Larin says,

"Roxanne is a 10 year old Maine Coone who loves to watch her pet betta fish, Eddy. She also loves her daily bowl of milk and in general is the queen of the house here in Seattle! Her favorite toy is the squeaky mouse she got for christmas a couple years ago, and oh, yeah, she LOVES a party and to shop at PetSmart!"

Carolyn's kitty's "Shaq and Penny"

Hi, We are Shaquille and Penny respectively. No, not brothers, just look alike. We have a younger adopted sister who is the same color but has that long hair that gets stuck in the throat. Shes cool though. Me, Shaq being the oldest of the two of us at 10 yrs old, has been with Penny who is 8 yrs old for most of my life. I'm the one with the goatee. We live in the house all the time, and our people work, but we don't get lonely, we have each other. We sleep together and eat together, and wrestle together too. I don't wrestle too much anymore, as I have diabetes and I get tired. My best person friend just found out not too long ago. She is doing really good at making me feel good with a needle, which I don't like but I feel much better after she uses it. She also feeds me lots of good dry food just for my condition. My brother and sister don't eat it much, but I can't jump up to where theirs is cause I have neuropathy from the illness so I just eat my own like I should. I love my family and brother and sister. I like to wash them and sleep cuddled up to Penny. Penny is different than me. He likes to run and chase my sister Princess Ebby, my person friend calls her "Poo Poo". What a silly name. Shes just a kid at 1 1/2 yrs old. She is always wanting to play. I am too tired anymore. I let Penny do that. "Poo" has a thing for cue tips. She finds them and throws them in the air. Our person friend thought of a neat toy by putting a cue tip on the end of a long fishing line and she just goes ballistic trying to catch it. Penny does too. I like it too if she dangles it in front of me. It is really fun to play with. Poo crys all the time to play, sometimes gets on my nerves. Thats my family.......I sure love them. My people family, Penny and "Poo Poo".



This is Deb's "Sabrina"

Deb writes,

"This is our Sabrina, who is about 15. She came with our house. We have had her about 10 years. She is now mostly indoors, but in her prime was a great mouser, birder, and rat catcher! She is tiny, a little less than 8 lbs, with the cutest, most petite meow."



This is JJ's "Grandpa Putty"

JJ writes,
"Attached you will find one of my favorite pix of grandpa. He looks so skinny. In this pix he was 3.5lbs. Now with thyroid meds and constant hugs and kisses he's gained weight and is now a whopping 5lbs. Yippee.
A year ago I thought I was loosing him but he was put on meds and is constantly monitored. His kidneys even righted themselves from acute onset kidney failure. There is no sign at this point of kidney failure according to his bloodwork.
Keep us in your prayers.
He loves to sit in my arms like a baby and when I wrap him in his papoose for his medication, he looks up at me with his big yellow eyes. He knows all I do, I do with love for him."
