Love the ladybug. I’ve been obsessed with photographing flowers lately. And the bugs (dragonflies, grasshoppers, bees, etc) that seem to surround them.
The book "Tales from the House of Chaos" has been published with ISBN 978-1-4092-0781-8 as its number. Available immediately at Lulu.com, available soon at other outlets like Amazon.com.
Just to remind you, we have 7 main players in this game (besides some extras):
Loup-Garou Mafkat
("wherewolf" crazy/sleepy cat) - black with a little bit of white, très couch-potato
Freya Gastropode
("Norse Goddess of love, beauty and fertility/Stomach on Legs") - female grey tabby gastropod, mommy of Isegrim, tries to convince us that she is eternally starving and needs to be fed NOW
Bean Sidhe WOAH-He’s-Big-!
(a.k.a. Banshee "wailing ghost" = mythical Irish ghost/typical outcry of any visitor) - white and orange tabby part Maine Coon, trying to grow larger than the kitchen counter is high
Hrimnir de WC-plonzer, Protteke
("Shrouded with Frost" = mythical Norse giant/the toilet-plunger/little fart) - white, grey and cream tabby part Norwegian Forestcat, slowly turning into a very solid bloke indeed
Isegrim Dondersteen
("Grey Helmet/very busy critter") - grey with faint tabby markings, son of Freya
Frankette ‘t Poppemieke, Prottemie, Mieperke
(female "the frank one"/the little girl-doll/fart-girl/little meeper) - female white and black, one of the Frankensiblings who roam the Neighbourhood of Chaos but the only one who currently lives with us
Caramel El Krijs
("cute as candy" but emits sounds like nails on a schoolboard) - orange and white tabby - he's never home these days and prefers to reside at the local hospital/elderly home nearby where there ain't no Zorro trying to murder him
Also starring:
Grumpy Man, The Mistress, Bouncing Psycho, The Strong Woman of Flanders, The Lord of Toys, The Cleaning Scourge, The Man in White, and the occasional hapless visitor.

Nature: a lovely ladybug who showed up in the Garden of Chaos and did some very useful work there.
Cats: Bean Sidhe silencing Hrimnir. LOL It’s just that they are both so fluffy and cute…
Photoshop: Zorro philosophising. Sort of. We often would find him taking a comfortable nap on gravity-defying spots.

Great shots! I like the cat fight the best. It appears they aren’t using their claws; just having a mid-day rumble.
Happy WW!
