Let's do this right

[cranberry]

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?


This was the kittens before their eyes had opened:

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.

Cute! :] I have to show some pictures of my two, but it's hard to get them to sit still within a foot of each other for more than a minute.

Aw, they are all adorable. I love orange kitties, I have one, too.

They are adorable :D

I have 2 kittehs now. Marvin is a grey, black, and gold tabby that we adopted from the Humane society in February when he was about 6 months old. We adopted our second, Pixel, this past week. She is all black and 2 months old. I don't have pictures around at the moment, but eventually I will make a post!

Has Cranberry been made into a lolcat? It seems like I've seen the first picture of him before elsewhere on the internet. I suppose it could be that he gives off the "make me a lolcat, I deserve fame and adoring fans" vibe too. ^^;

oh, pretty kitties! Cranberry's *gorgeous*.

Your cats are adorable! Thank you for posting their pics and sharing their stories. I also have cats, 4 to be exact, and 2 of them orange, and all four of them rescue kitties. Herman reminds me a bit of my stepdaughter's roommate cat.
