I know, I'm brand new and already posting like a drunken Facebooker, thanks for putting up with me lol.

We've got one cat, although my wife's roommate's cat might as well be one of ours, since we got it for her and she's always gone.

Our cat is a traditional Persian (as in she actually has a muzzle, unlike your stereotypical flat-faced Persians) named Meow Meow, we got her when she was just a little kitten. My wife is all about kitties. If it has to do with cats, she loves it automatically.

Meow Meow's a spoiled little fluffball, but we love her and she loves us. She's quite literally bright-eyed and bushytailed, and mischevious as all get up. She's broken about half of my wife's Earthly possessions so far, and she's only one and a half years old lol.

Oh, and she's weird. Here's her sleeping lol:

And her hanging out in her Fortress of Solitude:

My kitty was found by one of my co-workers when he was out running for PT on a very cold Canadian winter’s day. He brought her into work because he lived in barracks and I was lucky enough to get to keep her. She doesn’t care for men but she loves hubby :)

I’d post her picture but I’m not sure how.

Ok I'm going to try to link a picture. This is Murry and Macey, two of my daughter's cats. They lived with me when she lived in Australia for 6 years. They are now reunited with her in California. Murry is the tan one and Macey is the brown one. murry_macey.jpg

Darn it was supposed to be bigger :wacko:

Let me try again

My poor Molly has a slight respiratory infection and ear mites. :( Clearly she wasn't being all that well taken care of. She's been on meds since Wednesday, though and I already see much improvement.

I am sitting here with a heavily pregnant foster cat on my chest, and I can feel the kittens moving inside of her. Now I know what my husband meant when he said it was kind of weird, having his hand on my tummy when I was pregnant and the babies moved. Kittens should be born by Valentine's Day... I guess I'll have to name one of them Valentine, or maybe choose different love Gods and Goddesses names.

Ha! I used to have a cat that liked sleeping in the washing machine and perch on top of door frames too. Always freaked out visitors.

How sweet! Your Meow Meow looks almost like Sophie, the coloring is exactly the same! I was told it's called dilute tortie, meaning diluted tortoise shell.

Oh....the cat carrier.....Sophie HATES and FEARS it. If I so much as touched it she was gone. Later I will post some pictures of how my older daughter and I drove the cats to California to live with my younger daughter, their first kitty mommy. I was foster kitty mommy while my daughter lived in Australia for 7 years. When she came back she got married and flew to California. Flying 3 cats and an old dog was not an option, so we made a road trip....Chicago area to northern California. And we included all her stuff :lol:

I am sitting here with a heavily pregnant foster cat on my chest, and I can feel the kittens moving inside of her. Now I know what my husband meant when he said it was kind of weird, having his hand on my tummy when I was pregnant and the babies moved. Kittens should be born by Valentine's Day... I guess I'll have to name one of them Valentine, or maybe choose different love Gods and Goddesses names.

My vote is for one of the kittens to be called Cupid :)(L)
