Well, this deserves a better caption but I couldn’t think of one.  If you can, please leave it in the comments.

Ed is Tug’s older brother.  Here is Ed’s story as told by his human:

Ed was born in Occoquan, Virginia.  My friend “Ed” lives right on the river and in 1993 a feral pregnant cat appeared at his back door and gave birth to 5 kittens.  We went down and picked out our Ed and also found homes for the other 4 kittens.  They were all indoor/outdoor cats while living there.  After they got a little older the human Ed would catch a fish every now and then and present it to the mother cat and her kittens.  What a delicacy.  Ed has been in our home since June of 1993 and he has absolutely no desire to ever leave his house for the outdoors.

Special thanks to Tug and Ed for letting us into their world!

I photographed Tug and his brother Ed several years ago and I was thrilled to get the chance to photograph them again more recently.  We’re going to include both sessions to create a beautiful coffee table book.    Here are some of the new images of Tug, who was adopted from the Animal Welfare League of Arlington – his owner is a long-time volunteer there.

He’s as handsome as ever, and still very playful!

I call this one – “Little, big cat”.  I loved the huge shadow.

Stay tuned for his gorgeous brother, Ed.
