My two black cats.  Hannah has claimed the top of the couch as her spot but Joey got there first, so she had to lie on the couch below him.  Usually Joey doesn't even bother to come in the living room at all.  Joey is actually a silver tip cat.  He looks black but only the top layer is black, every thing underneath this layer is silver.  Hannah is totally black.  I adopted Joey at 5 mo., he is now 10.  He was as scared as could be and still  acts frightened of almost everything.  All the love we have given him, has not made him unafraid, except he does love us and does allow us to pet him and he will purr, but he is on guard, ready to run at the slightest move you make.  His first 5 mo. of life must of been a very traumatic time.  Hannah came to me at 4 wks of age and she too is 10 years old now.  She was bottled fed and weaned and thinks that I am a mother cat.  They both make great photo subjects and with my new camera, I get better pictures.

Joey hates his picture to be taken.  He looks very annoyed here.
