I'd like to see a pic of Wolven.

My sis had a cat named Maynard, because of his goatee.

I used to think I was a cat person, but now that I have a dog, I'm a cat and dog person! I like to take my dog places with me, to the dog park or PetSmart, etc. You can't do that with a cat.

On the farm
I currently have one that lives with me, and 3 that were "family cats" that stayed with my parents when I moved out. So I see them when I visit.

Katina is turning 1 year old on July 23 - she is a DSH tabby. Adopted her 9/23/07 from the SPCA. We also adopted her brother, but he went to the bridge on 6/20/08


At my parents' house, there is Chassis, a 5 year old DSH tuxedo; Caliper, a 4 year old DLH colorful cat (we've been told she's tortie), and Tailpipe, a 1.5 year old siamese mix of sorts. All of them were adopted from vets offices as kittens.

We are getting another kitten after we get back from vacation in August. Rob and I (and Katina!) are "lonely" now that Monte is gone. We were going to wait until our house was finished, but at the rate things are going, that'll be never! So we compromised on August
Then we'll have two living with us again.

Next to the World's Largest 6-pack
I have 2 cats right now.
Nabu - Blue/Gray DSH, most likely Siamese mix- he's rather exotic looking
Stimpy - Brown Mackeral Tabby DSH

I'm kind of hoping that after we move I could get a 3rd again. It seems so quiet with just 2 cats.

i currently have two cats of my own, and 3 fosters

Molly - 15yo pure black
Mabel - ?, poss 15yo, pale ginger and white
Zia - 18, long term foster, dark tortie

Moses, 8yo black and white
Clover, 3yo longhaired tortie and white.

All my bridge babes bar one are in my siggy, the one missing is Rosie, she was 15, and went to the bridge 2 weeks ago tomorrow.

The most cats I have had is 10, that was about 3 weeks ago, but that was only for one week. My limit for permanents is 2 (I only take oldies, and invariably get one that costs a fortune!), my comfortable overall limit is 5, but I normally run at 6.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
For all of you caring for outside strays and ferals, I so hope you're getting them spayed and neutered!


We have six, all former ferals, and we're at our limit:

Lazlo - DSH, grey tabby, 6 years old.
Sheldon - DSH, B&W, 6 years old.
Spooky - DSH, brown/orange tabby, 6 years old. Previously abused.
Tuxedo - DSH, B&W, 6 years old. Has autoimmune disease.
Flowerbelle - DSH, White, deaf, with one eye, doesn't see too well out of the other. 5 years old.
Ming Loy - DSH, Black with small white markings on chest and abdomen, born with cerebral hypoplasia, so handicapped.

Neither of us ever had kitties before, and in the six years that we've been involved with cats we've rescued and fostered or managed to get adopted out straight from the vet's 21 kitties. We also started a no-kill shelter in 2004, which is adopting out over 200 kitties a year. We've TNR'd (Trap-Neuter (or spay)-and Release) 53 cats. ALL kittens of ferals prior to their trap and speuter got adopted out.
We even found several people willing to take older ferals! We got three adult ferals adopted out.

Please don't feed a stray in need unless you're going to TNR!

My family and I own two cats right now: Ginger is five or six years old, and apparently a Maine Coon - she's got a light-reddish and white coloring. Truffles is a completely black cat with very faint speckled white hairs in some places, he's about four or five months old and of no particular breed.

Ginger had a brother, Pepper, who we had to put to sleep due to a vaccine-associated sarcoma only a few days after Christmas last year. We were all heartbroken
