I have 4 kitties. I had to put one to sleep in September 2005. She was 15 and I got her when she was 8 weeks. She had cancerous tumors in her leg and near her splene. She was my fav kitty. She was so affectionate. The next oldest kitty is an independent male kitty. He lives outside mainly. He comes in and eats and sleeps. Graycie came from a farm. She loves the outdoors too - when its not too cold. She is a sweetie when she wants to be. I have two kitties that are almost 6 months. I got them at 7 and 8 weeks. They are so cute. They both have blue eyes and are siamese mix. Gabby is a lap (shoulder cat). She wants lots of attention. Abby is more independent - unless she is hungry then she will cuddle and want attention. They are so much fun - playing all the time. They make the older kitties more playful.
