George and Gilbert curled together, March 2017

Both cats curled into one another on the white bed, ginger and tabby, formal arrangement. The brothers, getting on with the day.

George full-stretch on the Persian rug, ginger and white against patterned reds. The rug was an investment; the cat is the dividend.

Both cats playing on the red patterned rug by the fireplace, ginger and tabby in motion. The rug provides traction; the fireplace provides ambience.

George at point-blank range, green eyes, ginger and white. The title is a pun and the cat has clearly heard it before.

Both cats curled in a cardboard box, the box being the actual gift. Amazon delivers; cats annex. Standard.

George installed in a cardboard box of wine bottles, ginger and white, looking entirely lawful about it. Wine deliveries suspended pending review.

A party trick, performed once for the camera. Photographic evidence has not survived; reputation has.

One of them, relaxing. Specifics lost to time; vibes not.

George flat out on his back on white sheets, paws relaxed, ginger and white. The classic moggy yoga position. Fully off duty.

Both cats among the flowerpots in the greenhouse, ginger and tabby, claiming the warm spots before the seedlings could.
