When I was growing up we had several cats. Smokey was the first cat and he was a very large gray tabby. He got hit by a car and was killed. The second cat was Puff. She had 2 litters of all orange kittens and died at around the age of 12 years or so. I was away at college and my mom didn't even tell me until much later because she said she didn't want to upset me. This made me more upset. Here's a picture of my Puff. Her best friend Lucky, the family dog, is on the right.


We then got a black female cat my brother named Charcoal. She had some behavioral problems and peed on the carpet too many times so my Mom said we had to take her back to the pet store. My Mom later brought home a grey and orange tortie looking kitten. We named her Mitzy. My brother was mean to her and she became a strange cat. I think he did something to her mind. Later on she became very withdrawn and depressed and my parents decided to have her put to sleep. The vet even asked if they were sure. Unfortunately I couldn't do anything to help her.

I became very lonely and missed having animals around me so I decided to get a cat. I went to the Humane Society and Storm picked me to be his owner. He's 7 now and a very happy, social, and healthy cat. He needed a friend so I adopted another male cat named Ceasar. He was older than Storm and orange and white. Unfortunately things didn't work out and I had to return him to the rescue place. I think he had to be an only cat.

I then adopted a 9 week old black male kitten named Pepper. He was a wonderful cat and Storm's best friend. He went to RB this past February. He was alomost 6 years old. I miss him so much.

I also adopted a 3rd cat named Sunny and he's my aby/tabby orange and white boy. He's quite a character and got along with both Storm and Pepper very well. He'll be 3 in late August.

On March 10th I adopted another cat named Cirrus. He's only 9 months old now but very large. Storm and Sunny get along with him fairly well but not as well as with Pepper. It will take some time but I'm sure they'll become great friends soon. He's been licking Sunny's head so it's only a matter of time. I sure hope that my current 3 cats will be able to live long happy and healthy lives.
