Music to Make the Cats go Wild
Tara - Nick name 'ity-bit' because she's so tiny - just over 6 pounds. She's the most skittish of all my babies and even when being petted has the 'pet me, no don't pet me' look
Amelia - Nickname 'Bratelia' since she gets into every draw, cabinet that she can put her paws in.

“She’s got tuna. I know she’s got tuna.”
“Shut up, Sethra. Stay on mission.”
“What’s the mission? I thought the mission was to get tuna.”
“No, you stupid fluffbrain—it’s to escape and become outdoor cats, walking by ourselves, on our wild lone, waving our tails.”
“Oh, yeah? And isn’t it you, my dear stripy sister Aliera, who keeps pushing the FEED button on the printer and waiting for tuna to come out?”
“That was when I was much younger. Anyway, she’s at the computer—yes, eating tuna casserole—so we can go into the bedroom and see if we can knock the window screen out.”
“You do it, Aliera. I’d rather mess with her stuff.”
“Will you GET OVER that fixation on her wristwatch?”
“I like the feel of the Velcro on my paws. Hey! That reminds me. We’ve been declawed. How are we going to survive as outdoor cats?”
“New plan coming up….”
“What’s the big deal about being outside cats? Even StalkerCat, who used to hang around and chat us up, is a house cat now and loving it. We’ve got it made—food, petting, toys, valet service for the litter box, and we get to sleep on her bed twenty hours a day. And we can stick our noses up to the window and smell anything interesting going on outside. Why ruin a perfect situation?”
“Sethra, have you no sense of adventure? No curiosity? No cattitude? We were meant to live wild and free, to stalk and slay our prey, to be mistresses of the night!”
“Look, we’re cats. We were meant to rule the world, but that doesn’t mean we have to WORK at it. You can if you want, but I don’t need to. After all, I’M beautiful!
“Did I mention she’s got tuna?”
At 8, you'd think Mikey would understand that he's a carnivore. But, no, he's rather fond of the shrubbery! At 20+ pounds, the veggie-enhanced diet is likely mitigated by a love for long naps on a warm comforter, wet cat food, begging at the table, and a nice lap to drape himself upon in the evening. And he drools when he's happy, which may or may not mean there's a Siamese ancestor lurking in the old dna.
What? Green teeth attract mice!
Who needs a wickerwork basket when you can hop on a cushion and bask?
Rufus is clearly a cat to be reckoned with.

Firestar is a tough cat. He has to be, living in Minnesota. He takes care of his family: wife, husband and their son. This was recently proven by his daring capture of yet another mouse in the house. Foolish rodents. They never learn. When not engaged in derring do, Firestar naps, looks out the window and sleeps. Firestar was born in April of 2006.

What a gorgeous kitty! She looks so sweet and snuggled.
I agree. Just realized I never commented about her. Sleeping cats are the pinnacle of contentment.
I guess we can also call her 'Cutelia' - she is a sweety though.
whenever we're getting ready to leave, she most often rushes to the stool by the door, jumps up and mews so we can pet her.
I'm trying to leave (bike ride, coffee, read about Java) but I'm being held back by a purring cat - Scarlett - what am I to do? (Problem solved - the phone rang - kitty ran away)
I just love seeing my Amelia on this blog, I check it several times a day just so I can admire her. (let's not discuss that I could easily admire the actual cat . . . )
There is a photo of my Amelia on the wall where my husband works - they had asked each employee to provide several photos and that was one of the ones he provided.
(uh ho - purring cat is back.)
Cats just invite our attention. Well, demand it, is more accurate to say. But we willingly give it.
You got that right - happy to give my babies attention!
I wonder if they curl around and look adorable when no one is around - I often feel they use it as a lure.
Cats can't help but look adorable.
True. I stand corrected Although there are some poses that are more adorable than others.
And cats a just as adorable as when they were kittens. Never changes
say bevie, did you read The Power of three series of Warriors? (books 13-18 not counting the special editions ) I'm irked by the ending but of course ID still read them.
No. I read the first twelve and then the special one about Firestar and Sandstorm.
Amelia looks so sweet and innocent sleeping there...
Who'd guess she's dreamimg about the day she gets to eat her humans?
Haha! No doubt.
Welcome, Richard. Thanks for letting us know you were here.
She's more likely dreaming of what other toys in the house are for her pleasure to toss, claw, throw, shove off whatever it is sitting on. All is fair game: salt shakers, silk flowers, Q-Tips, wrapping toys around laptop cord then pulling the entire laptop to the floor, trying to get the toy (broke the cord by the way - 70 replacement!)
