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.0

HI I have a grey tabby that I rescued as a 3 month old from outside. Her name is Rosie and got that name because she as pretty as a rose but she had nails like a thorn. she 2 years old now and still so pretty and loveable . Just recently she started being bad and not using her litter box. So yesterday I went out and bought 2 more litter boxes and 3 different kinds of litter. she started using the new litter box with the cheapest litter 98 cents a bag YEAH love my cat
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! 0 -
Another cat lover chiming in - we have four (down from six): Sugar (white longhair), who is mother to Mallory (B&W female) and Tumbleweed (Orange male), plus unrelated to the three of them is Fantasy, a tabby/white bicolor shorthair. All are 12 yrs old or older, so much kitty-sleeping is done in our house, hah!0

Introducing Ms. Kat Von C
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.0 -
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! LOL0 -
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.0 -
<<<<<<<<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 there0

I have a beautiful black and white DSH named Bootsie and a very handsome orange tabby named Boogie. They like to pretend like they hate each other, but almost daily when I come home from work I catch them sleeping so close that they are touching each other on the couch. Boogie is so big and would eat till he exploded if I let him...he's a major attention lush and will do anything for you if you would just pet him and then feed him. Bootsie is such a little lady...she likes to lie down with her front paws crossed and she likes to "squeak" at us. She really loves canned tuna, well any fish really, but other than that she prefers her catfood to anything on our table.
I don't know what I'm going to do if/when anything happens to them...SO says no more after these two are gone, but we'll see...Maybe if the kids and I :sad: enough he'll give in.0 -
Patrick is my 3 year told Maine Coon - I got him from a rescue in PA, but before that he was in a rescue in NC. He was actually scheduled to get gassed!! :brokenheart: Someone mistook him for a pregnant female and he was spared! :happy: He somehow made it to PA where i ended up with him. He is the sweetest cat! He was born on St Patrick's day, hence the name. I wasn't looking for a cat at the time i found him, but happened across him and knew I had to take him home!
He acts a lot like a dog, which i am told is a Maine Coon thing - he begs for food, licks his humans (hell of a thing to be awakend by kitty kisses!!) and begs to be petted! Even loves his ears and belly rubbed!
BTW - can anyone tell me how to post pix in a forum post? then i can put his pic up! :bigsmile:0 -
Socks- the office cat
Nacho- The sweetest kitty who ever lived. Chose me by tapping me on the shoulder from a cage behind me when I was trying to pick one out. Had to have him.
Mortimer- Partner's cat, Nacho's best friend and an avid hunter. (No worries, the bird eventually got away)

I currently have 3 cat-babies. I have lived with many others and all my cats are indoors cats so they live a long healthy life. In the past 3 years I have had to say goodbye to 3 of my "elders" - Stevie, female Maine coon who lived to be 21 years old; Ragamuffin (Muffy), a Japanese bobtail (well, she was born like that but we found her outside with the rest of her litter) calico who lived to 18; and Rascal, an all black short hair female who lived to 19. All of them are missed greatly and they will never be forgotten.
Current residents within my home are Cali, aka Momma, who is a short hair calico that was a neighborhood stray. She came in one night 3.5 years ago (April 13) and gave birth at 2am to a litter of 3... which leads to the next baby, Brownie who is one of the 3 babies from that litter. When she was born she was black with one patch of brown over her left ear... now she is a tortoiseshell because the brown and black are mixed all over her... and Momma was still nursing this litter when she came home (yes, she chose me!) bearing the weight of more babies. The next litter produced 7 babies - of which my 3rd baby is one. Daphne is a gray-stripe calico with white paws and she is a doozie! They all love to play but Daphne gets a little too much in Momma's face - she doesn't forgive her for not nursing her until she was ready to be weaned... I had to get her to the vet to be fixed before she ran out and got herself preggers again, so she only fed those babies for 6 weeks instead of 8...
So, those are my babies in my ticker photo... the Momma refuses to pose with them!0 -
Bungle Bear, 3yo siamese/ragdoll cross, sleeping off a mouse binge:-
I've also got a 17yo black cat called Merlin.0 -
I have a long-haired calico named Chili and a medium-haired brown tabby named Penelope. They don't much care for each other, which is a shame - I bet they'd look adorable curled up together into one big fluffy purring mass.0

I've got six. That's Kallie in the pic. She just turned 15. Was a 'foster failure', as in I fostered her (along with 5 others at the time) with intention of adopting out but fell in love and kept her. She's my princess.
Then there's Casey a 10 yo maine coon mix. He was a clinic kitty while I was in vet tech school. Came from a local shelter so he was rescued twice. Each semester, the school got dogs and cats from the shelter for students to work with and then adopted them out at the end of each semester. He's too smart for his own good and a daddy's boy.
Miss B (10 yo tabby) and Peanut (7 yo DSH dilute calico) were Hurricane Katrina refugees. I fostered them for my local rescue group (we housed 150 Katrina kitties) along with 1 other. We found his family (yay!) but couldn't find the girls' families :-( They didn't do well at adoption events and I eventually adopted them. I really think they decided they liked it here and didn't want to go anywhere else. You can tell they know they got a second chance. Miss B is my 'velcro' kitty.
Reba is a 4 yo orange and white medium hair girl. Another foster failure. She came with a group of 9 and stole our hearts. She's the court jester of the bunch. And a real lap kitty. Snoozing right here with me now.
Little Bit is a feral I've taken care of for 13 years so she's at least that old. B&W tuxedo girl. TNR's her and her last litter of kittens. Took 8 yrs for her to let me touch her but now she can't get enough lovin' . A sweetheart.
And of course there are the various neighborhood kitties that all come to visit and get free meals. My husband says we are the 'kitty Kool-Aid' house. I prefer to call myself the 'hairy godmother' of the neighborhood.
Love all the pictures of everyone's fur babies.0 -
I have a pretty girl named Emma. She's 6 months old and is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Check out my profile for her picture.0

I have two. They are nearly complete opposites.
Angel is a Maine Coon, but she acts like a skitzo monkey. She literally will hang and balance from my stairway rails. She is thin and agile, and will squeeze herself in the three inch gap under the sofa. She also likes to climb high above the kitchen cabinets, and in a flash jump down and run full speed up the stairs. She keeps away from company and is off in a world of her own. When she wants attention she will let you know. She likes to climb on my chest and knead on my neck as I stroke her head, but she does not give this affection to anyone else.
The other is a half tuxedo and half grey tabby mix. Her name is Precious. She is the brainless love bug that uses her weight to get what she wants. She is not the smartest, but she will bulldoze her way into getting the attention she craves even if that should mean to push the dog out of the way. She doesn’t climb or run, but you’ll find her lounging on the bed or in the middle of a dark hallway where she blends in well. If you leave a glass of water on the table be warned that she will make her way to sticking her paw in your glass sometime within an hour of you setting that glass down. She will also chew laptop cables or headset wires if left in her ease. Her favorite pass time is lounging next to you on the sofa as you massage her head.0 -
We have six cats, Wanda, Doris, Ruby, Voth, Batch and Lyle.
My daughter is currently doing work experience at The Cat's Protection League this week and is loving all the cats.0 -
I love my cats!
I have a male Balinese named Jinxy and I have an Abyssinian tabby mix female named Ginger. They are so wonderful to me. They keep the moles, mice and rabbits out of my garden. They keep the lizards and mice out of my house. They are smart and no trouble at all! Best pets ever--kittehs 0 -
My baby Kitty is a short haired tabby cat. He is gorgeous! with the white dipped paws and white nose, with black tail. and Big too, he is the same size as my parents' dog, which is a Shiba Inu. My cat's name is Scampers and he is about 18 lbs but not fat. The vet called him tall and lean, not obese at all. He loves following me around the house and even "pops a wheelie" when I come home to let me know he's happy that I have returned. He's a very good boy and smart too... He has figured out how to open some doors and a few other tricks that he has taught himself.
Whats most interesting about him though, is that I found him as a kitten while I was out on a camping trip. He was starving, shaking, and all alone when he slowly approached my campsite. I fed him a whole can of tuna because I felt so bad for him... a tiny kitten with ribs popping out... He ate the whole can and then wouldn't stop purring. It was raining and cold at the time and his fur wasn't all there, so I picked him up and put him in my jacket (: He purred for a week straight! Scampers is truly my baby kitty, even though it has been at least 8 years since I found him as a cold, starving kitten.
I love my kitty and he has always been such a good boy, I think he really is grateful that we met that day!0 -
OMG, please tell me that is your cat! I love it!!!
...love the dog in your profile pic too btw 0 -
I have a male cat named Maximilian. I got him at just a wee kitten from Craigslist. He was very very sick when I picked him up. He had a horrible respiratory infection and was missing almost all the hair on his tail. He made a full recovery and is a fun, active, playful monster.
My girl cat is Miranda. I wanted to get a second cat, so I started browsing online. I saw her picture on the animal control site and instantly fell in love with her. I drove out to see her, and she was not interested in me. I looked at some other cats and narrowed it down to a boy and a girl. I was ready to leave with the boy until he turned aggressive at the last minute. I was going to take the girl instead until Miranda started to come around. She laid in my lap and started purring and loving on me. She had the sweetest sad eyes I've ever seen. She was the one I came to see. She's the one I went home with. She is the absolute most sweetest cat ever. She never ever stops purring and follows me everywhere I go. She sleeps right by me every night. I adore her so much.0 -
I have a cat called Toffee, I love him sooooooo much! We found each other! I was helping Cats Protection by advertising the cats in our local paper. Toffee caught my eye straight away when I saw him! Well one day I got a call from the person who was fostering him, he had cat flu and he couldn't be kept anywhere near her show cats and so she asked if I could look after him until a home was found. I took him in and 2 people came to visit at different times, both times Toffee bit and hissed at them. Baring in mind that Toffee is a lovely soft loud purring tabby brown long haired cat and has never hurt a fly this took me by complete surprise! He didn't want to leave me so with persuasion from my ex who never liked cats I kept him! Well turns out Toffee was the one who helped me get through the tough times of my split with him he is always there for me day and night. Yes he is very affectionate and will dribble on me constantly, scratch the floor carpet when I am ignoring him and scratching my chest when he lies on me but I wouldn't change him for the world I love him to bits!!0
