Thanks, everyone. Pep is a good kitty. We gave him a bath recently (first one in 2 years) and he looked so thin - his poor little legs are like twigs underneath all that fur. We can't figure out what those black spots are on his nose - they seem to come and go. A friend of my husband found Pep abandoned in a vacant apartment in 1986. He had nothing in the apartment but a dripping faucet, and thus he will now only drink out of a dripping faucet. He's such a sweet cat - I can't imagine why anyone would abandon him like that. He has the cutest, funniest meows - he'll open his mouth before sound comes out - and then the meow comes out - it's too funny, like watching a japanese monster movie!

Vivi is special too - she's quite aloof and gets attacked all the time by Sasha Marie who wants to play CONSTANTLY.

It's nice to have new cat-loving friends with which to share pictures and stories! I love all the pictures of your cats too! Samantha and Vivi could be sisters!
