrying four babies, and several weeks later she gave birth to four healthy kittens in a special box prepared in my bedroom. My sister took two, and I kept the mother and the remaining two kittens. Minudie was euthanized several years ago after suffering a paralysis of her hind legs due to a blood clot.
Here all three are watching several turkeys in our front yard. I went outside with some bird seed and tried to coax them into a position in front of the window so they'd be visible in the photo. They liked the seed but were put off by three cats staring through the glass at them, and wouldn't stay put. The cats were looking in three different directions when one turkey flew up onto the front porch railing, catching their attention. After one quick photo of "synchronized" turkey watching, they were once more "out of synch", looking every which-way.
