Today I was watching my cats play while thinking about what I should blog about and decided they would be as good a subject as any other. I think I should start off by introducing the kitties, I have 7 after all and if you don't know who they all are you could get a bit confused...
Apache is the most beautiful cat I've ever seen. She is a lovely half Siamese calico that we rescued from the alley behind our apartment complex a little more than 2 years ago when she and her brother and sister were just tiny kittens.
Punkin is my little house lion. He's a cute half Siamese red tabby that loves to lay on my chest while I read or watch TV. He will sometimes sit on my lap while I am playing on the PC and is rarely more than 5' away from me at any given time. Punkin loves to give kisses and get scratched under his chin. Apache and Spice are his sisters.
Spice is loving half Siamese seal point. She has the loudest purr I have ever heard in any cat. So loud that she can be across the room from me and I can still often hear her purring over the sound of the TV. She is (was, they're all fixed now except Gizmo and Abby) a good mother to her kittens and she likes having her head petted.
Thiders (aka Tithers) is an American Medium Hair black and white tabby that I kinda stole from a friend of mine. She was asked to watch her for a couple of weeks and couldn't after a few days because of her BFs allergies so she asked me to take her. I agreed and after 2 months of growing attatched to this precious baby I called her and told her she had to pick the cat up in 1 hour or I was keeping her for good...well, here we are 2 years later and she's still with us and I wouldn't give her up for anything. She is very quiet and gentle in nature and she LOVES being petted while she kneads on your tummy.
Gizmo is a black an white American Short Hair. My neighbor brought him to me when he was about 8 weeks old asking me if I could take him in. I told her to leave him with me for a day and I would see. The poor little thing was feral and I decided to re domesticate him and find him a good home. Well, it took the better part of a year to get him used to being around people and by then Sue and I were both so attatched at we couldn't give him up. He is now a fully integrated part of our family and really loves having his chin and jawline scratched while he sits next to you.
Rascal is an American Short Hair black tabby. He spends most of his time lieing on and with the dog. Rascal and his sister, Crookshanks, were dropped off on our doorstep one day and we couldn't just leave them out there, they were so tiny and cute...Crookshanks has since crossed over the rainbow bridge after having a seizure but Rascal is doing quite well. The poor thing does have a Napoleon complex though as he is tiny for a full grown cat. When I brought him to the vet to get fixed they almost didn't do his surgery because they thought he was a kitten until they his teeth. He only weighed 4 lbs. at the time and isn't any bigger now, almost a year later. He's a really loving cat who follows the dog everywhere.
As we don't currently have a camera we don't have a picture of Abby at the moment but she is an American Medium Hair black and white tabby, very similar to Thiders. She is the most loving cat I have ever seen. She constantly wants to have her face next to yours and wants to be petted ALL the time. We got Abby several months ago when our neighbor asked us to take her because they had rescued her from an abusive situation but now they couldn't keep her as his wife was pregnant and they didn't want the cat around the baby. Unfortunately, we are trying to find a new home for Abby as she doesn't get along with the other cats at all. I think she needs to be in a one cat household with someone who will love her as much as we do. Abbys tail is broken in 3 places from her previous abuse but she doesn't seem to notice it much. If you are interested in adopting her and live in the Las Vegas area please leave a comment here or email me and I will get back to you. Giving her up won't be an easy thing and I will be very picky about where she goes, I love my babies and want to make sure that if I have to get rid of any of them that the next people will too.
That's about all for now. I hope you look forward to hearing more about my babies as I am sure I will be posting more about in the future.
Talk to you all soon, and remember,
What Happens In Vegas...
