Norse, your kitties are beautiful! What an unusual tail on Athena-she does look a little like my George. I'll have to upload some better pictures.

Last evening, as I was preparing dinner, I heard the most horrible cat noises coming from outside. I went out onto the driveway and there is George, facing down Cutie Pie (big orange tabby from next door), both yowling as loud as possible, but both unwilling to turn tail and run. It may not have been the smartest thing to do, but I intervened anyway. Sent Cutie Pie packing. Cutie Pie outweighs George by a few hefty pounds, so I'm sure eventually George would have gotten the worse end of the deal. Both neutered males too! I guess those territorial instincts are too strong.
