Bah, my cat is going to be eight next Wednesday.

<.<;. He's oooold. Not too old though. But I remember when he was not even a year old.

We pretty much have grown up together. Since I was little, he's always been there. O.o;.

When I went to the SPCA to get a cat, I had no idea I'd get him. xD. I wanted a CALICO or a TABBY. Haha. And I wanted a girl cat. (I was one of those kids that identified cats as girls and dogs as boys. O.o;). When we got inside my mom was like. Okay. Pick your cat out. So I looked at BUNCHES of cats and eventually there was a little grey tabby kitten female that I LOVED. I played with her for a LONG time. Her name was Julie. She was gentle and playful and cute and healthy and affectionate. =). Even for a little kitten. My mom figured I wanted her, and I thought I did, too.

But I decided to go back into the room with the 'big cats' again, and looked this big black cat in the eyes. Earlier I had taken him out and held him and he clawed my back. <.<; But I asked to see him again and held him and put my head against his waaarm furry body and erm. Yeah. That was it. He was mine. :3. I can't remember an experience I had that was more like... fuzzy and warm than that. Haha.





He's gotten bigger and a little plumper since then but he's still my kitten. 

He curls up in bed with me EVERY night and usually lets me lay on his stomach and use him as a pillow. He chases after invisible bugs! He grooms my rats!

He's a good kitty. :3. Just letting everyone know. Haha.

Please post photos of your cat grooming your rats! Seriously, I need to remind myself that it's still a crazy world, and anything is possible

I promise that the next time he does it I'll grab my camera and take some pictures for you.

He looks exactally like a cat that I had.

 My cats name was Blackie and he loved everyone except my sister, her hubby and their 2 daughters. Don't know what it was about them but he would attack their ankles and hiss at them everytime they came around.

It scared the shit out of them but i thought it was funny..especially my brother in law....LOL

What an original name.   

My cat's name is Zachary Binx after the cat in the Disney movie Hocus Pocus.

Again. I was little.

[Teresa]

Yeah i know...LOL..

My kids named him. They were around 4 and 6 years old when we got him.

Gee, I've completely forgotten how old Baby, my black cat, is, but he must have been born in 2000 or 2001.  He's the 3rd oldest of my 12 cats -- Dottie comes in first at 9 years old, Baby is about 5 or 6, Minnie is 5, Kinky is 4, Bootsy is about 7 (she was an adult when I adopted her), Biddie is 3, Sookie and Rusty are about 1 year old, and Zippy, Pinky, Itchy, and Scratchy will be 3 months on September 6.

Buddy is my oldest dog at 15, Teddy is next at about 9-10 (another adult when he entered the clan), Gracie is 8, and Boo (Boo Radlley, actually) is 3.  Carmen, the boxer who lives with my current houseguest, is 10, and today I picked up Jack, who is 2 and will be staying with us until we find him a permanent home. 

Except for the 4 kittens (an unexpected and unplanned pregnancy on the part of Sookie, who came into the house in late April and gave birth June 6 -- my 06/06/06 kittens, all males, all very bad!) everyone has come from the streets.  Luckily I've been doing a lot of volunteer work with Animal Rescue New Orleans http://www.ar-no.org this last year so I get to see and interact with a lot more animals than I could adopt.
