So ...Diana - these are gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. So glad you have the three. We have always had cats: first two were Butch and Sundance, then we had Tabitha Twitchit, then we had Ginger and Pickles and then we had Darcy and Bingley. When I left my husband I had to leave the cats which upset me more than anything else, and a year or two later when ex remarried, his new Mrs moved in with another two so at one stage they had about five all over the place. That was one of the times when I regretted leaving.....Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739410242766153431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-14336661285826792332008-12-15T07:35:00.000-08:002008-12-15T07:35:00.000-08:00I love cats but am too allergic to have them anywh...I love cats but am too allergic to have them anywhere near me. But I'll talk about my rescued dog any day (and wish I had gotten two at once, for my little wee pooch is lonely). These animals add such a special element to one's household. One thinks that one's life is complete before they enter it, and then the next thing you know a gaggle of people are willing to just sit around the living room oooh-ing and awe-ing away. I can see why you felt the need to add these posts to your blog - these kitties are CUTE.

He is a strange character called Timmy, very beautiful but inclined to suddenly bite. I still love him to bits, though.harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04470091985662379182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-49596146737317359332008-12-13T14:40:00.000-08:002008-12-13T14:40:00.000-08:00They are just wonderful, Diana.

We like to think we don't pamper them but as I type this they are all curled up in front of a gently glowing woodburner in a state of Devon-ly bliss(bit like me really!)dovegreyreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476787364182624719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-9869609931882529382008-12-11T07:42:00.000-08:002008-12-11T07:42:00.000-08:00The Bengal cat is gorgeous, just so strikingly pre...The Bengal cat is gorgeous, just so strikingly pretty. You will have to have them spayed even if all three are girls.<BR/><BR/>It's like having babies -- only they are cat babies. <BR/><BR/>I think of myself as their grandmother too, and find myself calling Jim "Dad" more when they are around. I never would call him "Dad" and "granddad" does seem too old.<BR/><BR/>They are cheering but they are also troublesome. They have a narrow range of behaviors stemming from what was probably a single cat whose type pleased so that it was bred over and over again, and then the breeds emerged (like Siamese).<BR/>I've thought about them and also the typical photos and one of these days I'm going to write a thoughtful blog on cats even if it will seem laughable to others :)<BR/><BR/>EllenEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979942382683140531noreply@blogger.com
