Kitties!

My kitties are family, too.

Seasdaih

This is "Shay-cee", also affectionately known as Smoo.  She adopted me from the animal shelter...er...wait...She joined my family in October 1997, about 5 months before I actually planned to get a kitty.  But I couldn't wait any longer, so I got her before I got a bed.  I have my priorities.  According to her info card, the previous family had given her up because they "had too many cats."  Grunt.  Their loss.  She was very affectionate with me from the get-go, but very reticent with others, and looked so lonely everytime I left for work that I felt terrible!  So in May 1998, I got...

Ricky has a thing for feather wands, catnip mice, and cellophane. Only, he eats the cellophane.

No longer reticent, Seasdaih practices her pose for the cover of PlayKitty.

Brodrick

AKA Ricky, AKA "Buddy" or "Brat".  He was adopted from a co-worker who had found four kittens abandoned by their mama.  Originally, I was going to adopt the calico in the group, so my kitties would be similar, but when I went to go visit them, here was this gangly little kitten with fur sticking out everywhere gamely exploring anything with no hesitation.  He set off on his own and poked at paper scraps, clothing, and electrical sockets with equal fervor.  I knew he'd be perfect.  Seasdaih was understandably less enamored and spent three days alternately ignoring him and backing him into corners, until he finally decided that he'd had enough and bapped her on the nose.  Things have been more or less harmonious since.

This is Gwen.  Yes, I know she's not a cat.  This is Todd's St. Bernard, and I suppose once we're living together, she'll be my step-dog.  Besides, look at that face!  Once I'm there, I'll likely take a variety of pictures and give her her own section.
