This is Because, and this is Why - he is the Google!

PeopleCats of TopTropicals. Cat of the day: Midnight - Prince from Bombay

No animals were harmed during the photo-session.

...Prince Midnight was adopted at 6 weeks from a large family of Bombay cats from a nearby neighbor. At the time we didn't realized they were Bombays, just that the entire group were pure black with gold eyes. It was later that we realized he had all the traits of a Bombay including not a speck of white, the gold eyes and the facial characteristics, and even an obscure trait known to them: a tendency toward stuffy nose, which has always come and gone, sounding like a mild snore, even when awake.

People of TopTropicals. Pets of the day: Luna, Queen of Night and Lil Frank the Possum

We had a friend over for dinner, lovely Mrs Mom Luna the Raccoon. She had a bunch of her baby raccoons! This is the second Raccoon of TopTropicals (see our previous visitor - Raccoon Charity).
Then we discovered a little opossum that had a night time swim... We helped him out in the morning using a pool net. Little Frank, apparently, is our Possum Pete's grandson.
All PeoplePets were fed with cat food and received a big portion of Love!

Luna is learning how to eat out of hand... and Lil Frank just got out of the pool.
