By way of proper introduction here are my cats:
Lupus - Mar 1998 - one of 2 alpha males. Lupus is brain-damaged, partially blind after a ladder fell on his head at 15 weeks old. very talkative and extremely affectionate. he's my sweetie pie and spends most of his time at home :wub:
Jack - 1 Dec 1999 - the other alpha male. Jack is a proper alpha, out all day, always coming home with bites and scratches. he tolerates the females but woe betide any of the boys if they go near him. he loves the dogs though
Milky way and Andromeda - Dec 2003 -aka Milky and Andy, littermates. my contrary nature lead me to name the black male Milky and the female Andy :lol: . Milky is practising to be alpha male but still behaves like an adolescent. Milky's pet name is Pubes as he has white hairs everywhere a man has pubes
. Andy is very maternal, although all of my animals have been done, she mothers any and all kittens that happen to find their way here. she's also very fat . they are both much bigger than that picture now.
Shenzy - Oct 2004 -named after the female hyena in the lion king. i couldnt have chosen a better name for her. she's mean. if she'd been born a big cat she would not be part of a pride. apart from Andy, who Shenzy considers mum (Andy lets her suckle even though she's never had a litter), she barely tolerates everybody else. that includes the "2 legs". you have to ensure that you feet are covered all night else she'll bite, for no apparent reason other than she likes to
as a kitten she was deceptively beautiful and so here's another of her
so "chócolate box" but so evil
Oliver Broadtail, Edwina Longfoot and Jemima Spider - Jan 2005 -littermates, aka Ollie the wally, Teddy Bear and Jimmy Love. these 3 are absolute darlings. i only wanted the boy but when i got there he'd gone and only the 2 girls were left. Teddy broke her leg at 15 weeks but shes fine now. she is the stupidest cat, wants to be carried around everywhere, cradled like a baby :lol: Jimmy is a loner, but not quite a nomad like Shenzy, she loves her sister and Andy as both let her suckle.
when i picked the girls up after they were spayed the vet asked if i wanted another one. i laughed as i already had 9 but when he explained i realised that it was the brother that i'd missed out on so i said yes
. i'm glad i did, Ollie is a nutcase, pure adolescent male, makes me laugh all the time
Dennis the Paint - Feb - 2006 -named after my dad who's a painter
, his tail looks like it's been dipped in white paint (the cat, not my dad
). he, (the cat), is aka menace, or man-boobs on account of his hangy belly
Socks - June 2006 - Rescue kitten, unwanted after her owners decided they wanted a staffy pup. the pup was rehoused before it was 6 months old, i hate people like that. Socks is a lovely girl, very playful and seems to come from nowhere to attach herself to your ankle.
Sam 2007 -
Sam became homeless when his owner moved to a static site (trailer park) that didnt allow pets. i tried to say no but in the end i caved. i'm glad i did, hes very affectionate, loves a cuddle.
and Merlin (black) and Mouse (black and white). 2008 -
Mouse was very poorly when he came to me, very anaemic and had serious stomach problems. he was 5 weeks old and had been away from his mum for a week
. i removed over 60 fleas from him the first night. after 24 hours of plain chicken meals he started to pick up. he's used a lot of lives up in his 16 weeks of life. he's fallen down the toilet, he's fallen into the chip pan and inhaled oil. he went into shock after the chip pan incident but hes a fighter. he's very small for his age. Merlin was found on bonfire night, alone near the woods. he was a well looked after, nice looking cat so i thought he'd be claimed after i put notices up about him but sadly nobody came for him. he's a nice cat, around 5 months old but he's definitely the last.
