    I have 5, yep. 5 lil bundles of torment an aggrivation.

    Joey, 13 year marble colored (predominantly black though) short haired mix FEMALE. We got her at 8wks from someone who swore she was a male and helped us name "him" Joey. I took Joey home, and showed everyone that we have a lil girl to take care of and the name stuck - Joey (Josephine) She is the queen of the brood.

    Heidi, 12 year old black short haired. Found her on the side of a busy highway at 3 months old (estimated) feeding off swampy water and whatever a young kitten could find to eat. Hubby rescued her, brought her home, we rehabilitated her (showed her what REAL food was) Vetted her up and through the course of the years have decided she is a bit pf a schitzo, which I won't elaborate on more than that. She is attached to hubby, for obvious reasons. She is afraid of her own shadow. Literally, she jumps sideways if she notices it.

    Isis, 8 year old black medium haired. Rescued through a mutual friend who found her and her kitten abandoned/feral. The others from the litter were a loss and the kitten died shortly after we took them in :( Isis is easy going, chatters non stop, and isn't as social unless she wants something. She is content to let Joey be the queen, as long as we let her outside once in a while. She is the only outdoors cat we have, atm. Typical cat.

    Marco, 6 year old long haired tuxedo who thinks it is our job to let him out any day, any time, regardless of what we are dong and pitches a fit if we do not comply. He vanished from our household shortly after Thanksgiving last year, and as we live next to a forested park we assumed the worst. He came home 7 months later and behaves like he wasn't gone an hour. He has since been grounded indoors for life. He demonstrates his protest peacefully by plopping down on my laptop keyboard when he notices I am busy writing more than 1 sentence at a time.

    Felix, 2 year old long haired tuxedo with a stub tail. Obnoxious, whiney, wimpy bundle of adorable who thinks irritating the other cats is the best sporting event in history and has seriously ticklish tootsies which is so much fun to take advantage of ^,^ Rescued at 8 weeks from "the great outdoors" in the middle of November when temps here were far too low for a young kitten to survive for long in. No one claimed him after a month so we kept him. Jury is still out on it it was a good idea >.> (j/k)

    All my cats are UTD on shots, spay/neutered, spoiled rotten pains in my butts who each have their own obnoxious personality. The year we got Felix was the same year I lost my oldest, and my favorite male- Handsome. tiger, 13 at the time we had to put him to sleep due to some serious health issues that compromised his quality of life. The vet suggested there were things we COULD have don but the cost was enormous and it wouldn't guarantee an improvement on Handsome's suffering, just prolong the inevitable.

    I love cats, and would love to have more, but 5 is my limit, and probably once the brood starts thinning out I will not be taking in more- but I said that before we rescued Felix, lol..

    I have three babies: Coal is a black Maine Coon that picked me to be his Mommy. He scaled the cage at the Humane Society and stuck his paw out and grabbed my shirt. We've been stuck on each other ever since. Butterbean came reluctantly at the same time. He's part Orange Tabby/part Siamese. He has eyes that are really too big for his head and jack rabbit feet. He has the muscle mass of a Siamese and the pudge of a Tabby so when he steps on you, you know it. The third one is Little Bit, who only has three legs. He's a Champagne Tabby. He was attacked by another animal when he was a baby and climbed a tree to survive. He's my hero. He looks at the other two cats like they have something wrong with them for having four legs. He runs faster than either of them put together. My cats are my sanity.

    I grew up with dogs so its kinda funny that I went in the other direction. I love kitties. 12 years ago I got my first one. He was a black short haired that I adopted from my ex boyfriend. His name was Sam aka Sammybear. He was by my side up until a few months ago. I had to put him down due to a growing cancer tumor.

    My second kitty was Sam's companion and I lost him in April 2009 of old age. His name was Ricky but he was a Blue point Himalayan and was so regal so I called him MR. Ricky.

    When I lived in my apartment, there was an orange stray kitty that showed up around 2004 during one of the hurricanes. I named him Garfield and fed him for several years. Sadly, he passed this winter.

    BUT....I'm happy to report that I am a kitty mommy once again. My brother's friend notified me of a kitty that was recently abandoned and needed a home. He was very affectionate and I just couldn't say no. He is a British Short-haired and I have named him Loki.

    I have 2 babies, both 1.5 years old.. They are brothers, one is grey striped, he is Timmy Tebow :happy: and the other is black and white and his name is Dominoe, but my family and I call him MeMoe. He looks like a mini version of my mom's cat Moe so we started calling him Mini Moe, but then it got shortened to MeMoe. My babies are spoiled rotten and I realllllllly want another, but my house is too small for 3 babies :grumble:

    Beau is a 9-year-old domestic longhair with a black top coat and white undercoat. He also has a rather severe case of cerebellar hypoplasia that has not slowed him down even a little bit.

    He's rail-thin despite the fact that he has food available 24/7 and eats like a horse. He's very loud and demanding. He's mischievous and loves to sit in my lap when I'm working on the computer so that he can swipe things off the desk and watch them drop to the floor. His arch enemy is a piece of wadded-up copy paper that he'll yell at for several minutes before attacking. Total wack-job, that cat.

    I couldn't love him more.

    Mo is my profile picture. This hansome guy came to us when my neighbor's daughter was moving back home. She had 3 cats & could only take 1 so I lucked out and got Mo. He is very vocal and loves to steal the warm spot on the sofa when someone gets up.

    Lilah is my ticker. We adopted her from a shelter after my cat of 17 years passed away. I did not want another long hair but I'm so glad she picked me. She is the cutest cat ever. Everyday when I get home she runs to the kitchen and flops onto her back showing her white belly, mittens and boots. She is a big flirt, we call her a hussy because her favorite position to sleep is spread eagle on her back.

    <-- That is my kitty Miaka (Mia for short). Mia is my adorable little blue! I don't know what I would do without her sometimes. She's a little miracle worker who turned my husband into a cat person! She's 6 years old. I had another kitty named Neeko, but he passed away 2 years ago from cancer. Mia was there to console me while I was grieving. To this day she won't let me sleep alone even if it's a nap on the sofa while my hubby is at work!

    We have three cats, all boys, all right around two years old, a diffuse (i.e. pale) orange tabby, a Siamese tabby mix, and a Maine Coon mix who is a mix of white and brown tabby (i.e. the colored areas have tabby markings, the rest of him is white). I also have two formerly-feral foster kittens, they're 4months old, and grey tabbies--a boy and a girl. And right now we have an orange tabby kitten I just trapped, his mom is a local stray cat I feed, she's coming inside as soon as I trap her other kitten. Yes, I'm the crazy cat lady.

    Ive read in cat books that they can act out and not use the litter box for several reasons. The current location is too loud or busy...plus they say that there should be a litter box for every cat in the house plus one extra so they have several to choose from depending on their moods and the box locations. They can also act out sometimes if its a medical issue. Bladder or urinary infections etc.

    Glad to hear your kitty is using it again. Our furry little felines can be so picky sometimes! :smile:

All are 12 yrs old or older, so much kitty-sleeping is done in our house, hah!

    Introducing Ms. Kat Von C

    mskat.jpg


    don't let the curvy girl fool you..weighing in at 25 lbs..she still jumps straight up in the air to my daughters shoulders when she comes out of the shower..it's something about her shampoo...Kat will chase her down until she lunges and is on top of her shoulders.

    Can also catch flies in mid air. Will drag my heavy fleece blanket OFF my bed. Can kill a mouse with one slap of her massive paw. I have had cool cats all my life but this one def has proven to be the most talented.

    My fur son is Alessandro ( Sandro for short.) He will be three in December and he had a history of being sickly when we got him, but my hubby said he was perfect. He is in absolute perfect health now and he is sitting on my lap now watching me type. He is my emotional support animal, though he doesn't have a badge, but he has helped me with so much.

    On his paperwork it says he is a domestic shorthair, but after doing some research we think he looks closer to a Bombay. He has the temperment and the look for sure.

    I had never had my own pet before and my hubby said that kitties are miracle workers at helping people fight depression and anxiety and he was right. I don't know how I ever lived without him. His favorite activity is waiting until I"m in an intense yoga pose and then walking under me or licking my face to see if I can hold it! LOL

    I have FIVE cats. Here are two, Keppen, the tilty-headed tuxeo cat with an insatiable appetite for mischief and his buddy Tilly, a tiny three-legged ball of fluff and fun. We also have a tabby girl who is the most cat-like cat in the world, a big orange man cat who owns the house, and a little old black cat who lives in our bedroom because she hates cats.

    <<<<<<<<My little beauty is in my profile pic. He is a himalayan and rules the house, expects to be treated like a king. Hates walking on grass and walks on side foot paths as proud as punch. He also likes his bacon half grilled and milk lukewarm. He has a bit of a sweet tooth like his owner and loves sweet cakes especially. Now he is on a diet through no fault of his own but does like sugar free jelly with ice cream. He also likes fish and sausages grilled and won't eat them raw. He also hates men which is a good thing lol. It took him 6 months to get used to my husband and he is still weary of him. When I had a miscarriage he was very comforting and sat on my tummy as if he knew something happened. Great to see so many cat lovers out there
