Before 2 years ago I had never had any cats, and i certainly wasn't looking to change that. However, it was winter and freezing raining, I noticed 2 young kittens climbing a tree in my backyard. So I took them in and named them Mister and Molly.
pictures of then:
Molly:

Mister:

They quickly adapted to the indoor cat life.

Then last year this cat started hanging out on my back porch. I tried to ignore him for a couple weeks, and it got to the point he was there every time i looked outside. I was very reluctant to bring him inside because the other 2 got along so well.

After searching for someone that he belonged to, I eventually caved in and took him to the vet to get checked for a chip and get neutered. I named him Oscar:

The vet said he is probably a couple years old. He too took to the indoor cat life easily.

After slowly introducing them, it turns out they all get along fine.

They stand united against the common enemy, the backyard squirrels.

It's only recently that Molly has learned the wonders of the TV.

Taking care of them has been surprisingly easy. They aren't picky about food or litter. Mister and Molly don't mind getting their nails cut and Oscar is getting better about it. They all love toothpaste but i'm still working on getting them to like toothbrushes. They have never clawed up anything, and they stay off the kitchen counters and tables.

Welcome to The Cat Site. :hithere: Your kitties are all gorgeous. I love the picture of Misty and Molly. :catlove: I love their names, as well. And how great for everyone involved that Oscar, the latecomer, has been welcomed into the kitty family. :catrub:
Thanks for rescuing all 3 of them. :petcat:

Welcome...and you have already learned the basic #1 law of cats. Sometimes you choose the cat, but often the cat chooses you! And what pretty babies chose you.

Thanks for all the welcomes!
Of course they love the comforter that shows cat hair the most.


Not happy to be woken up by getting a picture taken.

Oscar is not much of a lap cat, but he sits in a spare computer chair right next to mine most of the time. All 3 of them love getting their belly rubbed.

Molly and Mister still insist on sharing this box, though they don't fit as easily as they used to.

Oscar doesn't really cuddle like the other 2 but he likes to lay touching.

Unfortunately for them the trees in my yard block most of the sun, so they have to find slivers of it shining through at certain times of the day.
