Cats, cats everywhere a cat!

Cats are funny. They just show up at your house and never leave. With dogs it's different. My mommy adopted me from a breeder. I was expensive. We never went out to adopt a cat. They just show up and never leave! Not to say they are any less important. It is just funny how it seems to work out that way. We currently have six cats that reside in our home. Six cats and me. They are Mookie Moo, Scooby, Alex, Sphisiak, Bob and Ms. Owlee Hoot.

Mookie Moo used to be a feral cat. Now he is a lap cat. Scooby and Sphisiak are brothers. When they were babies they had a horrible respiratory infection. They were feral cats and a neighbor was taking them to the pound to be put down. We couldn't let the neighbor do that, now could we? Bob is an enormous fat cat that plopped down on our doorstep and refused to leave. We put up signs everywhere. No one claimed him. Alex was basically dropped off here. They said they will be back for him. Don't think that is going to happen. Funny thing about Alex is that he hates cats. He likes dogs though. He has to be confined to his own special room. Last but not least, is Ms. Owlee Hoot. She is our only girl. My mommy found her under the hood of her car. She went out to start the car and heard a horrible cry. That was Ms. Owlee Hoot. She was only about four weeks old at the time. It took two men to remove her from the car, but she was unharmed.

That's my family of cats! Crazy huh?
