Oops! I knew I forgot someone... Unfortunately I cannot recall her name, a
young calico female (mostly black) we rescued in 1981 and rehomed in 1982. |

You have a male calico? He's a rare kitty! Maybe that's not what it's called? He's mostly white, but has big splotches of grey-tabby coloring and a grey stripey tail. (pics he http://www.flickr.com/photos/2276878...7603708650865/) So what do you call that?? Adorable? Upside-downy head? He's a brown tabby with white - a *lot* of white. I would also call him a "Roxy-style" cat because he's patterned more or less like she is, although she has less white: http://www.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/..._fetching.html A calico would also have orange fur, where the orange and the brown/black striped fur are in separate patches. But Fearless doesn't appear to have any orange. -- Joyce To email me, remove the triple-X from my user name. ^..^ |

Sometimes I go out to call ours, and come in and tell Charlie to forget it. If I were a cat, I wouldn't come in on some of these nights either. Jo |

"Yowie" wrote in message ... ~~~ Current cats For each cat, please answer: Name: Gender: (use a star to indicate intactness. ie, a breeding queen would be female*) Breed: (DSH, for example) Colour: (eg, tabby & white) Age: (if unsure, indicate a 'best guess' with a star eg, "about four" would be 4*) Source of cat: Just turned up one day and declared the place home, neighbourhood stray, given to you, adopted from shelter, adopted from pet shop, adopted from breeder etc etc Tanada, female, DSH, Black and White Tuzedo, 15.5 years old. Received from neighbor who threatened to throw her out onto a five lane street if I didn't take her. QC, female, Maine Coon mix, brown/grayish tabby, 10* years old. Berfert (RB) brought her home one day and she never left. Merlin, male, DSH, gray tabby and white, 10* years old. Was brought into PetSmart for surrender by a soldier being sent to Korea. His meowmie had already been sent to Germany. Merlin never made it to the cages. His original name was Tiger. It didn't fit him. Pine Cone, male, DSH, brownish gray tabby and white, 7 years old. Discovered us on Morrow Mountain State Park in North Carolina where he'd been dumped by some dipwad with feces for brains. He heard us and came running. He's been running us ever since. 1st Sergeant Huey, male, DSH, orange tabby and white, 6 years old. Was abandoned by another moronic dipwad with feces for brains on Simmons Army Airfield here at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He immediately appointed himself at Rob's nurse cat. The two of them do most things together. Sonya, female, DSL/oriental mix, gray and white tuxedo, 4* years old. She was a foster for a local no-kill shelter. She decided that she liked the digs after all and we decided that she was a natural to own us. When her kittens went to their only homes, Sonya and one kitten stayed behind. Qui Gun Kit, male, DSL/oriental mix, black and white tuxedo. 3 years old. He was the runt of the world's longest feline pregnancy. He was also the most curious, active, and strange of the kits. He and Mike, our son, fell in love and have been buddies ever since. Miss Calico Girl, female, DSL, brindled calico and white mix. 2* years old. She was abandoned by a stupid twit when said twit moved from a trailer park in the neighboring county. Rob was receiving nursing care at the time and his CNA brought her over for us to take care of her. MCG weiged about 8 lbs and you could see her back bone and ribs. 6 months later she weighs over 11 lbs and is a healthy girl cat, except for ear mites. ~ ~ ~ We also don't want to forget the cats that are no longer with us. Feel free to list any other cats you have been slave to: Whe (Rainbow Bridge, Missing in Action, Rehomed, Unknown etc) Name: Gender: (use a star to indicate intactness. ie, a breeding queen would be female*) Breed: (DSH, for example) Colour: (eg, tabby & white) Source of cat: Just turned up one day and declared the place home, neighbourhood stray, given to you, adopted from shelter, adopted from pet shop, adopted from breeder etc etc Age if went to RB: Cause of going to RB (if known): Diamond, RB MIA, male*, DSH, black, neighbor had too many pets and was ordered to get rid of one or be evicted from military housing. Diamond was Rob's first soul cat. We got him at 9 months in 1987 he abandoned us to live with his girlfriend in 1990 as we were leaving Kentucky to move across the country. Muffin, MIA probably RB, male* gray tabby and white. Adopted from a pet store. Muffin was in a box with a sign on it that read "any kittens still here at closing will be taken to the shelter." He was about 4 when he went missing in '92. We kept putting him on a diet and he went where the pickings were better. Pixel, RB, DMH/oriental mix, black. Neighbor adopted him and decided that she couldn't cope with cat messes so dumped him on us. disappeared as we were packing to move to Texas. Our neighbors kept accusing him of opening their rabbit cages and stealing the baby bunnies. I wish my fingers were as nimble as his paws were supposed to be. Guido the Mafia Hit Cat, male RB, DSH, black. 1* year old. Adopted as companion and therapy cat for our son. Run over on five lane street one night. He was Tanada's brother and the strangest character. Both he and Tanada used to eat olives from our daughter's fingers. Pumpkin. male, MIA DMH, orange tabby, 2* years old, was rescued from an abusive neighbor, disappeared from our back yard in California. Buddy, male, RB, DSH, gray and white, was abandoned by previous renters and decided to let us move into his apartment after all. murdered by a neighbor. Buddy liked to weird out the other cats by "barking" at them. He also liked to meditate with me. Penelope, female, RB DMH, calico and white, was abandoned in our neighborhood probably when she went into first heat. Wound up on our doorsep and moved on in. Gave birth to four bitties, two of which inherited her Feline Lukemia. She died from it in 2004. Berfert, male, RB DSH, black and white tuxedo, was rescued from abusive neighbor. Mike's buddy after Guido went to the bridge. Berfert had the most warped outlook on life and would do things just to make the humans shake their heads and wonder about him. ~ ~ ~ About us: Gender: Your age: (in 5-year bands,14 or less, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, etc etc) Birthday month: Location (state, country): Number of cats you are slave to at the moment: Maximum number of cats you've had at any one time: How long have you been with RPCA?: (If you can remember) How did you find RPCA?: Me? female, 50-55, September (Virgo) North Carolina, USA, owned by nine cats, Max cats owned by 12 (found homes for most of them then got adopted by a few more) I started with RPCA in 1998 after searching for a group of like minded people on USENET. The other cat groups were either meaner than snakes or were focused on matters that I wasn't interested in. Pam S ~ ~ ~ feel free to add any other interesting data points if you like. Eventually I will compile the results into a set of interesting statistics (eg, something like "most people here own 2-3 cats, the most poular cats are DSH tabbies and tuxedos, most of us are between 35 and 60, scorpios seem to own the most cats, and most of our cats got RB because of CRF at around the age of 16 or so. This is what I hope will be included in FAQ looks at Mark) Yowie |
