How did you choose your furry masters?

I've alternated between finding strays in the back yard and having friends
and relations give me kittens. A woman who took in a pregnant stray
gave me Spotsie (9 year old dilute tortoiseshell tabby spayed female)
and Jo (1 year old tortoiseshell and white spayed female) was a stray
that moved into the garden shed.

Ted - your property is beautiful. What a wonderful place for kitties
to go catting about. Your Ozy looks exactly like an abandoned cat
that I fostered, and found an excellent home for. I named her
Dulce de Leche because I think that's what she looks like, and the
name has stuck. Like Ozy, her eyes are also blue.

You take very nice photos.

Their pictures and stories, along with those of some I no longer have

(no I'm not just a voyeur... in three weeks we'll be getting our own
kitties and I'm getting nervous - I've never ever had a cat of my own
in my entire life! What if they decide they don't like me?)

Of the eleven who live with me at the moment:

You're a born catlover alright... I love all the photos and stories
about your herd (flock? pride?)

Aren't they sweet? Ming is a bit reserved, and has a very subtle purr.
Buttercup is absolutely fearless and has a purr like a gravel truck.
I'm not sure that she realizes that she's a Little Kitty. She thinks
she's a Panther.

That's a little like my Frank and Nikki. when I broguth home Nikki as a
kitten. Frank was 11 months old then. Nikki was fearless, and still is,
16 years later. She still believes she's a lion.

Your cats look so sweet. Isn't it lovely when they sleep together and
groom each other? I love watching the cats interact.
