intro

I just wanted to say Hey!

A few things this comm is NOT:

• an lolcat lounge.  i can haz cheeseburger, but i prefer it on a feed.  Keep LOLcats to a minimum.
• a drama lounge!  unless someone is putting their cat in harm, treat other owners/humans with respect.
• a fashion show!  if you're only here to say "my cat is prettier than yours," maybe you should start an America's Next Top Cat Model community.

By all means, include pictures of your kitties in your posts.  I just ask if there's more than one, to put it behind a cut.

Thanks!
I'll make an intro for myself in the morning.

Let's do this right

Alright, so, I'm your Moderator.
I'm a wife and mom to two, almost 27 years old, a writer, roleplayer, yadda yadda.

I used to have a cat, when i was a kid, named Jasper. He was an orange tabby, and that's where my love-affair with orange cats began. Jasper lived to be about 19 years old, before succumbing to complications brought on by FIP.

My current cat's name is Cranberry. Actually, i have 3 cats, but Cranberry is my baby. We adopted him on 11.19.07.

Sharing living quarters with Cranberry are our two new additions: Lily and Herman.
Brownies if you tell me their namesake.

Lily belongs to my 6 yr old daughter, and Herman is my husband's favourite.

These two are three months old, and were abandoned by their mother at my husbands' work during a freezing spell. Being the big hearted lug that he is, he brought Lily home one night, and Herman home the next. They were less than a week old at the time, so i bottle-fed them round the clock, along with taking care of my then 5-month-old daughter.

Cranberry is your basic orange tabby shorthair (*squee!*) He tolerates the kittens only because he must if he wants to be fed at night ;)

The kittens, well, their lineage seems more exciting. Lily was almost snow-white when we rescued her, but now has grey stripes on her legs and tail, and that classic tabby "M" on her forehead. She's also shorthair.

Herman is longhair, charcoal grey, with seal-point siamese-style dark ears and paws. Any idea what breed he might be showing?

So. Those are my cats :)

Show me yours!

My boys

Hi! I'm Kaji, and I've had cats all my life. I adore Siamese, as they have been a constant in my family. Believe it or not, most of them have been rescue cats -- our local animal shelter calls my parents first when they get a Siamese in. My boys, Tristan and Galahad, are not Siamese, but I love them just as much. I love all cats!
