Alexandria pets issue

Photo detail

Tony and Amelia are relaxing in the sunshine at my front door. I adopted both cats from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria when they were kittens (Amelia at 9 weeks and Tony at 9 months). Tony (orange tabby) turned 17 on Nov. 10 and Amelia (grey domestic shorthair) will celebrate her 18th birthday on March 15. They've lived most of their lives in Alexandria but had a brief, six-month stay with me in a corporate apartment in Palo Alto, Calif. Upon returning home to Alexandria, Tony jumped on the kitchen counter, surveyed the house and let out a huge sigh. Amelia went directly upstairs into her favorite rocking chair, curled up and went to sleep. They haven't left home since. — Phyllis Andes
