The Woodins were a fixture on our coffee table in Madison, and inevitably perplexed yet enthralled visitors.

"What are those?" they'd say dubiously. "Are they toys? Or what?" Five minutes later, they'd be playing with them nonstop. The Woodins have a knack for making friends.

They even look at home with the cats.
