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.
