Tell Me About Your Cat(s)...

[shais_mom]

I got Kylie when she was a year old from a friend from work, whose now husband didn't like her. Their loss -- my gain. Her birthday is sometime in early June, and I got her in June of 2001. She is will be 3 this June. She is my first 'real cat'. I had 3 outside cats as a child, but not for very long. They went on about their way.

Kylie is so sweet. She loves to snuggle on her own time. She snuggles in bed. She tolerates Keegan pretty well. She grieved when Shaianne died, she licked my tears away.
She likes to play with her toy mice and milk jug rings, when Keegan isn't around, b/c she eats them. :eyeroll:
Her biggest obsession is trying to get outside, she will do anything to get outside, trying to sneak out the door etc. A time or 2 I didn't think she was coming back so she gets steered clear away from the door. But she does like to look out the window. My next purchase is going to be a bird feeder for outside the window in 'her' closet.
Here are some pics:

Bassett - my heart and soul. She will be four in April, but I don't know her exact bday. I picked April 1st because she's silly (read: April Fool's day). She is a russian blue mix from what I've figured out, but the vet calls her a dilute calico. I suppose she is She is my first "my own" cat and is really bonded to me. She only tolerates other people when she has to, and is quite the little snot. If she get's mad at you, she'll pee in your stuff. She has a disease called idiopathic chylothorax, which means that fluid called chyle leaks into her chest from her thoracic duct, and they don't know why. She has to go to the vet for routine chest drains. Sadly, this disease will significantly shorten her life expectancy. However, for right now she is happy and healthy and has a good quality of life, and for as long as I can, I will continiue to keep her well.
Here she is in all of her "attitude" glory


Tilly - I got my little calico girl from a rescue after my grandma died and Bassett had to spend her days at home alone. At first, they really bonded, but since Nutmeg showed up, they never cuddle or sleep together anymore Tilly is very independant, and doesn't like to be picked up or held. She will cuddle on her own terms, though, and when she does, her purr is like a litte earthquake She is a very social cat. When someone rings the doorbell, she growls at them She LOOVES to play, and sometimes will for so long she gets all puffed out and pants. That's really cute! Her meow is also very sweet.. not quite like a kitten, but very high pitched and heart melting. Her bday is in October. She will be 2 this year.
Here she is playing with my bf:


Nutmeg - I got Nutmeg from an orphan kitten rescue. It was her meow that stole my heart.. that plaintative kitten mew is too hard to resist! I had always wanted a tortoiseshell too, so it was meant to be! She was bottle fed, and so even though she will be a year in June, she still looks like a kitten. Her meow is still as irresistable as ever She LOOVES to cuddle, as close to your face as possible. She also has a really cute crackly purr that rumbles her all the way through. She will play for as long as you are willing to toss a string for her; I usually get tired before she does. She is also a beast.. she loves to jump and leap at stuff and she can get quite high. She has already bent one of my curtain rods beyond repair
Here she is smiling in her sleep :


Sometime soon, I really need to post more pics of my beauties!

Maya : she is my beautiful calico ! She is the sweetest cat in the world . She doesn't even realize she has claws . She is always happy !! Oh yep , Maya is 1 year old !

OK, here goes, all 11 of them

(1) is Fawn who is also part Aby, He looks like Sunny in Krazyaboutkatz's photo. Fawn will be 2 years old on july 17th this year. He is a "trouble maker" among my family, and is a small cat.

(2) is Tiara, a tortie, who comes to me practically every morning for scritchies. Tiara is so named because of a little brown (crown) spot on her head.

(3) is Tiger, She is a lynx-point Siamese, who definitely has Siamese traits about her, with large expressive blue eyes. She was rescued from two high school girls who brought her into a Chinese restaurant wrapped in an old shirt. She was about 7 weeks old then.

(4) Cookie is a tan/silver tortie. She loves to be picked up and cuddled. Also, where ever I go, especially into a room she always wants in after I leave. I suppose she is afraid of missing something

(5)is Otis. I adopted him from a shelter in Pittsburg. Kansas. He is a white, flame point Siamese, and has assumed the dominant male of the pride. He acts as my "protector" when I am doing something around the house.

(6) is Amy. she is a small tuxedo kitty, who was my first rescue from the Visalia animal shelter. Amy is shy, and will not stay nor eat around the other cats. She will only come on my lap for scritchies when I am alone. Any sleeps by herself and seldom shares anything with any of the others except Tiger

(7) is Puma. She is a rescue from our local animal shelter. Puma is a Russian Blue mix, and is very affectionate.

(8) is Blue-Czarina. She is also a Russian Blue mix. Although she is affectionate, she does not like to be picked up most of the time. I have been working with her in order to teach her not to be so mistrusting.

(9) Is Chris cat, named Christmas cat, because he was rescued from our local shelter on Dec. 24th this past season. I am certainly happy with him. He follows me around like a puppy, is very affectionate, and loyal. Chris is about 1 year old, and is also the most playful in my pride. He is a marble-swirl tabby with white underneath.

(10), is Happy cat. He is another flame-point Siamese with snow--white fur, Happy is a happy cat, as alll I have to do is touch him and he begins to purr. Happy and Chris often play together. Happy also loves to knead when I pet him while in my lap. He also likes to "nurse" my shirt sleeves.

(11) is my newest member, Pepper/Neptune. He is a medium furred black and gray tabby, whom I rescued from our local shelter. Pepper is about 4 months old, and is growing very fast. He has been taken in by Chris, as these two often nap together and is frequently washed and groomed by Chris.

Neko- gray tabby, he's 6 years old this month! He's known as my big grey guy- he's so mellow and sweet.

Cookie- black and white, she's 5, she was a feral cat we caught when she was around 8 months old. Her and Neko are best friends. She is known as the bi*ch around the house and she hates Tama.

Pumpkin- orange and white, she's 4. She's daddy's girl and as sweet as marmalade.

Tama- blue Abyssinian, he's 3. He's my shadow, follows me everywhere. I love him to pieces.

I know this is a thread about kitties, but Staci I can't get over how big and beautiful Keegan has gotten! What a great picture of the two of them!

[HayleyRosie]

Hayley is 5 months old, she is all gray with ghost tabby markings (you can only see them in pictures!) She has gold colored eyes. I was told she is part Russian Blue but I think she looks more like a Chartreux.



Mandy, my new addition, is about 6 weeks old. I'm not sure if you would call her a dilute calico or a dilute tortis. What do you think?

[smokey the elder]

Mobius is approximately 9 years old (gotcha day 1/4/94.) She is a LARGE tortoiseshell, who's a food thief. She likes to sleep in odd positions.

[smokey the elder]

Diva is a completely black female DSH. Her birthday is around May, and her gotcha day was 12/5/96. Diva has cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes her a grade A spaz but she does OK! Here she is overcoming CH by lying down while she has dinner (is she part Roman? )

[smokey the elder]

Pixel is basically feral. She was trapped for me in Oct. 1998. She's approx. 5 years old, and a peach female. She gets along much better with cats than with people. Here she is being a nawteecat.
