Tell Me About Your Cat(s)...

[smokey the elder]

Diamond started mooching around in the summer of 2000. She basically tamed herself. She had a litter of kittens on my back porch on Sept. 22, 2000. She is a total mush now. She's black, and approximately 5 years old.

[smokey the elder]

TicTac is Diamond's son from a previous litter. He also started mooching around with his mom when he realized there were good eats here. His birthday is around now! He's 3, black, and with a tiny white mark on his chest. He loves to show his belly and have it rubbed.

[smokey the elder]

Smokey the Younger is Diamond's daughter, born 9/22/00. She looks completely different from the other kittens in the litter. The others had fuzzy or long haired coats, and were black or black and white. She's a very sleek spotted tabby.

[smokey the elder]

Bosun was a former foster. She came to me in March 2001 with two 3 month old kittens. When I went to get her spayed, turned out she was preggers again. She had 3 long haired kittens which I placed, then finally got her spayed. She's a long haired dark tortie, is gorgeous and knows it. She sits on my lap while I'm on the computer sometimes. She's about 3 years old.

haylerosie. Yes. your blue kitty is definitely not a Russian Blue. That she is a mixed chartreaux, is probably more correct. Russian Blues, have thinner bodies and narrower heads, and always green eyes. Their ears are more at about 120 degree angle to each other.

Edwina is my husband's cat.

Before we were married he wanted a cat. I said..."but my allergies" and didn't say "but my commitment-phobia."

My mother said..."get a cat!"

I said.."the cat must be female, either a calico or gray and white and must be named Edwina.

Edwina joined us from the Animal Shelter in April of 1997 when she was about a year old which makes her about 7 now.

I said..."she must sleep in the basement!"


She just laughed and said..."This bed will do just fine!"

So after two hospital treatments I am an expert in the management of cats and allergies and just adore my (opps...my husband's) little Edwina. She has my whole heart so she might as well have the whole house as well!

(BTW she asked me not to discuss the fact she weighs 12 lbs. and she wants to know WHEN Tigris started two-timing on her with Maya from Canada!?!?!)

We have Fister, a large orange European tabby, semi-domesticated.
We enticed him up into our flat when he was about a year old.
He is a loving, timid little guy, but still complains bitterly if we try to lift him.
No, hang on, he USED to be a loving, timid little guy, but is rapidly evolving into a loving, swaggering little TYRANT who is in the process of taking over our whole flat!
His journey has been well documented.

He is so SWEET though!

ah...oh.....somebody has some explaining to do!! Watch for the flying fur!

[Miss Meow]

Mini - seal point Siamese boy who will be two years old in July. We got him because he had a heart murmur and needed a loving, safe home. Things went pear-shaped and he ended up having open heart surgery, but he survived and I love him so much.

Jasmine - mink Tonkinese girl who we got at the same time as Mini. She was a gift to my partner for Christmas. She's the girl of the family and loves sleeping, eating and chasing bugs.



Pickles - a lilac Burmese boy with delusions of being the lord of the house. Can't understand if Jasmine swats him or if we don't wish to play at 5am. Photos don't capture how beautiful he is. I still find it hard to believe that someone else didn't want him.

Tabasco - another seal point Siamese boy. Mischief with a capital M but impossible to do anything but laugh. Little purr machine and developing a pint-sized Siamese waaaaaaa voice. He nearly died after birth as he and his brothers didn't eat - he is more than making up for that now.

Everybody's kitties are *so* beautiful!! But I must say that the second picture of Nakita is especially beautiful...she looks like a piece of artwork.

Marigold is our kitty...we rescued her from the shelter in March of 2001. The first thing that attracted us to her was her cuddlyness...and when they told us that she was scheduled to be PTS within the next couple of days, that was it...she came home with us. She loves to follow us around the house, and climb up in our laps. I love it when I am lounging on the couch, and she pokes one paw up and places it on my chin...it makes her almost human. The vet has estimated that she is about 5 years old. I love my Marigold kitty, and am always thankful that we were picked as her lucky family.

This is Tubby, my first born. He's 16 1/2 years old and is in the beginning stages of kidney failure, but has been stable the last 2 years with the help of 1/2 of a Pepcid everyday. I got him from a friend who was moving to an apartment that didn't allow pets. Her loss, my gain. He has been through everything with me, and like Logan said, he's been with me longer than anything or anyone else in my life except my family. He is my baby, and is the biggest momma's boy you'll ever see. He isn't too active anymore, but used to be a real terror - I still have the scars to prove it. He has always been an adventurous kitty, and loves to be outside on his leash - course in his opinion he could lose the leash, but I won't take that chance. I'm hoping the Pepcid does its trick for many years to come because I honestly don't know what I'm going to do when he's gone. Oh, and he's Samantha's beau here on PT.


And this is my sweet little Peanut girl. She is 14 1/2 and in excellent health except for allergies. I had a good friend who was Peanut's first mom, and one night she was killed by a drunk driver. No one else was willing to take Peanut, so I did because there was no way I was going to let such a sweet little thing go to the shelter. Tubby and my dad accepted her, and she has now been through all most as much as Tubby has with me. She is much happier since I've met and moved in with Terry, because now she has become Daddy's Little Girl, who can also do NO wrong (like LoudLou's Mocha Bean). She really is a good, sweet little kitty and I love her to pieces. Most times I just can't stand how adorable she is and I have to pick her up and smooch on her - which she hates. She is currently unattached - except to her daddy.

I've never seen a lilac Burmese! Very adorable (again love the name)!!

Here's Jonah - he's a brown spotted Bengal, 1 1/2 years old. I've had him just over a year now. He lives for 3 things - food, toys and his mommy!!!! He's extremely vocal, doesn't meow, but YOWLS!!! He chews on everything - just like a dog. He's a major snugglepuss and rushes to greet me whenever I come home. He sleeps with me every night - either on his kitty bed at the end of the bed, or under covers, snuggled up against me. He's pretty shy, so doesn't really like strangers - unless they have a toy - or something cool to chew on! He's very curious and into EVERYTHING - everything new in the house has to ungergo a thourough and proper Bengal inspection!! He likes to beat up on his brother Finn.



Here's Finn. He's a brown marble Bengal. He'll be one year on April 15. I picked him out at 4 weeks!! We used to call him Barfy - as when I visited him at his breeder, he threw up twice. But decided on the proper name of Finn (actually, short for Finnigan) when I knew for sure he would be mine. He's more independant than Jonah - but still loves him mommy. He has a very sweet, whiney kind of meow. He loves to jump on my shoulders and sit on my lap when I'm relaxing in front of the TV. He doesn't like to be picked up for very long, but we're working on that! He sleeps snuggled up next to me at night. He's very smart - learned how to open my bedroom and closet doors! He loves to taunt his brother Jonah.
