Thank you! Isabelle did NOT like the kitten at all when she first came. In fact, she stopped eating altogether, pulled out a lot of her fur - she has psychogenic alopecia and I guess that the stress of it just put her into a bad place, and she really just was depressed. It lasted a week - we...

I've been looking at pictures of my Giselle from when she was a kitten a lot lately - makes me sad to see them. But this is from about 2002 - the big tortie girl is Gypsy, and the little kitten is Isabelle. And from the end of 2005 - I guess you could say that they switched roles. Isabelle...

Just wanted to add this in. This was taken almost two years ago - she was having a lot of trouble adjusting to the new kitten we had that would not leave her alone, as you can see. You can tell that she pulled and licked a lot of her fur out. This was probably one of her worse times - the fur on...

Thank you! Ginger is a pretty girl. For some reason, she was kept in a cage in a store for dogs with another cat for six months. Somebody finally came along and picked them both up - they were placed in an adoption program. She was living with a dozen other cats in a little trailer when she...

Giselle. She'll be two years old in September. She's a longhaired tortoiseshell. And finally, Doug. He's our only boy - we think he's probably about two years old, and he's a longhaired black and white boy.

Gypsy. She's a six-year-old longhaired tortoiseshell. Isabelle. She's about four, and she's another shorthaired tabby.

My girls - and our only boy, who showed up last summer and hasn't left since. Angel. She's a twelve-year-old shorthaired tabby. Ginger. She's a longhaired calico, and we think she's about eight.

I joined back in 2005 and I've failed to return until now. Don't think anyone will remember me though! When I joined, my youngest cat, Giselle, was just a kitten. She came to us in late October of 2005. It's amazing to think that she'll be two this year - it's scary how fast she is growing up...

I understand where you're coming from. I have a four year old cat who was put in a box and abandoned in a busy parking lot as a kitten. She started to do a fabric sucking sort of thing from a young age - and still does to this day - and later it started to escalate into her constantly licking...

I have two longhaired tortie girls, Gypsy and Giselle. Gypsy is four years old now, and Giselle is just a kitten. When Giselle first came to our house, Gypsy HATED her. She would hiss whenever she came by and wouldn't tolerate any affection from the kitten. Well, she recently started liking...

Thought I'd post some random pictures of my kitten, Giselle. She's getting SO big. She's definitely a handful - she wouldn't stop climbing the Christmas tree and couldn't keep herself away from any presents under it. Fortunately, no harm was done. All of the girls had so much fun playing in...

Aww, thanks guys! Angel doesn't really get along with the other girls. The four in the picture were all fast friends, but Angel only tolerates them. She's more people savvy. I do believe she was asleep on one of the beds while I was taking the picture.

It's warmed up a little bit, so we opened up the back door today. Walked into the kitchen this morning to find this: Giselle, Isabelle, Ginger, and Gypsy - all in order from smallest to largest.

But after looking away for one second... ... Isabelle comes in and steals it. Giselle isn't too keen on that. And the fight rages on. Needless to say, they are still out there arguing over that lid!

There's something about the lid on the catnip bowl that makes my girls go crazy. So, I got out the catnip today for the girls. As you can see, Giselle is a little... well, over-excited. And the lid comes off - Isabelle is the first one to grab it. But Giselle isn't so sure about that. To...
