    And what about Aura? You left my little princess out!

    Who can forget aura? She makes sure no one forgets her.

    For the past few weeks, she's been trying to climb up doorways, or something. She'll be sitting there, then, all of a sudden, she's jumping up and 'hugging' the doorway. It's amusing, to say the least.

    Oh, I like her too! :o

    I didn't realise hheath.. I thought mop was female :confused: Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye for Spot then, not patting after a shower ;)

    yep, my kitties came color-coded. Black and white for the boys, and tortie for the girls ^_^

    The tortie isn't one of the colour mixes I like, sorry :o I prefer plain ones, or spotted, or like tabby cats, having random short horizontal bands and things like that.

    I like them all, as long as they are someone else's!

    I just love cats. I will call the rattiest, mangiest looking cat to me so I can scratch it's ears. It's not their fault no one takes care of them. All kitties deserve love.

    The only problem, is that I often get cats that try to follow me home.

    I have to share this, because I find it amusing for some twisted reason. Spot's balls are even two-toned. He has one black ball and one one ball.

    Alty

    TMI about Spots balls! ;)

    I'm still partial to Zoe and Alty cat, because of the coloring.

    Wait---I missed something somewhere.

    Where's Mop?

    He got adopted the end of last week. He's the only cat in a house with 3 kids, but I don't think it'll bother him any. He's the only one I could see handling be an only cat or around young kids.

    Aura looks like such a lady.

    Spot is his usual handsome self.
  • Jun 14, 2010, 10:42 PM
    hheath541

    Spot is a trip.

    Aura is a princess.

    Alty-cat is a little kid.

    Zoe thinks she's bigger and more grown up than she is.

    Unky is thoughtful and quiet and shy.


    I know you can't really tell from the pics, but alty-cat is about half the size of spot. Spot is already a little more than half edith's size.

    I think his size makes edith forget that he's a baby, and she sometimes plays a bit too rough. He cries and I have to remind her that he's a baby and she needs to be gentle. She stops, spot gets up and runs off, and she chases him and bowls him over again.

    Spot gets a little rough with alty sometimes, for the same reason. He doesn't realize he's so much bigger than her. I can usually distract him pretty easily. Either that, or zoe comes along and he goes after her.

    One of the funniest thing I think I have ever seen was when spot and alty decided to charge each other at the same time. They both jumped and ended up colliding mid-air. Alty hung on after they landed. Spot wasn't quite sure what just happened.

    I think I forgot Zoe last time... I like her too :D

    Strange, I feel like aura is taking the same posture in each photo :p

    She pretty much is. I think it's her diva pose.

    I think I'm falling for Spot now too.

    He is turning into quite the looker. Just wait until he gets his adult coat in and he's REALLY fluffy.

    Well, at least one has gotten adopted at this point. Some step of progress. :-)

    I once had an adult cat and got a new kitten into the house, and I was a bit concerned about the huge difference in size. But I just left them alone and they got it all worked out. The kitten could stand up to it pretty well. (Though he grew up to be a very shy, non-aggressive cat.)

    I'm guessing hheath's hard at work across the street, so we will have to be patient. Tonight, tonight!!

    She should stop playing with her nipples and show us pictures of her p... cats :D

    Actually, two of them have been adopted. Mop and aura both found homes. I'm hoping to find alty and unky a home together.

    I'll try to get pics up tonight. The kids are just getting their evening energy out. Once they settle down a bit, I'll be able to take pictures.

    Who got aura? The old gang is breaking up!

    One of my coworkers adopted aura for her mom. She's doing good. She's the only indoor cat, but they have 6 rat terriers and a lab. She wasn't sure about the lab at first, but she warmed right up to the people and smaller dogs.
  • Jun 21, 2010, 11:20 PM
    Alty

    You do realize that when M hears that Aura has a lab friend, he's going to make a comment about a tasty kitty snack. ;)
  • Jun 21, 2010, 11:51 PM

    He'll have to get through the rat terriers, first.

    Lol unky and edith are doing the same pose, as if they wernt similar enough :D, just in a reflected pose of each other.

    I keep showing the pics to my hubby, hoping he will relent and let me have one.

    No luck :(

    I think he'd want either Alty or Zoe, though--he loves the torties.

    I'm more and more partial to Spot, personally
  • Jun 23, 2010, 11:17 AM
    hheath541

    It's hard to believe that just 3 months ago, I could almost fit all of them in one hand. They're not kittens anymore. They're little cats.

    Synn, take Alty, just think about it. An Alty pussycat for you to love. It's perfect! :)

    The only ones who need homes are alty and unky. I'm hoping they can go together.

    Oh, and aura is doing good. She was renamed 'skittish.' her and the black lab are great friends. She follows him around and sleeps curled up with him.

    How Aura doing with the litter box? Any reports?
