They mean the universe to me! Dibbles is an 18-pound marshmallow snuggler, and Pippa is 8 pounds of dynamite. Sometimes when I look at them, it's almost overwhelming how much I adore them. I thank God for my sweetie pies every day. My beloved bebehs are Dibbles and Pippa. They mean the universe to me! Dibbles is an 18-pound marshmallow snuggler, and Pippa is 8 pounds of dynamite.

I couldn't picture myself taking care of a dog in our Minnesota winter, so the next logical choice was a cat. I went to the shelter with a spayed female in mind. I picked out one of the cats, then put her on hold to pick up the next day. That night a friend told me that I should take a second look; that I shouldn't feel obligated to take the one I had picked. So the next day I did take another look. I went into one of the rooms where there were several cats together wandering around. I sat down for a short time and one of the young cats came over to me, jumped into my lap and fell asleep, purring. Which one do you think I went home with? They say they pick us, not the other way around!! :) I never thought of myself as a “cat person”, but back about 11 years ago I moved into an apartment on my own, and someone suggested I get a pet.

There isn't a day that goes by that one of my kitties doesn't do something to cheer me or my husband up. They love to bring us their favorite toys (they announce them as they bring them too), all 7 love to pile on top of the bed (and us) to snuggle (what is better than warm kitties in winter), and love to play with each other. They all range in age from 13 to 2 (and two are litter-mates, brothers, and best friends), and are all rescues (all but one). They are the lights of my life and I am honored to pamper and love them every single day (and they love the pampering, especially the bonito flakes LOL).

Jazzy we obtained from a cat rescue a couple years ago and she is a Tonkinese whom the original owner passed on from cancer. She was shy and quite the loner in her toilet paper box at first. When we first laid eyes on that brown minky turquoise eyed cute face we had to adopt her. With her loud purr, happy drewel, and head butting we could tell she was happy she was going home with us. After lots of lovey talk she finally came out of that box to a full plate of fancy feast. Years later, she has Queendom over the root of one more cat and a dog. She is a loving companion and family member. We love her. Cheers, Liz Hi!

My children were much younger then. I love him. He got a nickname "StinkMan" from the odor he immeted when we pet him when he first came home! Piunchy White Boy, my solid white 20 lb. dog looking muscle cat, jumped into my car as I was moving away from his home, in my old back yard. Having to hurry in my moved to live with and help my mother after a serious car accident, Pinchy surprised me by popping his head up above my boxes and clothing which I had packed. He is loved by the whole family. The newbie to the family was a gift after the passing of my daughter's first cat (BC lived 19 years) but her friends gave her a kitten named her Foxy, and now she is a part of the family a year later. We love our pet cats, as they are the glee in our lives and the joy in our souls. Stimpy, a 10 year old manx, solid black was rescued from a dumpster at a local bar.

She is a beautiful long haired orange tabby. She love being involved in every area of my life. She sets on my desk between me and the keyboard and helps with all my e-mails, she loves to help the paper through the printer and when I work in my studio she has to inspect everything I do. She's a wonderful cat and family member. I adopted Bonite from our local animal controle three years ago. She is a beautiful long haired orange tabby.
