My name is Mike, and I'm the bulter/man-friday/can opener for the Jellicle Tribe, a collection of 8 cats of dubious lineage. 4 of them are adoptees, and 4 of them are rescues. Every one of them have a story, but that would make this post awlfully long, so I'll just like stick to the basics.
First is Turvy Demeter, my very first cat and still very much with us. She is a silver tabby, or rather, a mutt that looks like one. She once ruled the house with iron claws, but lately has decided to retire and live the good life, and has claimed the sun room as her's and her's alone.
Mischief Mistoffolees, the tall, black, street-wise, smak-talking ex-stray thug kitty. A smooth talker that used to bum meals from a neighborhood till a lady bundled him up and took him to the shelter. I was dropping off some donations and we just sort of took to each other.
Diva Etcetera, found by my parents on their farm as a kitten. We never found a mother, so she may have been lost, or something may have caught the mom. Etcetera is what I'll call a Torbie, sort of like a tortie and white with the colors in a tabby pattern, very cute. She is a talker, and every bit a Diva!!
Hobo Skimbleshanks, rode into the factory where I work on a freight train. He was a little red and white kitten that couldn't have been over 6 weeks old, and he walked straight up to the plant production manager and demanded the turkey sandwich she had in her bag....he still has that appetite.
Blondie Rumpleteaser, soft red, almost blond....she was found by a co-worker on his cattle farm. She is the most vocal and snuggly cat I've ever seen.
Peanut Butterum and Sassy Sasparilla, the two new girls. Their former human could no longer keep them, and begged the shelter to keep them together. Peanut is a very very soft red and white, and tiny little Sassy is a perfect Tuxedo. I've recently discovered that Peanut is deaf, and probably has been since birth or shortly thereafter....and Sassy has beome her ears; they're a pair!
And the newest guy; Trace Tumblebrutus. Smashing white and all attitude..but missing his right rear leg. He's a cat without a past, found as a stray on Cumberland Trace road (hence the name)
Well, thats us in a nutshell. I'll probably just read more than post, but I'm sure I'll chime in every now and then
A little photo allbum I've started on the Jellicles...hint, just click "view as guest" under the album picture

The early bird may get the worm;
but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese!!
