Family members of the furry purrrrsuasion

Where to begin? So many animals so little space!

The felines -

This is Jasper.














He is the sensitive one in the family. Very good natured and always looking to please, which usually translates into him being beaten up by the other cats :-(


And this is Morris.













He is as stuck up as he looks here, and he is a handful! Opens unlocked doors, and his newest trick is walking along the upstairs banister!


This young man is Minnie Mo (AKA Minner).

















He is the studious one of the clan, as he spends the majority of his time sitting quietly watching everything and everyone around him. Potential criminal or thoughtful intellectual? Only time will tell...



Here we have Rhaine (pronounced rain or wren depending the day).

















He is the lion of the family. He loves to bring us mice (stuffed of course) and he torments everyone! No one likes playing with him as he has a sadistic streak. Even though he is trying to look innocent here, you can see the underlying tendencies in this one!



As the trumpets blare, let me introduce - Ayah!!!!!!!! (Arabic for miracle)

















Chris saw her in Petco and fell head over heals for this girl, as does everyone who meets her. Being a bit more removed than Chris, I wasn't sold on ANOTHER cat. Am I glad Chris usually gets his way, hehe.


A short tale of the princess -

She was found in a vacant lot paralyzed from the waste down, with serious neurological damage. She was taken to the vet and nursed back to health. The rescue organization tried to adopt her out; but alas, no one wanted to take on a cat who was sure to have future medical issues. They were going to put her down in three days! I decided we had room for one more cat. She has changed this family for the best and has become the star everywhere she goes! She has slowly begun using her tale more and more, to the point that when you call her name out her tails flops around in a vain attempt at "happy tail." The only issue we have found with her is if there is a box inside the house, it belongs to her. There is even a song in her honor...next time you speak with Chris ask him to sing it for you.


p.s. - yes mom, that is the box of clothes you sent for Ziva. Ayah saw it and claimed it as her own. It took me a few days to find a suitable replacement for her to rule from!
