Cat-alog
Furry Family Familiars

Pity Patty
The grand matron of the first family.
One dark and stormy night 17 years ago a poor abandoned waif came mewing at our door. There were no questions asked. In a house with 3 young girls there was nothing to do but adopt the pitiful orphan.
Grandmaster in the art of lap sitting. She can get in a lap before it’s even made.

Kitty Kay
Heir to the first family throne
We believe his heavy use of catnip has permanently made him happy.

Let’s see, you play in gardens, like knocking rocks and stones about to make into various displays and on the side you run a “cat” house! Wow, you are a busy man. No wonder you can’t write much during the warmer months, you got a lot going on in your life!
Actually these cats look like they have enjoyed a healthy, loved and full-fun life – good on ya. I like the dog – yes, sadly I am allergic to cats—damnit, I have such horrible allergies…makes ya wanted just spit, eh?
As always your blogs are wonderful – hope you find time to continue even when the warm weather hits…

Oh my, John, these are a splendid collection of catchildren–very beautiful and personable, and I love Pookie the Protector too. Spunkie, however, has just yawned, turned over and demanded a bellyrub. He’s interested about the release form and more tuna, too. (He’s my shadowcat).

I’ve been accused of having a ‘cat house’ too
We only have 3 in house and the rest are in the barn keeping the mice population down. Yes, we do feed them as well 

You have a very handsome bunch of furry friends there. I’m sure your lap is always warm, as mine was tonight.
They keep us well entertained, don’t they?
I always appreciate kitty pics

Bamapat,
I don’t run the ‘cat house’ I just finance the operation. Come warm weather I won’t be visiting everyone as often but do plan on at least keeping Sundays reserved to write.
jodi,
Who knew cats were ‘collectables’. Every day their value increases yet they remain ‘priceless’. Pookey is a bit ‘disturbed’ - she became part of the family as a puppy and is as much of a lap cat as the rest of the ‘kids’. 94 lbs. is a bit of a burden though.
kerri,
LOL there is usually a waiting list for lap space. With so many there is never an empty lap in the house. They are fun to have around. Each has their own personality and they’re not afraid to express themselves.

It looks like our house. We even have some similar personalities!
