Just look at that face! Does this not look like the face of an alien kitty? Bitsy has such breadth between the eyes and such a triangular head, that I just can’t deny his otherworldly appearance. And there is nothing in his behavior to contradict my suspicion. We first met Bitsy when we were left…
He’s really not as tough as he looks; he just thinks he’s as tough as he looks! Billy is one of two half-brothers (the other being Bitsy) whom we adopted as adults a couple of years ago. Their elderly caretakers had both passed away, leaving a home with two small dogs and six cats without their people. Billy’s…
Yes, you’re looking at a bit of a weight problem here. Actually, BooBoo is most definitely her mother’s daughter, almost identical in all physical aspects: size, weight, conformation, facial expressions, and even the habit of lying down on my hand and rolling over when I rub her belly. Both mother and daughter are grey-striped, short-haired…
Pretty is one of the babies. She is the sister of Lamie and BooBoo, and cousin of Noddy and Capri. As you can see, she is a most glamorous girl – long, sleek black coat with a tiny white embellishment on her chest. She also has a small white bikini bottom on her lower belly, but she rarely lets anyone but those…
Lamie is a mix of opposites–a paradox if you will. She is one tough chick and will stand up to almost anyone and anything … anything with four legs, that is. But she’s also the most physically vulnerable of the family felines. This little girl had a hard start. Being one of the babies, Lamie suffered…
Capri is our little monkey boy. He simply can not stay out of trouble. If there is something to get into, something to explore, or some activity to interrupt, it is his mission in life to do so. But it was not always so. He was one of the unfortunate babies who lost his mother tragically when…
Noddy is another of the babies, now fully mature and assuming his rightful place as the household Lion King. After all, who’s going to argue with a 19 lb. (and still growing) lunker with numerous extra toes and claws and the agility of a … cat? Not that he’s an aggressive beast. In fact, he’s quite the…
BooBoo and her cousin, Noddy, enjoy a quiet snuggle. The babies came into our lives in a most tragic way. An acquaintance had been going through a very rough period and had expressed suicidal intentions several weeks earlier. He had asked me to take his animals in the event he was no longer around to do the…
The adolescent, orange-flecked, grey kitten just appeared at the stable one day. There were no litters her age on the premises, implying that she had been dropped off and abandoned by some uncaring previous owner. She was a conspicuous presence every day I arrived at the barn to spend time with Albert. She demonstrated a fearlessness…
