catsAlright, 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?
This was the kittens before their eyes had opened:
Herman:
Lily-moo:
The kittens together:
And my beloved Cranberry:
So. Those are my cats :)
Show me yours!

Heh...they're named after the Munsters.
Lily appears to be a lynx point siamese and Herman appears to be balinese. I have a seal point siamese myself (Sammy) and a roly-poly insane calico (Callie). They are both shelter adoptees so they were already named when we got them.

Date: 2009-05-03 01:45 pm (UTC)We considered choosing a "simpler" name, bc at the time my 4.5 yr old daughter stumbled over enunciating "Cranberry," but she shortened it to "Cran" and it seemed to suit him and, like fizzgig's, he seemed to know it.

Oh, i love forward to seeing pictures, especially of the fat one. Calico's are beautiful, and my husband says I fattened up our cat.
That's awesome that yours are shelter cats! We got Cranberry from a breeder, and she named all the kittens in every litter. Cranberry's brothers and sisters were all different berries: Blueberry, Strawberry, Blackberry, etc.
