My name is Trisha and I have 2 cats. My male's name is spike, I've been taking care of him simce he was a week old. He was abandoned by his mother. He is now 16 pounds and 2 y/o or 14 kitty years. He is a tortise shell, and he doesn't meow, he murrs. Sheba is my 1 y/o pure white female. Currently we are working on the cuddle thing with her, she is very independent.
