Here are some pictures of our furry family members.  Sharing our home with these wonderful cats is very enriching, satisfying, and just plain fun!!

 

 

 

This is Mario, our "senior."  He is 9 years old, a big, big boy at 16 lbs, and super affectionate and playful.  He is named after Super Mario of Nintendo fame.
This is Zen.  He is very "Zen" in that he lives in the moment...a very happy-go-lucky, lovey-dovey little guy who can jump higher than any cat I've ever seen.  Zen, Petey, and Noah are all from the same litter, and they are just over 1 year old - still very, VERY kitten-like in behavior!

 

 

 

 

Petey is a little fluffball of love - he his just so sweet and innocent! He is named after another (milder) obsession - our PT Cruisers (yes, that is plural...we have two PT Cruisers - three if you count the furry version, Petey!)

 

 

 
Noah's namesake is the gentleman who built the Ark.  As you can see by where he decided the most appropriate place for a nap is, he is both very impish and very sweet.

 

 

This is our first little girl cat, Frankie.  Frankie had a very difficult start in life; when she was 3 weeks old (long before she came into our lives) she had a very serious eye infection that almost caused her to lose her sight.  At one point the infection was so severe, removing one of her eyes and euthanizing her were both considered.  However, she beat the odds and pulled through with about 70% of her sight intact.  When she was well enough to be put up for adoption, she was passed over many times because of her eye damage; however, when we saw her sweet little face we could not resist her!  She is so full of spunk and love for life - she really completes our home.

 
This is Trixie.  To make a very long story short, Trixie showed up on our back porch as a starving stray - she weighed only 4.5 lbs when she should have really weighed 8 lbs!  Trixie was very scared of us, so the only way we could rescue her and save her from starvation was to catch her in a Have-a-Heart trap.  It was very heart-wrenching to see her in the trap, but she is now indoors with us, at a good weight, and never has to worry about being cold or hungry again!  Despite her fearful early days on our back porch, Trixie has blossomed into a super-friendly, super-cuddley, super-playful little cat!

 

 

This is our Mr. Kitty.  Sadly, when he was just 12 years old, Mr. K lost his battle with feline lymphoma on December 25, 2002, despite putting up an incredible fight against this nasty disease.  We will always miss Mr. Kitty.
