Hello all - Sorry I haven't been on here a lot lately. It has been a very busy last 6 months. We closed on our home on April 29, recarpeted and prepped it a bit, moved in the first weekend in May, and have been working and very busy ever since. I went from my temporary IT job from April to Sept 2005 to a couple of different permanent IT job offers (why does everything happen all at once after months of not too much going on with the job situation?) that I had to decide between. I ended up going with a position with the Missouri Dept of Mental Health - I am one of the two computer information technologists at one of their facilities. I started 9-16-05 and have been enjoying my job and the people I work with so far. :) My husband, my 4 kitties and I have been really enjoying our first few months as homeowners. The kitties love our house. We've enjoyed decorating it for our first Christmas in it. Anyway, I finally got around to scanning in lots of pictures of the cats and many other pics, so I am going to start posting a few of those pics here. I hope you all are doing well, and I hope you enjoy! Pics to follow in the coming posts...

Here are a few pics of Bailey from this spring to the present...he turned 3 on 9-17-05, and celebrated his 3rd anniversary with us on 10-25-05 - hard to believe it's already been 3 years! Enjoy! :)

Bailey in 'his' bed - he actually burroughed under that throw and out the other end - we found him this way, like we had tucked him in, but we had just gotten home!

Here are some pictues of Leila...she celebrated her 3rd birthday on 11-25-05, and her 2nd anniversary with us on 5-1-05. It's definitely hard to believe she's already 3!
Leila enjoying the pedastal sink's large bowl in 1/2 bathroom one week after moving in:

The previous owners of our house left the pool table. Not only do we enjoy it, so does Leila:

Here's our sweet orange boy Leo's latest pictures. He celebrated 1 year with us on 4-8-05, and he turned 3 on 7-10-05. He's just so sweet!
Leo decided to get all brave when we were first unpacking and setting everything up - he got all the way on top of the entertainment center downstairs, which is probably 7-8 ft tall!

Leo decided to play pool like Leila does, so he now plays pool in addition to poker...he's quite the gambler:

Claudia celebrated her 1st anniversary with us and her second birthday on 6-25-05. It has been absolutely delightful having her in our family, and time sure has flown with her as well as the others!

When they made the phrase the Life Of Riley meaning a Wonderful Life,they must have had Your Cats in mind.
Seldom have I seen Happier Cats,and that makes me more resolved now,to enclose the Porches,if your Cats love the 3 Season Rooms that much!!
You are True Cat Guardians!!!
