Here's a pic of Mika with Socks and Boo a few weeks after we got them. Mika would kill me if he knew that I put a picture of him on here with him looking like this. :laughing:
Louise - is that a proud daddy or what???
Leslie - piglet is too cute!!!
There are SOO many great pics in this thread!
I got another one of Gary, and since the other one was so..... I thought it fair that he get a better shot. O.k. So he's not shaved. But Munchie curled up with Shelly - and Gary couldn't resist:
I was just catching up and realized I'd forgotten to say anything to Spooky about that pic - it's FABULOUS! While Mika certainly looks very mischievous - Socks and Boo are TOO CUTE!!!
And Louise - go figure, but Gary didn't like cats either! He was truly a cat-hater until sometime this Spring. !!! And even then he was just lukewarm. It really wasn't until we rescued Lazlo - and that first few hours inside, when Lazlo just BURIED himself into Gary's arm and loved him so much - his heart just melted.
[We'd been caring for a stray for 9 - 10 months so it wouldn't raid the garbage, when a litter of kittens turned up in the yard - and that's what brought me to the cat site. We'd been caring for them (outside) for about a month when the whole family disappeared except for Laz. That's how he came inside. Even Gary felt bad about the poor baby outside crying!]
And yes - now Gary is the proud daddy of three! And he is the primary care giver to all the outside cats (except Booger - she's "mine.") With the cat we dropped off last night, that makes 17 that he's trapped and we've had spayed/neutered since June.
...He owed a LOT of apologies to people (friends who own cats), and started dialing them all to profer those apologies.... Some were so shocked that we have one cat, let alone three - that they still just don't really quite believe it. !
Wow he's undergone a real conversion then!
Lee didn't exactly hate them but just didn't ever consider owning one I guess. He's allergic to them as well.
When he first moved in with me I still had my older cats Sai, CJ and Snowy but we lost all three earlier this year. He had gotten used to them being around and was pretty upset when they passed on.
The house seemed so empty with no cats around, so we made a joint decision to initially get one but then decided it would be better to get 2 so they could keep each other company. Lee loves black cats so that's why we chose to get Draco to be Orion's buddy.
Good thing about the russians is that Lee's allergy hasn't been giving him anywhere near as much problems as it does with other cats. I'm not sure why but it's a good thing anyway...lol
Here's some more pics...
