I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just joined this site today, and I'm looking forward to spending some time here with fellow kitty lovers. I adore all my little four-footed children, and truly, they are my children.
I have an eight year old domestic tabby named Noel, who ... is the matriarch of the bunch. She keeps everyone in line. She's also the one that follows me everywhere I go, and is the most dedicated to me.
I have a two year old Egyptian Mau, warm bronze, who was a bit of a rescue, but is a wonderful addition to our family. She's the timid sweet shy one. And she likes to curl up under the blankets so she feels secure (and warm, I'm sure). She is Bagheera.
I also have a new kitten... I've been affectionately calling her the marbled menace. She's a brown marble tabby Bengal. She's quite a character. We named her Joyeux, to go with Noel (who we also got at Christmas time..hence the name).
Also in the household is an F3 Bengal, who belongs to my sister. He's definitely a character all on his own, and quite an interesting sort. He's quite lovely.. and has a lot of wild ways about him. He is, appropriately so he thinks, Shere Khan.
Just departed from our home was another Bengal girl, who I loved dearly. She died a tragic death, on Thanksgiving and I still have not recovered from it. Noel is suffering a lot too, and often searches the house for her. She's not been so bad lately, as the kitten is helping her too. Her name was Riki Tiki Tavi.. we called her the tiny terrorist when she was little, and Tavi more recently. She was a packrat, just like Riki Tiki Tavi was too. Couldn't leave anything sitting around within her reach.. she'd steal it and then it would be up to you to figure out where her latest stash was. I still haven't brought myself to get into at least two stashes that I know she had before she died.
Unfortunately, we also had to get rid of our Great Dane, who was the reason for the tragic death of my lovely little thief. So not only did we lose the cat, but we also had to find a new home for a severly mistreated and finally rescued loving dog.
Anyway, on to a brighter note. Our household is finally starting to come together again. Hopefully things will feel right again here soon. All the kitties seem to be making the adjustment and they are doing very well with the kitten. I've been considering adding a Tonk to our mix.
Take care all, and hopefully I'll get some pictures of all my babies up sometime soon.
