This is Spooky and Frisky. Spooky is the oldest and the boss. Spooky was the first cat and as a 5 week old kitten was found in the carport of an associate of mine. Frisky was a kitten found in some alley in Birmingham and brought to my veterinarian from whom I adopted him to be a friend to Spooky. Frisky is now over 13 years old.

Spooky, Frisky, and Itsy. Itsy was the first cat to come from a pet shop. I got her at 8 weeks to be a friend for Frisky. She died unexpectedly when she was about 5 ½ years old. These are the three original cats.

Stubby (the calico) and Orbit. These cats who are sisters from different litters were adopted stray kittens in Northport, AL. Orbit is now about ten years old and Stubby is now about nine years old.

Another picture of Stubby and Orbit. They are very good friends.

Teensy, 4 weeks old and in very bad shape - he only weighed 9 ounces. He was left to die by his mother. He could hardly sit up and he could not move his back legs. He also seemed to be blind. He was very anemic. It took a lot of effort but he lived and is now 100%. See him grown up a few pictures down. This picture was taken the evening that he was found and I doubted that he would live through the night.

Teensy at about 8 to 10 weeks -- doing much better, with Frisky.

Fluffy the Manx cat at about 6 weeks with Frisky. One morning I was awakened at about 5:30 by a squeaking sound outside my house. When I got up I went outside to check and found Fluffy whose mother had disappeared. Fluffy is now over two years old.

Fluffy the Manx cat the day I found him outside the house. You can see how small he was.

The house where all the cats live

I acquired Bitsy several months after Isty died as she reminded me so much of her in appearance and in here actions. She was adopted from the Humane Society via the pet shop where I buy supplies. She picks up where Itsy left off. She is sitting in what was Itsy's favorite perch.

This is Squeaky and Slinky who are brothers and came to live with me in December, 2001. Squeaky is not very smart but he makes up for it by being extra cute. Slinky is very smart and so gets into a lot of trouble. He thinks he is number 1 cat in the house and most of the time Teensy who is the real number 1 cat tolerates this.

Scaredy Cat sitting in his favorite chair. Scaredy Cat was an old cat that needed a new home and came to live with me for the last year of his life.

Slinky and me in my office.

Bitsy.  I am a putty-tat rougher-upper.  I rough-up putty-tats.  Anytime I get mad I rough up the first putty-tat I see. All the other putty-tats in the house think I am a nut.

My name is Slinky.  I am the number one pussy cat in the house. 

My name is Squeaky.  I am the brother of Slinky.  I am not very smart but I make up for it by being extra cute.

My name is P.C. which stands for Perfect Cat or Purrfectcat.  I was about 15 years old and moved in with the other cats because a new member of my original family was very allergic to cats.  I am a very loving cat.

Here is another picture of P.C. headed to his favorite perch on top of the refrigerator.

Another picture of P.C.

Itsy loved to play with computer paper. This is the hall bedroom which was used as the cat's room.

Itsy loved to carry her catnip carrot all over the house while meowing constantly.

Itsy's spot on the kitchen counter to eat her favorite canned food. Frisky is eating with her.

Itsy and Spooky. They were friends.

Itsy is playing with her favorite toy.

Itsy figured out how to get into the cat food canister any time she wanted.

Itsy's favorite perch in the living room.

Itsy's favorite perch in the den. You can see the rock garden and bird bath in the background.

The last picture of Itsy taken about two months before she died. This was about the only time she cooperated while I was taking her picture.

Another picture of Itsy at 8 weeks.

Itsy's grave in the back yard.
