We have 5 cats; Manuel, Sassy, Kitty, Kiko & Palmerda. What about you?

Good to hear. Probably wouldn't like them anyway.

Black and gold is a really cool color combination. Does Jellybean eat jellybeans?

No, I've never given her the opportunity to eat jellybeans. :-P

Whoa, I'd love to know where those names came from. Hey, if cats don't get into mischief than there's something wrong. That's what makes them so much fun.

lol my kids and i came up with those names...now coonie i named him he was a stray that came to the house hes Siamese but has the face of a raccoon its a very unique looking cat ive never seen a Siamese that looked like him

You're right, they never get bored. We don't get bored either. They provide so much love and entertainment. They're easy to keep track of. They pretty much stay in or around the house. Sassy is the only strictly indoor cat. Toby sounds like he's adorable. How about a picture?

The name Terra is a good one. The cat in my photos is Sassy. She doesn't get along too well with our other four, just like Terra. Cat lovers are some of the most wonderful people out there.

Rhiannon sounds familiar, I just can't place it. The different pronunciations of Siadie is funny.

What's important is you did a wonderful thing. Hey if Pusspuss works than all is well.

That's great to hear they play together. Two of our five get along with our two Bassett Hounds.

Whoa, interesting names. You've got to tell me where the names came from. ‹(°¿°)›

I'll bet they're very special to the two of you. How did you come up with those names? You realize each has a repeating letter in it's name. oo, ll, ss. ‹(°¿°)›

Great names! Good for you, taking in strays and giving them a home. Oreo and Muffin make me hungry just thinking of them. ‹(°¿°)›

I'll bet it's non-stop entertainment with your 7 furry humans! They are after all our "other" children. I love your summary. People who don't own cats can't figure out how we know each one. I don't understand how they could be mistaken for one another. Each cat has their own distinct and sometimes odd character traits. ‹(°¿°)›

I can sympathize with you about your asthma. I don't have it that bad but I am allergic to animal dander. Of course. ‹(°¿°)›

I totally agree with u.. and it seems THEY know their own names as well... coz sometimes when we think we see one (from behind sometimes they look the same).. we call by name.. he/she would simply ignore us.. but call them by their proper name.. and they would stop whatever they are doing and look at u.. as if to ask.... YES,, can i help you with something :-)... and then go on their merry way... just love my cats.. and although i have asthma.. would never dream of giving any one of them up..

The three Cs. I love it. I agree, nothing beats having cats around for animal companionship and entertainment.

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I know the smell can still be around even when things are clean. Perhaps someone else picked them up after you. That's too bad you felt they were behind you on the streets. That's what our conscious does to us. The utility man will get what we call in the states "payback." In other words, karma will catch up with him.

Perhaps some day you'll be able to keep and care for a pet. It doesn't need to be a cat or dog. For me though, nothing is better than a crazy cat. ‹(°·°

i would like to have a cat now. a himalayan cat to be specific! they look so huggable! well there are dogs too that are huggable, but i am so interested with a himalayan cat right now. before i was interested with a shitzu dog. but i lost the interest eversince i saw a himalayan cat. ^__^ yeah i hope i could take a pet someday soon. maybe i could start with a fish. ^__^

I can understand what you're talking about when you say your monster children hehe. That's when we turn to our cats for peace of mind. I like smoky & bandit. You know I'm going to ask Has that got anything to do with the movie? I'm trying to picture what kind of dogs brandy & rascal are. Do you have names for your future horses yet?

Cute new avatar firechick72.

thank you. No no names yet I like to watch the animal for a few days and then name them it is easier unless there is just no doubt like my kitty bandit he is black and white with a white head and what looks like a black mask around his eyes. and smokey is just that color solid smoke color. ( I honestly didn't think about smoky and bandit until my 16 year old pointed it out because she loves that show.) brandy my son named she is a alstrailian sheperd (I might have to get rid of her because she keeps trying to get my chickens.) yea most of them have names to lol. rascele is just that a little rascel lol I am not sure whet kind he is he was about a month old when I found him on the ide of the road on one of my fire calls. it broke my heart that someone would do that just dump him on the highway they are lucky he didn't get ran over. so I brought him home and my 8 year old fell in love. it is so cute he follows him everywhere even fishing lol. ok I will not bore you any longer.

Thanks. We choose their names by the way they look and act. Too bad about the cats. Great name for the dog! I like Cincin best. Russian hamster, hmmmm? Hope he's/she's not a spy, ha ha lol. Does the hamster answer to it's name? ‹(°¿°)›

Yeah it's great, fun, silly, annoying, frustrating, loving, satisfying, etc., all the time. Day and night.

Kieran is an interesting name?

I just saw a close up of your cat It's adorable! It looks like a beautiful stuffed animal. What is it's breed?

Hi there again...thank you for the compliments! Kieran is a gaelic name that was already given to him before I adopted him from a rescue. Romeo is the cat in the avatar is my Bengal Leopard Cat (1/2 Asian Leopard Cat ALC and 1/2 dometic). He is a joy to have in our family, but is a handful being so hyperactive and energetic.

Love the photos of your cats. They're adorable!

Thanks.

Whoa. I know all about Jack Russell Terriers and their hyper nature. I have a friend who owns one. What a handful. I had a Collie years ago and they couldn't be more opposites. I'm with you, I love all animals. Obviously we have the 5 cats, we also have 2 smart lovable Bassett Hounds.

That is so cool. I've always loved the 3 Musketeers. I know this is going far back but I had two cats named Bud & Lou after two of my father's favorite comedians, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. If you don't know who they are, check out some of their old movies, they're very funny.
