My daughter, who is in Japan - told me about this site and it has now become favorite I look at every day. I have always had a cat (or two or four:-) Our latest two grew to old age and the last died this past spring from kidney failure. Within a day, we ran out and adopted a sister and brother from a rescue society. They are Eliot & Emily (named for the poets :-) as I am a literature major and like the dignified names. Well, the last three cats were Ernie, Bert and Oscar - but we had small children at the time so what can I say? The rescue group fostered out the kittens, but Eliot was despondant without his sister so they could only be adopted as a unit. Since my last child (my daughter) was about to leave us with an empty nest - we gladly took both babies home. They are now 8 months old and a daily delight. I have to tell one story about Emily. She is sweet, pretty and very feminine - but she has a mean and selfish streak!! Everytime I open a milk or juice jug - I toss out the rings which both kitties love. BUT, Emily takes the first opportunity to grab the ring and RUN. I have tossed out dozens and dozens and still have no idea where she hides them - have NEVER found one. We will see her playing with a ring now and then, but off she goes to hide it again! Poor Eliot only gets a ring when we confine Emily to another room.
Both kitties like to sleep on MY bed pillow. They have me well trained as I carefully use a tiny corner myself so as not to disturb them! ha! As you can tell, I adore my babies and cannot even imagine a home without a few kitties.

Eliot is the grey tiger and Emily is grey and white. I have also included my grandkitty from Japan. Altogether I have 6 grandkitties and 1 grand dog - they are Boomer, Ezzie, Patches, Oreo, Pickles, Marshmellow and dog is Cinnamon. Guess I need photos of all the grands, eh?

) Love your kitties and the story of the milk jug rings. My little Kim is the same way, very possesive of those rings!
