Lover of Cats

CRAZY ABOUT KITTIES

Since I'm a single woman, my cats are like my kids. So here are the obligatory pictures with the gushing descriptions. Forgive me if I brag, but my cats are just about the most perfect cats in the world.

Tansing is a nine-year old Himalayan. Named after a village in the Himalayans, Tani spends most of her day sleeping under my bed. She was the last of the litter and on her way to the pound when I got her from the breeder. She's shy around strangers, but rules the roost with the other two cats. Yes, she looks grumpy in the photo but that's the way she always looks. Like me, she loves to eat, although I haven't found a way to use Science Diet in a casserole.

Tibriz came to me three years ago from the Humane Society and is a tortie Persian mix. She got sick a few days after I brought her home and I nursed her back to health. She's rewarded me by being the sweetest, most loyal cat I've ever owned. Tibi's usually not more than a few feet away and she's the first thing I see in the morning (usually a close-up as she nudges me with her nose). Like me, she loves to curl up in bed for an afternoon nap.

Tallasse is the newest addition to the family. She's a calico with a goofy disposition. I got her from the Humane Society just a few months ago. I didn't intend to have three cats, but I saw a picture of her and couldn't resist - she spoke to me. As the newcomer, Tally has suffered through a lot of growling and hissing from Tansing, but hopefully Tani will learn to love her as much as I do. And like me, Tally loves to sit at the window on a sunny afternoon and listen to the birds singing.
