Hello everyone. I just thought I would introduce myself and my two companion animals, Alex and Kitty. Oh, my name is Ryan in case you cared :p

Kitty is a marble Bengal. She is approximately 7 years old. I adopted her when she was about 3 years old from a family that was moving and couldn't take her with them.
I'm not totally sure what breed Alex is... He is approximately 4 years old. I adopted him as a kitten from a family who claimed that the mother was a purebred Manx but the father is unknown; however, I cannot see any resemblence to a Manx in Alex. The vet that I take him to thinks he has a bit of Siamese in him. He has slightly crossed eyes and the build of a siamese, but his pattern isn't at all like that of a Siamese and his meow is not at all like that of a siamese. Another feature that Alex has that I have not noticed on any other cats I've seen is that his nose has very little (if any) pigment and appears white if he has been laying around or pink if he has been playing, which I've attributed to blood circulation. If you have any ideas as to Alex's origins, please let me know!

Anyhow, here are some pictures of Alex and Kitty! Enjoy!

Oh my just look at that little doll

One of my babies ( Gracie ) is cross eyed.
There's just something about those sweet little crossed eyes that I can't resist.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!


I found a few photos of Alex as a kitten. I would upload more photos of Kitty, but she never holds still for the camera, but Alex loves cameras so I have loads of photos of him!

This one is the first picture I ever took of Alex! He was riding in my father's lap to his new home for the first time...





In this last picture he is laying in the litter pan of parrot cage which my father uses to house his green iguana (Don't worry, Alex stayed away when it was dirty). I guess Alex liked it because of the warmth from the heat lamps. When he could no longer fit in the bottom part he started climbing the side of the cage, using the bars like a ladder, and laying down on the very top. When I noticed him sleeping up there, I put his cat bed up on top of the cage and to this very day he sleeps up there when he's not sleeping with me.
