From the left - Leroy, Nutmeg, and Milkshake: half of the company from yesterday's historic six cat catwalk - I think that must be a record.
A good snappy day for a catwalk with in the Washington Grove woods with Club members Natasha, Leroy, and Nutmeg; activities included tree climbing and deer-stalking.
Milkshake in her favorite spot, the wallow under the tree in her yard, as previously shown on October 10, but now with more leaves.
Nutmeg in the woods, with a neighbor in the background. Photograph by Leroy, who has his own camera, and shows his work under the nom d'art of Max Gray. He's got an excellent eye, though his composition's a bit wild, occasionally.
Anna is not what you would call a Visiting Member of the Club - more like a Corresponding Member; she lives over on First Avenue with Booper and CVB. She looks like she's glaring at the camera in this shot, but she's actually very nice.
Leroy enjoys an afternoon beer in the Circle. I always remind him to put the bottle in a paper bag - he always "forgets".
Oh, just one more Bittersweet Cottage Porch Cam shot of Natasha. This one, from last March, shows Natasha in a rare wistful mood.

Socks, also known as Cat Van Beek or CVB, is another of our Visiting Members - he lives on First Avenue with Booper. In his former career, he was a barn cat at a riding stable, so his manners with other cats can be a bit unpolished at times. Something not to miss - CVB chasing his tail - most amusing.
Not a member of the Club, but an actual working cat - a resident dairy farm barn cat, somewhere in Wisconsin, submitted by Ed Janus.

This is The Circle, where Circle Club members hang out. Washington Grove was founded by the Methodists of the city of Washington as a summer campground in 1873. A tent tabernacle was erected each summer in The Circle, originally known as the Sacred Circle. Campers set up smaller tents around the tabernacle, and, eventually, cottages. Two of the original cottages are shown above - Bittersweet Cottage, on the left, is home to Peake and Nutmeg. Next to it is 13, The Circle, where Leroy and Natasha live. To the right is a newer house, 9 Circle - Buddha and Milkshake are resident there.
This is the other side of The Circle, as seen from the porch of 13 in autumn. Fall is a splendid time for Club Members - one can chase falling leaves, and the crisp temperatures are perfect for scampering.
