Here are 2 of my kitties. These are recent photos - within the last 3 weeks.
Ruffles is about 15. I bought a 3 tiered cat tree for up at Dad's house. They had a few scratchers, but nothing tall. And at least 2 like to stretch up and scratch, and all cats like to be up high. I chose this one because of the tiers, hoping that Ruffles may get into the first level (at 15, she likes ramps and stairs but not jumps). After 5 weeks, this was the first time she went in the lower level herself, and she stayed and slept a while.

Cuddles is about 3yrs, 4 months. She has lived with us 1 years 4 months. She is the one I got from the shelter who was abused and doesn't trust humans. Lived at the shelter for 18 months and, at 2 years old was about to be PTS. She makes progress, at her own pace. It is agonizingly slow!
I took this photo while she was asleep on my bed. Needless to say, she did NOT appreciate being woken from an all important cat nap!

This photo was taken another time. Sparkle had to move and jump off the bed and get her back in the picture.

After Sparkle left, Cuddles was ready to pose again.

I've been told Cuddles is a "dilute tortoiseshell." I don't know what that means. Is it the white that makes her coloring "dilute?" Or is it because she is gray not black? Anyone who knows, just pipe up with an answer! Thanks. Sandra
