Another cat ownee checking in...
Hello catman, welcome to the board! Thanks for starting this thread Lioness, as I'm a total cat devotee. I think I'll list my friends from eldest to youngest, in the order that they found us... so without further ad, let me introduce the Nine Wonders of My World:
TC - The one who started it all, he first appeared about ten years ago as a miniscule orange blob crawling over the fence from the neighbors house. They had acquired him froma grocery store and he immediately decided to adopt us instead. He is now a retired tom who lives in my garage, as he is FIV+. He weighs in at a stately 19 pounds.
Widget - The Alpha cat, she is TC's baby from about seven years ago. Short round and lovable, she rules the house with an iron paw.Perfect grey/black tabby with tenny-tiny little paws.
Butch - Widget's brother, he is a large sweet 12 pound grey tabby who thinks he is still a 6 ounce kitten.
Gypsy - Found at a golf course about three years ago, she was in late-term pregnancy with a horrible chest wound. After three weeks of shuttling back and forth between clinics for round-the-clock care, we lost the litter but saved her and found her name. Very independent grey/white punk.
Incubus - A kitten from a several-generations inbred litter, she is the psychotic of our brood, with violent and unpredictable mood-swings. Hence the nickname of freakapuss. She's a long-haired tri-color who looks like she recently went for a ride in the dryer.
Casper - A tuxedo transplant from a house where she was turned outside for peeing too much, after being de-clawed, she is a portly sweet cuddler whose favorite position is lying on her back having her tummy rubbed.
Mugsy - A little grey and white long-haired cutie-pie, she looks like a japanese anime cat, but she thinks she is the fiercest jungle beast ever born.
Karma - My own special little darling, she was born on our back porch last May and abandoned at birth. I found her about two hours later, cold, wet, and still covered in afterbirth. After the longest six weeks of my life, in which she went literally everywhere with me, with hourly feedings and cleanings and worrying and loving, she is now a year old and absolutely devoted. She is the most loving little girl I've ever met, and always has a long story for me when I get home, along with extensive cuddling. her favorite thing is to put a paw on each side of my face and rub her nose on mine. Love those kitty kisses. She is a nearly perfect tuxedo with a black mustache and goatee.
Simba-roo - Found in a ditch last September, she was covered in fleas, had an upper respiratory infection, and one eye was horribly infected. After extensive treatment, she is now a happy member of our clan, with a purr roughly four times too big for her. Somewhere under that mud was a little brown tabby.
If I can find someone with a digital camera, I'll try to post some pictures of my kids...
