Hi Everyone!
I'm new to TCS and thought I would introduce myself and my two adorable furry companions. My name is Dennea' and I have two sweet, although sometimes irritating cats. Harlow, is my baby, he was the first cat I got on my own as an adult and he is the main man in my life. He is a 2, almost 3, year old orange and white male mackerel striped tabby and he is the most laid back easy going cat I could ever ask for. He has no problem with other animals, big dogs that he's unfamiliar with scare him a bit, but other than that shuttling him back and forth from my house to my parents house on long visits isn't a problem since he's so laid back. He gets along great with the "cousins," my parents 1 year old Maine Coon and their 12 year old terrier and when we got his sister Sadie, he didn't hiss, growl, attack or anything when I first introduced them.
Harlow taking a nap with me and saying "hi mom! come pet me!"
My other little darling kitten is the newest addition to our family, Miss Sadie Mae (she goes by Sadie, but was originally named Doug by the girl I got her from). Sadie, which sometimes I wonder if it's short for Satan haha, is my little 5, almost 6 month old baby girl. She has no fear once so ever, except when it comes to dogs, she's still a little leery of them. We welcomed Sadie to our home almost three months ago and she rules the roost, or at least likes to think she does. She definitely knows she's mama's little girl and she plays the part. The first night I got her, I opened the carrier to pick her up and comfort her and she jumped right out of the carrier went and found Harlow and smacked him right on the top of the head and then sat there and looked him. They've been best friends ever since. Sadie definitely knows she's adorable and plays it up completely. She doesn't quite meow, but chirps when she wants attention and has no fear about jumping right up in my lap and demanding I look at or pet her that instant. She also is attached to me, no matter where I go, whether it's to get a glass a water or use the bathroom, she is right next to me and will do figure 8s between my legs.
Sadie loves the sink and will cuddle as long as I let her.
Maybe someone can help in figuring out how to describe Sadie. Example: I know Harlow is a domestic orange & white short-hair with mackerel striped tabby markings. Sadie, however, I am unsure if she is considered to be a Dilute (since she is grey, cream & white) Calico, a Tabby (she does have some tabby markings as you can see in the right picture on her leg in the orange spot & her tail is ringed slightly), a Torbie or if she is a Tortie....there's a picture below too so you can see that she's not fully spotted, she's mostly grey, except for her paws, just under her chin and her belly (those are all white). If anyone could give me their input that would be fantastic, I just want to know because she's kind of hard to describe color-wise.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to learning more about my cats quirky habits and everyone else to has a furry feline that they love as much as I love my munchkins.
