A friend and I trapped one of the feral kittens from the cat colony in the Old Town Harbour in Puerto del Carmen yesterday, took it to the vet to be neutered, and returned it to its familiar surroundings today.
Here it is reunited with its mum and litter mates (licking the vet stench off its fur!).

To my sweet boys, Lugosi & Spider: I still love you as much, if not more, as on the first day we met back in March 2000. And your purrs and the affection you show me tells me that the feeling is mutual. Happy 11th Anniversary, my darlings! (Photos courtesy of News Dog Media)

My body transformed into a state of joy during that time. I almost felt like I could fly and even went swimming…
This is rather cool. Two separate photos come together in a strange & interesting meld on my mobile phone. Top is Lugosi´s back (and Ruby) fused with Spider´s tail below it. Check it out, closer up… And these are the two original photos… Lugosi and Ruby. … and Spider´s tailio
