Here's some photos of cats. Please
send yours in too!! I've had many
cats throughout my life, and can't really remember a time when I
was without one. While I love all animals, I think I've always
been a cat person - you either are or aren't one, I've found!! I
have cats adopt me - they move into the back yard and pester me
until I give in and feed them too!! I had 4 pedigreed cats
- Shah, Sasha, Chrissie and Tuppy who lived inside and
still have one
outside adopted cat name Smoocher because that's what he does
all the time! The inside cats were 17, 18 and 19 years old when
they finally passed away, I'm not sure how old the outside one is
but he is a lot younger I think. Tuppy was Shah's and Chrissy's
mother but Chrissy had to be put down as
she had a fit and was paralysed from it. She was also blind and
Shah was blind in one eye - a result of the cat flu when they
were babies which claimed the other 3 kittens from their litter.
A breeding experiment that cost me thousands of dollars trying
to save them and meant that I couldn't sell the remaining two
because of their eyes and ended up with 4 long haired cats
living inside! A lot of work and as you can see, a long term
commitment!! RIP - Sasha and Shah - sadly over
the last month both Shah and Sasha have succumbed to old age and
have gone to join Chrissie and Tuppy!! It's a lonely house now
but I don't think I'll be getting any more cats for a while!!

This is
Snow, my daughter and son in law's Ragdoll. |
Poor Snow
went in for a teeth clean and ended up having eye
surgery as well!! |

This is
Smoocher, who rules outside. He moved in when the dog
died and loves having his tummy rubbed! |
This is
Tuppy, doesn't she look really evil with those red eyes!
She was caged until we got her at around 9 months and
has always been a bit strange. |

This is
poor old Chrissy, she didn't have much of a life as she
couldn't see much but loved sitting on the back door
mat. She lived to 17 years. |
This is
Aunty Sasha - she was the first Birman I bought and had
a lovely nature. She lived to 19 years as did Tuppy. |

This is
Shah who ruled the inside roost. As the only male he was
demanding and very affectionate. You can see his one eye
glowing!! |
Shah was
the only seal point of the litter as well. He lived to 18
years and still loved to sleep on my lap every
night. |

Cat on a hot tin roof!! This is
one of my visitors who was as deaf as a post but loved sunbaking
on the roof of my carport. |
This is Frankie, a
beautiful affectionate Siamese who moved in as
well. I found him a good home with some friends where he
could rule the roost. Sadly he passed away. |
