Especially for kimlovescats! Proof I am not just a dog person. In fact I had cats before I had any dogs!
My first furkid and the one I stole my screen name from, Glacier. He's been very understanding about all the additions since his arrival. Glacier is six now. I hauled him out from under a friend's deck when he was six weeks old. He's been with me ever since. He's a well travelled kitty having made the move from Alberta to the Yukon with me.
And then came Pete. I used to work with kids in foster care. Pete was born to a barn cat at one of the foster homes. Momma-cat vanished when he was three weeks old. Pete was the last survivor of his litter. I hand raised him with some help from Glacier. Pete still thinks Glacier is his momma! He nurses on Glacier's paws. Pete is also well travelled. He's the cat I had to send to Saskatchwan for PU surgery.
This little thing is Dominique. She was found wandering all alone in downtown Whitehorse at about 5 weeks old by a girl I worked with. She couldn't keep her so I said I'd take her and find her a home. Guess where that home was!Dominique is the most fearless cat who ever lived. She loves the dogs, nothing phases her. She got her name when as a wee kitten I introduced her to Pete and Glacier. She promptly wacked them both on the nose and strolled through the house like she owned it. She's been queen ever since!
This is Princess Ivy. Ivy came from our local Humane Society. She was born there and adopted as a kitten. She was returned at a year old. The couple broke up and he didn't want her @()#*% cat anymore. Least, that's what he wrote on the surrender form! I adopted her a couple weeks later. She truly is a princess. She cleans her paws for hours every day to avoid contamintion by human germs. She is distant and disdainful of the other cats. She quite clearly sees them as beneath her, but she's very sweet and sleeps every night snuggled against me, under the covers.
More coming....

What's Felicia's particular "handicap" out of curiosity, and because my signature underneath is all my special needs kitties? Can't tell I have a weakness for them now can you? 
All your cats are so beautiful that we'll be whining for more pictures in no time flat!
