It would either have to be Neko or Tama. Tama is the baby and is my shadow. Neko was the first of the gang and just has this quiet serene personality.
I can't decide!!!
my friends always ask me the same question but truthfully,i like both my cats equally.
I'd have to say Diamond because she was a former feral that came to me in the summer of 2000 when I had had a beastly previous 9 months. She and I rescued each other, I think. Now she's a grade A, five star mush!:D
IT's so hard to say. On different days I have a different favorite. I love Tibby because she loves me so much, she always wants to see what I'm doing and be with me and she's so cute. But Corkscrew and I have been through so much and he's come around a lot since I first got him when he would bite every time I would touch him, now he sleeps under the covers with me. So I can't really decide. I think which ever one is cuddling with me at the time is my favorite.
Jen , you are right in a way. Joseph the Joker is the most fun of all my cats , a clown of a cat that is always up. But Princess is the cat that I have the most respect for as she was dumped by her people along with her two kittens and she kept them alive until they were rescued. For looks it is impossible to top Rocca , John or Diane , who were all shown as kittens. I love Sams and Shebas as well , both chocolate point Siamese. And Precious is a tortie point Siamese, very unique. Rough and Tumble is the newest , a 15 week old chocolate point with , for Saimese big ears.he is a terror. Moose and Michael are older , very sweet cats who are so well adjusted and mild. Rascal has calmed down a lot , he is a rescued stray from the street , and is very grateful for everything. He is still surprised when I give him cat treats , obviously he is not used to kindness or generosity.so all of the cats have thier strong points and purrrsonalities , it really is hard to pick a favorite , all are Gods creatures and equally loved.
Most of you can tell that Filou is my special little darling. One of the reasons for this may be that most of all other people love Tigris more. He's more social and purrs also for friends -Filou is only supercute with exactly 2 people, but then he's sooo precious.
But of course when Tigris is lying purring by my side -whom could I then love more than him?
I love all of my cats very deeply, and would be crushed if anything ever happened to any of them. I guess though I would have to admit that there are a couple who have my heart wrapped around their little paws VERY TIGHTLY!!!! Dexter, is such a big fluffy, and personable boy ... and most who see even a picture of him, immediately fall in love with him. Also, my little "Tucker Man" has to be the most cuddly, and loving and spoiled kitty that ever walked this planet!!! Those two are most likely to get a little extra special attention in my home....though all are loved and cared for dearly!
Grace, is extremely special to me as well .... she was the first adopted out of my bunch, as she has a very special place in my heart! Even if worse came to worse, and for some un foreseen reason I had to part with Dexter and Tucker .... Grace would be the "first to come, last to leave"!
Praying that I never have to make that sort of decision though with any of my babies!
Now Tucker Man....
Now Grace ... the QUEEN!
My mom tells me I love Tenny best, and while it would be easy to love him best, I love them all the same. There are some things I love about one more than the other..like, I really don't LOVE Tex vomiting on my bed just after I wash the duvet cover, OR Allie knocking everything off the table, mantel, etc., OR the way Dakky refuses to budge on the landing when I am trying to carry something, OR, the way Georgia runs from me like I beat her (which I do not), OR the way Minnie hides from me. Tenny really doesn't have any 'faults', unless his being loving 100% of the time is a fault.
I love cats I don't even know yet!
I honestly don't have a favorite. They each bring something special into my life that I couldn't live without. What they all bring though is undying love and gratitude... and I give them that love and gratitude right back because I'd be lost without them!
Shhhh!!! Don't tell the boys I have a favorite. I'm nuts about all of them but Leonardo is just a whisker ahead of the others. I think it's because I bottle fed him and raised him from about 9 or 10 days old. I'm the only mommy he's ever known. The others were all several months old when I got them. Let's keep this between us, ok? :D
My Chewy. He is such a Momma's boy and the way he is lost without me around is sooo adorable. Hee hee. Out of the cats I would say My Misty moo. Cause she's mine :D
Ash
I love all mine equally and in different ways. But if I turn my internal lie detector on :), it tells me that I do love Mini just that little bit more. We went through so much in our first months of having him, and we were going to lose him, so there is an extra special place in my heart for him. Look out if anybody beats him to the foodbowl or takes his spot on the bed!
remember asking your mom that question.....you were sure she loved someone more than you.....from your perspective at a very young age, i could see how you might think that as you looked at her "cooing" about something that somebody else did and you felt an "aha" moment ....you finally "caught" mom "loving" someone "more" than you......hmmmmm i, at least, dont feel that way....i love all my children, would give my life for any one of them...but that doesnt mean you dont appreciate and love (and at times not especially love some of those differences) the differences in your children and perhaps "schmooze" over that difference now and then......but no.....i love all my children and as the mom of 3 boy cats i feel the same way about them....i love them all as much as one can love.....but i do realize the differences in them and like to "schmooze" over them once in awhile too.......i like cataholics comment...."i love cats i havent even met yet" ......i agree with that, whether we talk of our pets or our children.....;)
I got Snowy and Mr. Jones about 18 months ago. Snowy was a small kitten and Mr. Jones was about 1-1.5 years old. Up until recently I did have a love preference for Snowy. He's my baby boy. But, recently Mr. Jones' personality has been getting sweeter and sweeter. He's a big love bug. Now I am very protective of Mr. Jones because he keeps on getting picked on (by you know who) and he spent at least 4 months in that jail (shelter) :(
So, I want him to feel like he always has a special place. I could tell you who I love more, now. They are both my precious boys.:)
I am torn between our Maine Coon Jackson and our Beagle Sassee. :confused:
I don't have a favorite, I love all my kitties equally :)
I tend to only have one of everything, including husband, kid, and cat, but I must confess that I like my furkid better than my skinkid these days.....their teen years are BRUTAL on parents:( :rolleyes:
It has crossed my mind several times, If I had to choose one cat of all of my menagerie, which one would you take? It is not a matter of loving one more that the others, because I love all of them equally. However, I think I would choose Nikolai, because of his breed, a very loyal Russian Blue. But believe me, the choice would be difficult to make. Yet I think that 5 furkids would be enough. But now which of the 5 would I keep. It is an equally difficult question to anwer, even if the outcome would be times 5! I am glad that now I have 11 indoor and 4 outside neightborhood cats to care for. Although, they can become a bit overwhelming at times, especially when I want to eat pizza!:)

I love all my pets just the same . They are all my "kids" , and I could'nt miss them !! That's why I miss Sydney so very much ... I wanna cuddle him too , but he is at the RB:( :(
If there is a difference to be made , then it is towards their behaviour . Inka is a truly lap-cat ... ! I just LOVE it to have a cat on my lap or anywhere else on me (lol) , so in that way , I must say I love that part of her character ! As about Billie , there is one thing I dislike : the cutie hates it to be taken out of his cage or outdoor run , so then he BITES :( :mad: :eek: . Not pleasant !!And what is making so nervous lately , is Maya's "poop-behaviour" ... . She still does leave her "sigares" in a corner regularly ....
But I repeat it : I LOVE ALL MY PETS EQUALLY !!!
One thing is true: Their teen years are BRUTAL for them too -but I know what you're talking about. I remember my husband's daughter at that age...Quote:

But: good point. I am convinced that my parents love their dogs more than they ever loved my sister and me. And I am sure that my sister loves her dogs and cats more than my niece. I am more or less sure that my niece loves her cat more than my sister.;) ;) ;) I have also a suspicion about my husband.
And it's maybe not too bad that I don't have skinkids:rolleyes:
Crazy family isn't :confused:
This will be blasphemous to say here but... I'd have to say Kia is my favorite over Zam.
Zam is a bit high strung and most of the time I can't pet her without her slicing and dicing my hand with her teeth and claws. :eek: :( She's loving on HER terms where Kia is always there when I need a shoulder to cry on.
But in all fairness, Zam is new to the family and I'm hoping that after she's fixed, she'll calm down a little.
But I don't love Zam any less.
That's normal attitude for a cat , Kimmy ...! she loves being petted , IF SHE CHOOSES TOO ; if not , then beware of her paws ..:rolleyes: :D :D
ramanth, I love your calico kitty, especially the black spot on her nose! ( I want a calico:) )
......wayne
I WISH my parents were like that!!! They are not pet people. They love other people's pets and take great care of my pets if I need them to, but don't want the permanent responsibility of a lifelong commitment. I always beg my parents to get an animal and let me pick it out, hehe :DQuote:

Interesting topic!! I have to admit that Marius is my favorite. I think it's because Marius is my cat...my first cat (that wasn't my parent's cat or the family cat...but MY cat) and Scooter is Aaron's cat. We both brought our cats to the marriage, so it's like we have our own his and hers cats. Scooter clearly loves Aaron, but he only tolerates me to a point and that's fine. He's definitely daddy's boy and I love him too, but I love my little Marius head because he's my special boy!:)
:D :) :) :D you'd better say Marius (the Monte look alike) :D :) :) :D LOL
:D ;) :) You know it! :D :o ;) There's just something about those white cuties!Quote:

Well out of Bastet and my pet rock Bob ... I would have to say Bastet wins hands down!
I prefer her company to most of my human friends!
:D
No favorites here.......I love Mimi because she is just so easy, and seems to fit into whatever situation she is faced with. She is 13 years old (young) and is as lovable as the day she came to live with me (six weeks old). But Butter came as a mean adult cat, and I mean, MEAN. But I love him dearly and since our move, three weeks ago, he has become a different cat. No meanness to him anymore. Hurray!! I've always said that if I had to choose only one of my multiple pets (3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 Cockatiels and a hamster), it would be Mimi, but only because she has been here the longest and been through every life change with me. But I love them all equally.
LOLQuote:

I love all 3 of my furkids equally. There are some qualities of each that I like the best though. Storm is the first cat that I've owned by myself, he picked me to be his owner, since I nursed him back to health shortly after I adopted him,we've formed a very strong bond, he's a very social cat, he's a great big brother to his 2 younger brothers, he likes to cuddle with me when I'm in bed. Pepper is a big sweetheart and an even bigger mama's boy, since I adopted him at 9 weeks old he thinks I'm his mother, he's a lap cat and likes me to give him hugs and he's very easy going. Sunny is very energetic and entertaining, he's a lap cat, he's orange and I have a soft spot for orangies, he's the baby and he knows it, he likes to talk to me, and he's the aerobics instructor for Storm and Pepper. :D
O.K I feel like I'm breaking some Pet owners code by saying this but...SSSSHHHH Hercules is my favorite We are just SSOO attached. It's like he reads my mind sometimes. It might be becasue I saw him being born and raised him since he was 1 second old!He is my shadow. If anything ever happened to him (or any of my pets) I don't know what I would do. Don't get me wrong though. I love all my pets. They all have different thing I love them for.
I'd like to say I love them equally. I do really.
But over all:
Shaianne (rainbow Bridge) is probably my favorite I still talk about her like she is alive. And she was the first dog I could say was all mine. I still cry thinking of her.
Kylie is my first Kitty that is really mine. And she helped me thru Shaianne's death, and I saved her from God knows what in the home she was in so we love each other. She is very happy here. I love her softpaws on my face while I am sleeping.
Keegan is the first dog I have had as a puppy. She will probably be the closest to me of the 3 hopefully. Since I raised her from 6 weeks. She doesn't understand me like Shaianne did. Shai and I could look at each other and she knew what I was thinking. Keegan is totally oblivious simply b/c of her age. I had really doubted the closeness her and I had for a long time. Almost up to her first birthday. I didn't doubt that I loved her, I doubted her love for me. B/c we don't have the closeness that Shaianne and I did. But the first time I took her to the dog park to meet Amy and Anna and I was afraid to let her offleash b/c I was afraid she wouldn't come back to me even in the fenced in area. When she wouldn't go out of my eyesite and wouldn't let me out of her's I knew that we had "it". And she came back when I called!!! (that's a big deal for me!!!):). Then the one time I was there and had to go to the bathroom and she sat and watched out the fence until I came back, wouldn't go with the other dogs, Diana, Amy, Anna. NOONE!! I thought "awwww she really does love her mama!!!"
I am not saying that we have what Shaianne and I had. It is kinda like loving a person, you love each of your pets differently. They love us unconditionally and we love them the same, we love each and everyone of them differently!!!! :) Does that make sense? :confused: :)
A very difficult question here......I don't have a favorite, but I will explain a little bit about my relationship with each dog.
My parents brought Smokey home when I was 2 years old. They got him as a friend for me. Smokey and I have always loved eachother, but he's always been OBSESSED with my mom. He can't be out of her sight and follows her everywhere! So I love my Smokey boy dearly, but he definitely loves my mother more...I think I am in second place. :D
Reggie is like my brother. My dad took just me with him (and didn't tell me where we were going) to pick him up. He was the last pup in a litter (my dad's friend had the mom) that nobody wanted. He rode with his little paws on my shoulder all the way home. After we got home, I did not see him much for a while though lol. My sister totally mauled him, and wouldn't let anyone else see him. I think that's why Reggie still doesnt' care for her....but Reggie became MY buddy. He always wants in my room every morning and wants to be with me. To him, I am the favorite.
Nebo is like my child.....very pathetic, lol. I have wanted a siberian husky all of my life. It's what I've begged for at every birthday/christmas for years. Well, my sister got McKinney and I watched him for 3 weeks...then Melissa got a dog...and well, there was one long night conversation about the topic of dogs. It didn't really go anywhere, but I had a "maybe" which was completely MORE then I had ever got out of them! And then I ended up in the hospital this summer, and I think my parents finally decided to give in then....and now I have my baby Nebo! :D I was quite worried that he hated me at first. We didn't "connect" at all...I know this sounds pathetic, but I even cried a few times because I was so upset that I thought my puppy hated me :( ..of course Nebo didn't "connect" with anyone...he was a complete snot! He's a big teddy bear now. :D
Shais_mom, I understand how you feel with Keegan, it really reminds me of me and Nebo. I know Nebo loves me now, but he loves everyone in the family. Some time I'd like to see if Nebo would act like Keegan did in the dog park! He *does* listen to me better than anyone else...and my mom says he looks all over the house for me when I'm not there, but I am yet to witness this for myself lol.
I think there is sometimes a little more of a connection for a dog that is really yours, vs. the family dog. I don't know, but I just love knowing that I paid for him, I feed him, I spoiled him, I trained him...etc...:D
wolf_Q.....just to let you know that you aren't pathetic, I cried when I thought Calvin and I were not "connecting" (and that was just earlier this year....I am 40 years old)Quote:

Now that some people confessed, it shows that we are just human. I love ALL my furries, and I TELL them that, every day, individually. It is just, some put a bigger paw print on your heart.
thats not very nice!!! :eek:. my mother will always like and love her kids more then her pets.. but thats just in our household..Quote:

i love both of my rats the same, but in different ways and for different reasons. Pippin is so fat and cuddly, and merry is pocrony and sweet :p.
out of all my dogs i would have to say i love tikeya the most, that seems mean but i do, she is my baby i would die for her. I love her so much with every waking moment and even in my dreams, she is my lil gurl. she is my life :)..
