Thanks, I think the girls are beautiful too, I always admired them when they were owned by that horrible woman, i even took pics of Nikkita as I thought she was so amazing, I love her face with her black mask on one side,they have both turned out to be the most loving cats and so cute, I am very fortunate and blessed, I always wanted a tortie girl too, now Ellie-Mae used to be called Duchess by that woman, i decided i was not going to keep their names, but had been calling her Duchella for some time, so i needed to stick with something similar to that is how she became Ellie-mae, first it was Ella and is still sometimes, yeah i kinda think it suits her too, she is a real character prob got the most purrsonality of them all, she is nawtee to her daughter though, probably ascertaining her dominence over her, and is quite vicious at times, she is not as bad as she was originally, but has her moments, she has the most lovely little chirps and quite a different sounding noises than the other kitties, she also almost does back flips when playing, and when you pick her up and cuddle her she squeaks, these little miaows out , anyone else who did not know her would think she was being hurt,but we know it is just her.

Nikkita and my Lexie are very alike in purrsonality, very sweet, gentle loving kitties, and Ash and Ellie-Mae are similar,poor old Ash just wanted an easy retirement, now he has these three dominent snappy females at him at times, Ellie quite often will give him a smack just for the hell of it, he takes it in his stride, a very laid back ole boy is Ash, he was dominant over Lexie and quite often would do the same to her, and she just wanted to love him to bits, so i guess what goes around comes around lol, yes it can be quite entertaining watching the four of them interact at times.

Morning feed times are funny, they are all hanging around me, i don't know which kitty to feed first, and Lexie is so hungry look out any kitty who goes near her feeding patch, swiped they will be.

All my kitties are on measured amts of food now, but it is very hard to stop them stealing each other's food, Ellie needs to loose 400grms,Nikkita 300grms, Lexie 1kg, and Ash probably 2kgs, although he is a naturally big cat, he is twice the build of all the girls, he still needs to drop some weight, to help his sore back legs from arthritis and his heart murmur, so i am trying my hardest to practice tough kitty love when it comes to feeding times, they look at me with those cute lil faces and i melt, but i have been good and are getting stricter by the minute, he he.
