This is Oscar.
I was with my friend when she adopted him as a kitten. He was the goofiest little thing you've ever seen; he looked like a little lemur with a funny circular gray and black facial pattern. He had a favorite blanket that he liked to knead and suckle on. He was a very sweet...
So, this is Rossi.
Rossi was my first kitty; he was a stray approximately a year old when I found him in 2005. Rossi and I didn't have that much alone time together, as I thought Rossi would like a buddy to play with. Turns out, he didn't. He was irritated by the kitten I brought home, and...
Some pics of Oscar lounging on his daddy. :)
"I'm not sleepy! Look how alert I am!"
"Well...let me just stretch my arms out and relax a bit..."
"Zzzzzzzz..."
So, I bought a house with someone around 12 years ago. A sweet little tuxedo kitty with a funny moustache saunters over into the garage one day, and I take to calling him "Adolf". For obvious reasons, I quickly decide a name change is in order, and decide on calling him Charlie (Chaplin)...
I suppose it began over the Summer when my Prissi had kidney issues; through all of the tests, procedures, prayers, and visits to the vet while she was under their exclusive care, I knew things would never be the same. Though Priss came through this trying time with flying colors, my life and...
Seriously, it really is a friend with the issue. I know how that always sounds/looks. :)
I'll make this brief, because kitty's behavior really isn't my question.
Friend took in stray. Beautiful kitty, Pandora (see below). She moved recently and the behavioral issue she has with her 3 kitty...

I'm not a big reader. Nor am I a good one; I may have to read a passage 3 or 4 times before it "sticks". But I knew I had to read this book when I heard the author interviewed on NPR a few months back.
In short, the true story of a tiger in the Russian Far East that had...
Before I leave most every morning, Tiko likes to remind me how much I'll be missed; demanding that I pick him up and share our special moment. :)
In exchange for putting him down (how dare I!), I told him I'd give him some face-time on the internet today. :)
Sorry if I'm late to the party on this, but check out her love and dedication when it came to finding her lost cat, Cleo. Can't wait to read the book!

For those that don't remember me, here's a few of my kits that may jog your memory...

My latest, Oscar:
After acquiring Oscar (kitty #10, but seriously, he's my last. It was an emergency situation, as he belonged to a friend of mine, and there were...
My babies like to hang around my hockey equipment when it's out (I suspect because of the smell). Despite their propensity to claw things up at times, I can't bear to pull them away from the stuff. :)
Alice thinking about trying my mask on for size (you certainly won't fit all of you in it...
I was originally going to do a play-by-play account of what my Prissi endured two weeks ago today, but it struck me as internet-melodramatic (not to mention that the past two weeks have been somewhat of a blur), so I'm going to try to get to the crux of things as quickly as possible. Though I'm...
