Cute right!

I love looking at all your kitties.

This is my Russian Blue - Mora. She'll be 14 years old in July. My husband thinks she's snooty, but she's just a little shy and cautious around strangers, just like me.



This is our tabby Kurtyns, my husband's cat when I first met him - he is responsible for the strange name and spelling - she used to climb the curtains as a kitten. (I was initially attracted to future husband because he had a cat. And he loved his cat). Since we married and combined cat families Mora and Kurtyns have kept their distance, but they are kinda friendly to each other in an icy way. Women! Kurtyns is also about 14 years old. She greets everyone at the door. She patrols our windows like a security guard. And she loves donuts. She once broke into a closed cabinet, knocked down a box of powdered sugar donuts, tore through the cellophane lid, nibbled on about 4 of them and then left behind a trail of powdered paw prints.



And THIS huge hunk of a kitty is our tabby Tommy Boy - aka Sir Thomas, Garfield or Lump. We saw him at Petsmart while buying food for the girls about 5 years ago. He was this HUGE former stud muffin that the shelter folks loved, but no adopters were interested in him because he was older (3 years) and looked pretty rough. My husband fell in love with him but I hesitated because I was afraid he'd beat up our girls. After almost a month of visiting him, hoping that they'd tell us he finally found a good home, I gave in. I just couldn't bear to leave him alone in his cage one more day.



Oh, there were days when I questioned my sanity. This huge former alley cat was frightened of his own shadow, and our two girls. He had one illness after another, he decimated our carpets and our furniture. I spent many sleepless nights trying to re-train him with the litterbox. He kept licking chunks of fur off of his front legs and we thought he had allergies but the vet diagnosed him with anxiety. Seriously! Finally, after about 6 months he started to calm down. He realized that we weren't going to abandon him or abuse him, as I suspect he had been in the past He and Kurtyns are now in love, they groom each other and hang out together all day. He also loves to chase Mora who secretly taunts him with her aloofness. He's about 8 years old now.

All 3 cats are wonderful with our 2 cat-lovin' kids, so in the end all is good.

Your cats are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!~

Dear Printer Repair Man:
Please come to my house and check my printer.
Every time I use the printer - and I am away

blurred . I hope
that you can find the problem!!

Awww! Kitty snuggles!

[hatfull]

Awww! Kitty snuggles!

I know she's not a cuddly cat normally, but just recently she's been coming and putting her front paws on me and having a cuddle. She likes to be near me, but noirmally she hates cuddles. Middle age has mellowed her I think!

[hatfull]

hahahaha! Sounds familiar. Lulu isn't as bad as wallace used to be, he used to climb into the bed, lie next to you, and then kick you because you were selfishly in the bed spoiling his stretching

when I first got bumble, I used to have him in with me, I got him before the shbf was on the scene. When he arrived, he was clearly allergic to Bumble so that was that, Bumble was out, on occasion I wonder if I made the right decision as I looked at Bumble on the floor...

I so miss not having a cat about..

although I do have tinker at work, so its not that bad.
