Compliments of [livejournal.com profile] fornorald, the photographer, and [livejournal.com profile] tbrents, the web hoster. *blowing kisses, and whatnot* ;)

Here it is, at long last... You know you've wanted it... Feast your eyes upon......




Note: It seems that the description option it gives you doesn't show up as text, but as popups if you hover your mouse over the picture. Enjoy!


This is Neg.  He's the oldest of my cats; I think he'll be 11 this year, on November 30.  He's my ambassador, the one who shows all new cats the ropes.  He's also gay.  He had a brother, Mika, who looked very much like him, but Mika was scared to death (literally) by a rottweiler about 8 years ago.  Neg is my favorite, and loves to have his tummy rubbed, which is kinda unusual for a cat.




This is Loki.  She (yes, she... can't help it... the name just stuck) is the next oldest, and is about 8 or 9, don't remember which.  I've deemed her birthday to be April 1, which is pretty close, according to the vet, but she was a stray when I got her as a kitten, so I don't really know.  She's finicky, very affectionate, and loves to play in my hair, where she'll milk tread and drool for just about as long as I'll let her.  She's also, unfortunately, not always perfect about using the litter box.  I almost had her put to sleep for it, but thought better of it.  I'm glad I didn't.  For all her faults, she's a joy.




This is Whimsy.  She was born in the wall of a house I was renting.  We kept her and Smithers (below) and found homes for the other kittens and the mother.  She's very much a princess.  She decides whether or not you're good enough to touch her, and she decides every time; just 'cause it was OK yesterday, doesn't mean you're worthy the next day.  However, once you've been let into her little circle, she's very affectionate.  She actually likes people a lot better now than she did 3 years ago.  She'll eat just about anything you put in front of her.  She was born on the spring equinox (we know, 'cause we heard them being born, even though we didn't realize what it was until later).  She's 6 years old.






This is Smithers, Whimsy's littermate.  He's the biggest of my cats, and you can see the muscles rippling when he walks.  He's also the most timid, and very much of a Mama's Boy.  He's very sweet, though, and milk treads the air when you pet him.  He's kinda neurotic, though.




This is Murke.  My husband refers to him as the drunken frat brother.  He loves you.  He doesn't care who you are or what you're doing, he loves you.  He purrs just about constantly, and will happily allow himself to be used as a pillow.  He's the most affectionate of my cats, and generally the one that guests choose as their favorite.  I've never made up a birthday for him, but he's about 4 years old.  He's the only cat I have that was a year old when I got him.




This is Ashira.  She just turned 2 in June (I haven't picked a birthday for her, either).  She's practically feral, even after having been with us almost two years.  I wish I knew what had happened to her when she was young to make her fear humans so much.  She just loves the other cats, though.  At this point, she'll come when you call her about 60% of the time, and will allow herself to be petted a little when she does come.  She was actually doing better than this when we moved, but, like all the cats, she's adjusting to the new house, and the new people.



This is Meau.  He actually belongs to our housemates, but I thought I'd add him.  He's pretty laid back and sweet.  We're having trouble getting them to all get along.  I don't know how old he is, but I think he's about 3.





There you have it, folks! I've talked about them for years, and now you get to see them for

yourselves!!! :)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled not-as-cute-ness.

Yeah, I'll admit, I love Murke, and not because he's an attention slut, but because he is one beautiful cat, of course, they all are really, but I've always been partial to smoky gray cats. I think Ashira is gorgeous too, and Whimsy. But the yummiest of them all, is E...LOL *faints* *giggles*


Enough being silly now :)
