RSVP - a little long
Hello everyone; my name is Mike. Flippy found me hanging out in another
cat group and invited me to stop in here, so; here I am. I live in Kentucky, in the USA, and although I hold the mortgage and am the bringer of feasts, there is a cadre of cats that live here that won't let me forget who's boss. Turvy (Bombullerina) is the matron of the clan, she is the oldest at 10 years. She rules the household with an iron will and sharp claws. She is half of the duo of Topsy and Turvy, but Topsy was adopted by someone else before I found them. Mischief (Mistoffolees) is the muscle of the bunch. An ex-stray, street smart and 13 pounds of smak-talking thug kitty. Etcetera (Baby) was found by my mom on her farm in an old shed, along with her 2 brothers. The best we can tell is a coyote must have gotten their mom, as she never ever turned up. So after feeding them for a few days, she bundled them all up and took them to her house. Now Etcetera lives here, brother Loki with my mom, and brother Thor with my sister. Rumpleteaser (Blondie) showed up at a co-worker farm one day late last year, so hungry that she was trying to gnaw pieces from a feed block made for cattle. After some bottled water and a can of tuna she was ready to move in. So, he called me, we made a quick trip to the vet, and she's been here ever since. Skimbleshanks (Hobo) is the newest addition. Just a couple months ago, several of our factory managment team were outside the plant talking, and a little, almost handful of kitten hopped down from the wheel carriage of a railroad car and trotted over to them. He ate all the turkey off our production planners lunch sandwich, and as I was walking out the door to go home, he caught a ride. Well, thats the gang. I have hundreds of pictures of them, but none stored online yet. I plan to upload some of them to yahoo photos, and when I do I'll post some links. Don't know how frequently I'll be posting, but just wanted you to know that we're here. Mike The early bird gets the worm; the 2nd mouse gets the cheese!! |

You have a great fur-family there - I love the imaginative names you've given them. Would love to see their pics when you get them up. We currently have only two kitties - Hobo and Speckles, plain names but appropos (is Hobo your cat's name or a nickname?). And my daughter had a Rumpleteaser a few years ago. Flippy is a great lady and I'm glad she sent you our way!! Hope you enjoy the Group - I know we'll enjoy your stories!
