Love cats? Yours as much a source of joy and never-ending
entertainment as mine?
I am owned by a 22lb. red tabby named Tigger who is sure I'm either
his Mother or his woman, and equally sure that the outdoors is Hades
or the like.
I am owned yet again by a petite female named Bijeaux, a tailless,
cross-eyed little black and white cobby who at just the right angle
looks like a little cow. Though typically deferential to the males,
she baits and controls them much more than they realize and thus, in
her own subtle way, rules the roost. I think also that she reaps some
sort of twisted pleasure out of torturing the neighbors, that is, by
ever so nonchalantly prancing about on the window ledge high above the
sidewalk which, as it happens, is within delectable reach of the
ornate header over the building's entryway.
I also, and finally, am owned by a young and exceptionally active/
vocal male angora named Gabriel who counts it his prime mission in
life to retrieve anything that crackles and who is seemingly so aware
of his own beauty that he literally poses whenever the camera goes to
clickin'.
And all this in an apartment in downtown Federal Way, really not much
larger than a two-car garage. Never a dull moment. Pictures
forthcoming. If you're like me, hardly a day goes by that does not
include something in the way of some reportworthy adventure, some
mischief one or the other of these prime critters has gotten into.
I'm sure you have plenty to share of your own cats' misadventures,
curiosities and random acts of uniquely defining behavior.

I love your description of your owners. Are you from Federal Way
Washington? I'm originally from near Spokane. We now live in North
Carolina with our eight feline owners and the d-thing (dog). I'd love
to swap cat stories with you, but my computer is very virus infected
at the moment and I'm not answering personal emails so that I don't
infect others.

Pam anything I can help with. I got a lot of experience with dealing with
infected computers

Welcome to the group! It sounds like you've got a wonderful group of
owners. 22 lbs - Tigger is a large cat!
I'm owned by six fuzzy masters. Cleopatra is an elderly silver-furred
kitty that looks sort of like a persian, and she pretty well rules the
house. She was originally my cat (or should I say I was originally her
human) when my wife and I married. She has now adopted my wife as her
human.
Amelia is a plump, loving tortie who loves to ride on my shoulders while
I"m drying off after a shower. And she's heavy enough that provides some
exercise to me in the process.
Tabitha is a solid black furball, about 6 years old, who didn't used to
like to be petted but us coming to enjoy it now. She and Amelia love to
groom each other, and their grooming sessions always turn into wrestling
matches.
Sammy is an orange tabby boy who was dumped as a kitten. He's quite the
snuggler now.
Harri Roadcat is an orange tabby girl. I drove a semi for a couple years,
and the last 9 months I was on the road Harri road with me. If you Google
for "Harri Roadcat" you can find a lot of the stories I posted about our
adventures.
Finally, Ranger Greykitten (aka Rangemaster, Rangemonster, or the Blanket
Master) is all grey except for a white patch on his chest. He's the
youngest, and the most likely to get into trouble.
They all love to spend time in our fenced back yard, but lately they
haven't been spending as much times outdoors as they used to. It's getting
kind of chilly in central Iowa now!
