Cat picture, cat adoption and much more - MyKittyPics.com

I never liked cats. I was always a dog person.

Then when I was in college, three guys I knew (roommates) each brought a kitten home from the same litter. Who doesn't love kittens?

So these three kittens lived in a frat-house type setting, with constant drunk people handling them and girls cooing over them. Then they became cats. The boys didn't want cats. Plus their landlord caught them with pets, and said absolutely not.

So the boys solution was to put the cats outside to live. The cats had never had shots and were not being fed regularly. So my solution was to take them home with me and find them better homes.

It turns out my home was better :)

Then about 2 years later, a co-worker approached me because he knew I had cats, and he and his wife were having trouble with their cat.

Apparantly, their new cat had begun attacking the old cat, and they just didn't know what to do. They had to keep the separated and his wife had been badly scratched trying to do so.

Me, being the brain that I am said, "Oh, she attacks other cats? I'll take her."

Luckily my boys let her know that they would not be bullied, and they all now get along beautifully.

And that's how I became a cat person :)

I have 4 cats as well. I am more of a cat person than a dog person, although I do have 2 dogs that I love very much. All my guys get along fairly well, except for the occaisional scuffle. I have a cat, Grizzabella, who is 16yrs old. She is the picture of health(I get her checked out every 6 months) and still loves to chase around ping pong balls in the middle of the night!

Jynx, is 5 years old. She is my baby. She was born on a farm, but is so affectionate, she walks on a leash and loves to frequent PetSmart! She loves dogs and people and gets very upset if they don't pay attention to her. One time at PetSmart we were saying hello to a gentleman and his puppy when a woman came over and immediately bent to say hi to him, completely ignoring Jynx. So, not wanting to be left out, Jynx jumped on the woman's back and meowed at her. Everyone started cracking up laughing! Unfortunately, my little girly has kidney disease. I hope she lives a long, long time, but we will see. So far so good though. Her bloodwork has remained steady.

My other 2 are brother and sister. Bug & Ramona. They are 4 1/2 yrs old and crazy as ever. When Mona gets excited, she hisses. She just loves to make noise. Especially at feeding time. Bug's name suits him well. He comes up to you at the most inopertune(sp?) times, like when you are taking a drink, and bashes his head lovingly into yours!

They all have their little quirks. I love all of them. I'll get some pics up soon.

Okay, I'll stop rambling now. I could go on and on about my "kids".
