There are some cats at home that don't have problems.
They deserve a space on this site too!

This is Bastet, also called Bast or BastieBast. She was born in early May 1996. Mom got her when she was 6 weeks old. Bast rules the house, and lets everyone know it! I am certain that she intends one day to catch me and swallow me whole.
Mom says that Bast can be snuggly and cute, but I am not so sure! |

This is Ziosurba. Mom got her from the field hospital she volunteered at. It was set up to care for the animals rescued from the flooding of Hurricane Floyd. Zio used to be very shy and often hid when new people were around. Then one day, for no reason Mom could tell, she became very friendly and started saying hello to visitors and even rubbing on them!
She likes to spend most of her time outside in the cat pen, even if it is cold or raining or sleeting. Her fur is so fluffy that mom doesn't think she notices being wet.
She will come inside in a hurry if Mom calls her, because Mom might be giving a treat! Zio is the local vacu-kitty. She hisses a little at new cats, but doesn't really mean it. |
BABY was a bottle baby from 2002 that mom couldn't say goodbye to. He loves to nurse on a hand and expects to be cradled on his back. He loves to be kissed on the head and belly, have his belly rubbed, and snuggle. We often call him our "big fat tub of love"
ENKI was given to mom on Oct 1, 2006 just a day after after we had to say goodbye to Mattie. Mom was at work, at Petsmart, and the manager came over with a lady who had a little black kitten and the kitten's mom. Mom was a shorthair tabby. The woman could only have one cat and did not know what to do. After a discussion about low cost spay neuter programs, mom held the kitten. He put his paws on her face and purred and ended up coming home with her.
ANU is the kitten that us cats invited in. Early in the morning, about 4am, on February 2, Mom heard some mewing in the laundry room. "But I don't have any kittens." she thought. IttyBittyKitty answered and in trotted a little tuxedo kitten! He went right up to IttyBitty, headbonked her, tussled with her, then followed her to the food!
"This isn't your first time here." Mom said. He must have come up on the porch and wiggled through the chainlink of the cat pen.
He gets along well with all the other cats, but is uncertain of Mom much of the time.
