Stella,

I am so sorry I completely missed your post. I was going to send you a PM, but you have that disabled. No problem I will just put a post here.

No problem about thinking Joey is a boy. I get that all the time. It was her name when we got her at the age of 5 and they said that she responded to it, so we didn't change ot.

Bob we got from a shelter, he was recused from an abusive home. The short story is that we think he was abused by a female because he would go near my significant other for about the first six months. He came around however. After he settled in and realized all was good and he was in a safe place, he turned out to be a great cat. He is not a big lap kitty, he will sit on us, but it has to be his choice. He is very mellow guy and his beging consisits of sitting there and staring at you until you get him a treat. He is also great at the vet he throws a fit for nail trimming, but other then that he will just sit there. When I leave and pay the bill I put him on the counter and he just sits there while I pay. All the people at the vet office think that is so cool. He also has let a couple of people hold him there, which I thought was pretty good, since they where female. He initially goes to the bedroom when we have company, but he will come out and join the party after a short time, ands ask for attention. I think the hiding part is from his previou life. He will genrally be in the same room as us but not on us. It is so cute if he can't find us, he will meow until we answer him. He has a quiet meow for sich a big cat.

That is about the jist of it for Bob, I know that I have to be leaving something out, but think that I should stop. Ask me about my kitties and I will ramble forever.

I will tell you about Joey in another post. I spent to long on Bob and now I have a dentist appt., just a cleaning.

sirrahved the MC is considered a native breed, they are belived to have come over on boats hunderds of years ago on norse sailing ships. I think that is correct, when I come back from the dentist I will get the full story. I am not sure if there are still wild one.

Bye for now.
