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!
