Cleo - 7 1/2 years old, renal failure for 6 1/2 years. Loves to play with the laser pointer and wand toys. Loves catnip and walks on her leash in the summer. She probably has IBD, but it has been under control now for nearly 3 years. I try to limit her phosphorus intake, so I don't give her many commercial treats because they're quite high in phosphorus. She's a DLH Calico.

Maggie - 6 1/2, diagnosed with very early renal insufficiency in March. No treatment other than diet. She's my scaredy cat, afraid of EVERYTHING. Loves wadded up paper to play with. Also likes milk jug rings, laser pointer and wand toys. She's my carbohydrate kitty, once ate the tops off all my muffins when they were cooling! Loves catnip and laying in the sun. She's a DLH Lilac Point.

Lola - 4 1/2 years old. Hopefully, getting over a 3 month long UTI. Very social, loves everyone and anyone...official 'greeter' of the household. Loves to carry her pompom balls around the house. Enjoys wand toys and the laser pointer. Goes nearly psycho over catnip...hilarious contortions and drools! Good cheap entertainment! The only one who isn't interested in people food, but loves the Whisker Lickin's that I brought home from the Michigan Meet-up! She's a DLH dark gray tabby.

Crab legs, steak, carbs.. all the bad food.. pumpkin spice lattes with whipped cream and cheesecake. But I am dieting, so that's all forbidden.. darn it.

I love Bueno bars. Not big into chocolate otherwise but Godiva is good.

Love fresh scents like linen, rain.. also love sandlewood, cinnamon and that 'christmas" scent that's popular around the holidays. I also like the pumpkin pie scent.

I don't really use lotion. No problem with used books. Recycle!!!
I collect kitties.. but nothing material. Love jewel tone colors, also like neutrals.. not fond of pink.

If they're from Peru, anything alpaca. If they're from Australia, there's a particular artist's recordings that I've been looking for..she does the soundtrack from McLeod's Daughters and I just adore her music.

Living room is blue walls w/ white ceiling and cream carpets. Dining room and rest of the house is white walls, cream carpet.. (bathroom is yellow/white) Think primary colors.. it used to be a daycare. Kitchen is a neutral linoleum with light cabinets and off white walls. Upstairs bathroom is done in blues/greens.. think palm trees, seascapes, and sand.

Erm, we don't really have a decorating style, but I tend to like Native American things representing the four directions, peace, harmony, etc. There are fairies in the kitchen and garden. There's also a kitchen witch in the kitchen. We have a Green Man hanging on the walls, pictures of Stonehenge, a Wiccan calendar..

I like soduku and word logic puzzles. Not good at crosswords, and not particularly fond of word searches, but I do like those wooden carved puzzles, like puzzle boxes, or those ones you get from Cracker Barrel with the horse shoes that you have to figure out how to put together and take apart.

I'm not fond of pink, but Khan loves it.

I like black & white photos.

They don't like to wear clothing, but sometimes we don't always get what we want in this world.

I occasionally like to bake but do it very rarely.

Not into sports.

Um.. nothing I can think of besides catnip filled toys, which are still okay, but I'm trying to make sure they don't become immune.

2- what is your decorating style? I’m not sure I really have one. I just like to surround myself with things that have a sentimental value or that make me smile.

Any colors that you don't like? Not really

What is one thing you absolutely DONT want from your SS? I was going to say I couldn’t think of anything, but I gotta agree with Jaffacake on the no “dirty cat litter”

I'm also allergic to avocados, corn silk, and neoprene, but I can't imagine any sending me any of those things.

We should also include our fav types of movies, music and books!

Movies: Old musicals, romantic comedies
Music: I like pretty much anything…except stuff with really violent messages
Books: I’ll read anything and everything

Do you have pierced ears? Are you allergic to any kinds of metal? Yes and no
Do you like jewerly? What kinds? Yes…all kinds, but mostly earrings, pins, and necklaces
How many animals do you have? What kind (cats, dogs, etc!) Tell us a little about their favorite toys/treats! Three cats. Tailer and Forest love pretty much any kind of treats (especially stinky fishy ones) and interactive toys or balls. Harvey isn’t really into any kind of treats or toys, but he loooooves catnip.

How old are you? (roughly will do fine) 20 yr olds tend to like diff things than 50 yr olds 39

I think it would be helpful to know how many pets you have, their names, and a basic description of them including their likes, dislikes, and potentially even their appearance. If they have a favorite thing.. this is the time to post it.
I just have the three cats:
Tailer likes treats, interactive toys, catnip, and loads of snuggles. The two best things in Tailer’s world are Wildlife Salmon treats and loose catnip on the floor to roll around in. He hates being brushed and closed doors. He’s a big orange tabby cat.
Forest likes ANYTHING…literally. He’s the happiest cat in the world. He has cerebellar hyperplasia, which is kind of like cerebral palsy in humans, but he has no problem with that whatsoever…who cares if he walks funny, he gets there eventually! His favorite food is whatever’s available NOW and he loves puffy balls (especially white ones) and interactive toys. The only thing he doesn’t like is being held or restrained. He's a slightly smaller orange tabby cat.
Harvey’s my old, shy guy. He isn’t really into any kind of treats or toys. He loves catnip, though, and being pet (especially at 3 am). He's a grey tabby with white ascot and "footies" (they're not really full socks).

What are your hobbies?! Scrapbooking when I have a chance. I also have developed an maintain a website for my mom’s rather huge family, which takes up a pretty good chunk of my free time.

Do you like homemade gifts? Yes
If so, what kinds? Any kind…I think it’s neat to see what other people’s talents are!

I have 6 pets (7 if you count my betta!). I have 4 cats and two dogs.
My dogs are:
Fosters (Australian Shepherd) - he loves anything and everything! He lives for doggie treats!

Whiskey (Carolina Dog)- Whiskey is my older guy, he's about 8 yrs old and has some previous dental problems from before we adopted him- so I only give him softer doggie treats.

My cats are: Isabella (odd-eyed Turkish Angora)- She LOVES toy mice!
Velvet (black dsh)- She loves kitty treats!!
Jasmine- (torti-point Color Point / Siamese)- She loves sparkly pom pom balls, food, and anything she can play with!
Kojak (blk/white dsh) -he's soo easy to please! he loves everything!


B]What are your hobbies?! Painting, playing my guitar, floral design, burning candles and taking bubble baths!

Do you like homemade gifts? Yes- i think they're really unique and something heart felt that someone spent a time on -that makes it special!

If so, what kinds? I'm not picky! Whatever someone takes the time to make and personalize shows that it's made with love and that's special to me!
