WELCOME NEW MEMBER: HALLOWEEN

Halloween
I live in San Francisco, California, on the side of a hill. I am 16 years old. I was a feral kitten. I showed up in my peoples' back yard one morning with my brothers and sister and mom. Ryan, who was a little boy then, saw us in his back yard and yelled, "Look at all the kitties!" I ended up staying with Ryan, The Food Lady and Food Dude. My sister, August, moved in a couple of doors away. The rest of the family went other places.

I like to run around in the yards behind our house, and on our hill. I like to chase and catch the birdies sometimes, and I am also very, very good at catching mice and rats, which I leave as treasured gifts at the side of my Food Lady's bed. Because I am getting older, I spend more time inside now, snoopervising the People and their projects. I especially like to sit on the Food Dude while he yells at sports on the television.

I do have lots of attitude, but fortunately my People adore me.

Here's a link to my blog.

I've attached a photo for you to include on my TATA entry.
Thanks for letting me join the clan!

INTRODUCING: STARBUCK

Starbuck
This is Starbuck- she's my first ever tortie and as she's ten weeks old she doesn't have a very long story just yet! I'd been looking for a male kitten but she was down the front of the cage going "Pick me! Pick me!" As my last cat had had anxiety issues, I wanted to go the other way - she was the boldest and most confident kitten there, I asked the attendant if I could have a closer look at her. She purred in my arms the moment I held her, and cried piteously when she was put back in the cage. She knew what to do!

She's got my poor older cat completely nonplussed - she's fearless and is wearing down her new big sister's resistance one day at a time. She ignored her own bowl and litter tray and uses the older cat's things. She's getting braver - every time her big sister hisses, she backs off just that little bit less and the big girl is that little bit less annoyed. Right now big girl is sitting in the windowsill, giving the evil eye through the lace curtain tolittle girl. It's not working...
THANK YOU ZOOLATRY!!!
Starbuck now has her own blog:
Please go and visit her!

GEORGIA'S A POLYDACTYL
A polydactyl cat has more than the usual number of toes on one or all of its paws. Polydactyl cats may have as many as seven digits on front and/or hind paws, and various combinations of anywhere from four to seven are common, although each of the front and rear paws are typically the same. Polydactyly is most commonly found on the front paws only, with polydactyly of all four paws being less common. It is rare for a cat to have polydactyl hind paws only. How cool is GEORGIA!!


SPATS' FRONT PAWS

Spats' back right paw

Spats' back left paw
Since she has four white paws, that is how she got her name!

Spats are a type of shoe accessory worn in the late 19th and early 20th Century. Spats were stiff fabric covers covering the top of the shoe and extending up the lower part of the leg. Spats, especially white ones on highly-polished black shoes, formed part of the stereotype dress of the era, along with a top hat and a cane.

WELCOME NEW MEMBER: GEORGIA

GEORGIA



Hi, I'm Georgia. When I was a young kitten, I went with my siblings Tillie and Moxie to live with a kind older lady who loved cats. When we were 2 years old, the kind lady went to the Rainbow Bridge and we got our current Mom. As you can see from my pictures, I am a polydactyl cat. I have extra toes on my front and back paws. I also have beautiful tortie furs! Lots of black, beige and orange. Mom has lots of pictures of me, but she does not have any of me when I whap Tillie, heehee. We do not get along very well. Tillie likes to act like a princess and hisses at me. I like to chase her to show her whose boss!! Yup that's right, it’s ME!!!!!! That's because I have Tough *ss Tortietude!!! You can find me at my brofurs blog "Mickey's Musings"
