Hi everyone!
I just wanted to introduce my family. We have 9 kitties:
Buster
He's 22 years old. Definitely a "people person", more of a "grumpy old man" when it comes to other cats. Has caused much speculation that he's part billy goat because of his incredible climbing abilities and his meow that sound more like baas and grunts. Was a stray rescued out of a tree in our yard and moved in to our home soon after.
Kieth
Probably 8 years old. Stray rescued from a pack of dogs. He's a big boy at 22 pounds. Very sweet, loving, funny baby.
Jasmine
Age unknown - I would guess around 10 years. She was a very tiny stray/semi-feral cat that we took in. She was pregnant and so less that a month later we had 3 new kittens as well. Jasmine is so sweet and gentle. She shows her love for us every day. She is always the first one to greet you when you come in the door. She is a true joy.
Spike
Jasmine's kitten #1. Will be 7 years in September. Confident, sweet girl. Totally knows she is in charge of the house but doesn't lord it over everyone.
Sunshine
Jasmine's kitten #2. Friendly, playful, everybody's buddy. Just don't get between her and her canned food.
Zuzu
Kitten #3. Extremely talkative girl. So obsessed with Kieth. Wants to snuggle with him 24/7.
Then there are the new guys. Sam and Isabelle were adopted from a shelter and are about 4 months old now.
Sam
Isabelle
And finally there is Rocky. Unfortunately I don't currently have a digital photo of him and he's afraid of my camera. He's sandy-beige in color and potentially the father of Jasmine's kittens. He was a true feral and it took a long time to build trust. (He is a true lap cat now and he's so loving it's amazing.) When we took him in for neuter/shots he was diagnosed with FIV. That was 6 years ago and so far his health has been great. We don't know how old he is but we know at least 12 years.
All of our cats are strictly indoors except Buster who we walk on a leash occasionally. Well that's everyone. Hope to talk to other cat people on this great site.
