Mothers with Fur- Feather- and Fin-babies check in!
:hi: I've been a furbaby Mama for as long as I can remember (even a grandma, I guess, with my Persian cats).

Baby Cat has some new pics that will be developed soon, but here is her old one:

32. New pics.
None of the Koi photos are mine. I borrowed 'em from Google.





I've captured the image that didn't post up above for a second try :shrug: sometimes ~ photobucket is the only safe way to share.

I've gotten very attached my Koi in less that a year. I'm going to need someone to will them to when I'm gone.

15. Mom to four furbabies here!
I got a card from them that says

Roses are red.
Beagles have spots.
We hope you know, Mom,
that we love you lots!


Apparently their grandpa helped them pick it out.

29. She's almost 1 already!
And yes, she knows she's the boss. She has been in charge since I got her, even as a wee little 8 week old kitten, she put the boys in their places.

27. What pretty kitties!
Spencer looks like a character. Kyra's pic looks like it belongs on a calendar. So pretty!

30. Thank you!
Spencer IS definitely a character. He lays like that whenever it's warm outside...he's done it since he was a kitten. It's actually kinda smart. With his legs like that, his entire tummy rests on the cool wood floor, lol.

I wish I had used my real camera for Kyra's picture. It's a bit blurry because I used my cell phone. She does the regal lion pose a lot though. ;)

25. My "kids":
Edited on Sun May-11-08 04:48 PM by ocelot
The youngest one -- the most beautiful Pixie, a/k/a The Nebraska Cat.


Jeoffry, the most handsome tabby cat ever, named for the cat in Christopher Smart's poem "Jubilate Agno." He's also the loudest cat in the world, and he always wants to lick me.


Milo, the oldest, the biggest, and the most supremely cuddly. It's like he's totally made of fur.

34. Two babies here...
Dozer and Jules

Sadly, I have to send them off to relatives to care for for the next six months and then a month in quarantine. Pet export laws suck! But at least I'll have a Merry Christmas!
