She sadly lost her brother (yep, Hansel) about 2 years ago and does her best to put on a brave face. She is kind and sweet but quite the grumpy old lady to younger felines. LOL!!<br />2. Ginger - she is a 10yo orange tabby that spends most of her time quite plump (20lbs?! ) Her ideal weight should be closer to 13ish. She is kind and sweet and loves attention.<br />3. Velvet-she is a 8yo black/white DSH who loves to hang out and observe what others are doing. She loves her people. Loves to sit next to them and be with them. But......no petting please.<br />4. Andre- he is a 9yo tuxedo with an excessive amount of personality. He is more dog-like than any cat I've met. He recently won a "dog" costume class as pirate Andre. He sat perkily at the helm aboard his Jolly Rodger while the dogs ran around him. He is such a good sport.<br />5. Piper-our newest addition. He is a 10 week old tabby cat rescued from inside a pipe at a local farm. He is full of energy and terrorizes his older siblings. He is become fast friends with our Golden. <br />Makirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671959954523118954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-22835673625341312102021-10-27T15:22:54.319-07:002021-10-27T15:22:54.319-07:00OK let's see...We had Sherry growing up - he w...OK let's see...We had Sherry growing up - he was a grey/white boy, but with slightly more random markings than a tuxedo. <br />When I turned about 19 I had my dream of a persian. A Tortoiseshell called Jasmine (Jazzy) and by far the smartest cat we've had. To cut a very long story short Jazzy had two babies: Fossett (Fossy) our mini house panther and Kuching (Kutchy) a black and white Tuxedo. All in memoriam by now. 😭<br />Our current crew consists of Ophelia (PhiPha or Pheephs) who is a long haired torbie and Fitzwilliam (Fitz or Fitzy) a grey Tuxedo. I like to think of grey tuxies as wearing morning suits!

His name was midnight and he was all black. He got run over and from then on we had every animal except another cat. I tended to pick up all kinds of strays and mama let me keep a lot.

We still have these babies. ...Here is my roll call.<br />We still have these babies. Ralphie, our little Red Tabby, and our little scamp. He loves to greet visitors and keeps us entertained and on our toes! Mily, our little three legged Tortishell, who came here hurt and had to have her leg removed, but does just fine. She is like me and hates to be cold. She has the true Torti attitude, and loves a warm lap, when SHE chooses! P.J., our most senior kitty and my sweet black bear! He is getting fussier at times, but loves getting pets and sugar, and is a real sweetheart! And Leo, our Swirly Tabby, who loves to snuggle when we sleep and can tell when his Mommy needs extra love or is stressed or upset. Then we have two visitors. The first one we call Tux (used to call him Meow Meow Meow, but decided it was long long and silly a name! lol..) He is on the wild side. He is a fussy britches, but loves to be talked to and get some pets. Have treated him for worms and feeding him well. He is a Tuxedo cat with a white heart on his chest; a very pretty cat, but he fusses a lot! Hopefully, one day we can get him neutered. Him and Leo do not get along well. Lots of dirty talk and close calls with the two of them. He beat Leo up once, and Leo has not forgotten it! He plots his revenge. The last visitor is Nipsy. She is actually our neighbors cat, but stays with us sometimes. She is a black little girl, and has attitude for days! She is a sweet kitty though. We have spoken with her owner, and they are fine with her staying with us when she wants. We have gotten all of them fixed except Tux. Maybe one day. Life with these little stinkers makes life interesting!Catnip and Kitty Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09796898967222352259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-59299009088290881952021-10-26T02:46:23.118-07:002021-10-26T02:46:23.118-07:00Well I knew this was going to be hard. So sorry ab...Well I knew this was going to be hard. So sorry about your precious Perdita, Janis. Sometimes the kitties with health problems make the nicest pets. I enjoyed reading about all of your kitties, so interesting how they are all so different personality-wise. I like how you have a kitty named Brian (hubby's name), had to chuckle about that. <br /><br />Well here goes, we just have one kitty remaining - Honeydew, who just turned 17 last month. He has thyroid disease and diabetes. We give him insulin shots twice daily, which strangely he seems to enjoy and look forward to, and his thyroid is beautifully controlled by a vet-prescribed food called Y/D. That's all he is permitted to eat, only Y/D, but it comes in canned and dry so he has a variety and really enjoys it as evidenced by his 17-lb weight. <br /><br />Sadly we lost Kiwi last November (Honeydew's littermate) and then our sweet Snowie in February of this year. Brian and I still talk about both kitties every day and they have a special place in our hearts. <br /><br />I also had a kitty called Muffin and he was a very special boy, stuck to me like glue, and he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2004 at the age of 18. Still very deep in my heart though. <br /><br />So glad you were well enough to get the Hop going this year, Janis, despite losing a month to Covid. Thank you for being so organized and having things done ahead of time! And thank you to the very generous sponsors!

Thanks to the lovely ladies who stepped in to help with the hop! You have an amazing array of generous sponsors!<br />Sadly, my beautiful boy, Casey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge in June this year. He was 17 and so quite a good age, but that of course didn't make it any easier. We miss him every day - we still expect to see him in his favourite spots and I swear that some days we actually hear him meowing. He gave the best cuddles and head butts and was such a sweet soul. He may be gone, but will never be forgotten. It is too soon for us to be considering a new kitty. <br />Looking forward to seeing everyone's projects this week :)Carole Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963708833497131161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2937780407413119045.post-13671261274050304752021-10-25T13:47:54.075-07:002021-10-25T13:47:54.075-07:00Thanks to all the generous sponsors!

Mocha Latte re-homed herself last year when we moved four blocks. She wanted to be back down the street with her BFF, Keech, so Keech's owners said they would take her. <3 Our nine outdoor kitties are Spot, Mama, Creamsicle, Puffy, Khaki, Levi, Flutterby, and two unnamed that just arrived this morning, brought to us by a cashier at our local grocery store. Somebody dropped them off on her porch... so of course we took them. :) Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815985871986450885noreply@blogger.com
