Very pleased to meet the family! I am sorry for the loss of your
dearest friends. I know my girls won't be here forever but I dread
that day and hug them all a I can. Frank and Nikki, in their photo in
front of the rock, did indeed still look full of youthful catness. What
a wonderful moment, the two of them sleeping in the 'heart shape' as
you described.
Miranda and Caliban, your baby pictures are precious and wake up my
kitten cravings! I have never seen a picture of a Russian Blue outside
of cat books- astounding color Miranda!
Frank on the rocks- I love watching my girls play. And what an
atmosphere he had for playing in!

Thank you for Joyce for our welcoming! They are sweet, although not to
each other if they know I'm around! My fiance swears they don't fight
at all when he is here and I am not home. But I'm onto them- on my
fridge is a photo taken by Nate of Annie sleeping at my side as I
napped on the couch, and Sylvia lying half on me and half on top of
Annie, and also asleep! Little buggers!

Hmm. What are they trying to convince you of, by fighting only in front
of you? That you have to give them more attention and pets (or treats)
to reassure them both that you still love them both?

I forgot to mention anything aobut my crew. I have 3 cats - two older
girls, Roxy and Smudge (ages 8 and 9, respectively). Roxy's a brown
tabby with a lot of white underneath, and Smudge is a grey and white
fluffball. Both are domestic moggie-types. The newcomer is Licorice, a
sleek, shiny black and white tuxedo (mostly black, with dramatic white
whiskers).

Smudge is demanding, bossy, and opinionated. She *must* go outside
several times a day, and if I don't hop to it quickly, she'll sit by
the door and yowl. Roxy is a zen kitty. "It's all good" is her motto.
She has tremendous patience and an all-around cheerful disposition.
But she isn't overly mellow - she does get the zoomies every day and
loves to play. They're both very affectionate cats and will cuddle
near me or on me. Licky, although almost 3 years old, is still a
kitten at heart. He *lives* to play. And he loves to do odd things
like take little objects off of tabletops or night tables and carry
them to who knows where. I'm forever finding small items in strange
places (such as a cherry tomato from a bowl of them in the kitchen, on
my computer chair). He also has a partly feral personality, in that he
is skittish and afraid of strangers. He even runs from me if I'm up
and walking around. But he loves to be petted, and if I'm sitting down,
he'll come up to me and emit a very forlorn cry, begging to be petted.
He has a new girlfriend, Tweed's Kitty Farmcat, but he still needs
attention from me.

Here's my kitty site:

Those outside pictures are from our summer island, where I take the cats
for the duration of my summer holiday. I'm looking forward to next
summer, as that will be Caliban's first time out on the island.

Hello Snoopy, Bagheera, and Adrian! So nice to meet you! What lovely,
sweet faces you kits have! such a sheen t your coat Bagheera- Snoopy
what handsome markings. I see you like sleeping on the top edge of
the sofa (futon, armchair here) cushion too! It's a good place for a
lookout as you rest too and you can be with the humans but not be
above them and not sat upon or edged out!
I was advised of tinypics.com but we do are new to computer ownership
and do not yet have a scanner! One of the benefits of being behing
technology, I can probably get a decent one for under $100.00!


I have the CanoScan LiDE 35 which is well under $100 and it's not the
cheapest on the market, prices of computers and accessories are dropping all
the time. :-)

Hi! This is my second post here. Just wanted to introduce my babies!
Sylvia is a 6 1/2 year old grey tabby, a rescue from behind a
restaurant in Asbury Park,NJ, at 1 1/2- two days later I adopted her,
fresh spay stitches and all! Living with a human, interacting with a
human, was a huge adjustment for her- but now, though still a tough
hunter and able to handle her own 8 lbs quite effeciently, she is a
total cuddle muffin with me.
Annie is a 3 1/2 year old Maine Coon rescue, found on a road side as a
tiny kitten by a friend of the woman in Greene (Maine) from whom I
adopted her at the age of 6 months. True to what I've read of Maine
Coon personality traits, she follows me everywhere (due in part to her
kittenhood i think), talks even in her sleep, and loves attention but
always on her terms. She does trust me now and is learning to trust my
fiance- she is also hides less rapidly when new people come, but
remains jumpy and skittish around new people and strange/ unexpected
noises.
Sylvia is still put out at having to share me (though I try and try to
keep it even) but seems to start fights with Annie less now that Annie
is about full size, and twice Sylvia's size. (no one has ever gotten
hurt).


Welcome! Pull up a cushion, get yourself a saucer of cream, and make
yourself at home!

Hugs,

Welcome! I too am a newbie and am still trying to post pics. It's so
much fun looking at all the great cats that belong to other people that
I hope to figure out how to send mine too.

Cantate in Japan (and Cherry, Jona, Emma and Chibi mrrrrrow!)

Nice to meet you kaleigh!!! Your cats sound looooverly!! I am the humble
slave of jasmine, who wandered hungrily into our backyard one day, her
kittens Moe, Garfield and Congo, and more recently Mango and Cougar, two
Meezer cats. You can see them all at their blog;

Oh, and do you have pics of your babbies???
