Tank
"My kittie's name is TANK. I got him as a kitten in Seattle and he has definately grown into his name. He was a crazy kitten and now he's an even crazier cat. He's kind of like a Guard Kitty.......if he hears something in the middle of the night that's not normal he sits up rigid and has a low growl like a dog. I LOVE HIM!!!" -- Susan
Tony
"He was named after the NASCAR driver Tony Stewart because he was quicker than greased lightning. He's four years old now and "mothers" my other two 2 year old cats. He has had to have one back leg amputated because of a fight with a vehicle, and we almost lost him this year because he got hit again and broke his remaining back leg. I can happily say our vet was able to repair his back leg and he's recouping very nicely. He's back to "helping" us tie our shoes and fixing meals. Anytime I go to the kitchen he thinks I'm going to have "something special" for him. " -- Sherrie Swafford
Snoopy
"Snoopy is 13 years old and still
going strong. I adopted him at 4 months and we hit it off right away! When
I was single he was a great roommate--he would sit in my front window
watching for me to come home, then greet me at the door with lots of purrs
and head butts. Now he loves my wife almost as much as he loves me.

Debugger
"This picture shows one of the reasons Debugger got his name. The other reason was the fleas that he brought with him -- 2 months old, crying at the kitchen slider. My wife and I had multiple cats throughout our 34 years of marriage. She died 3 ½ years ago. Debugger is the only cat that I would consider "mine". My lap, my bed, my keyboard! A new definition of "kitten on the keys". He was 5 months old when this picture was taken. At 8 months, he still sleeps on the monitor. Fell off the other day. Of course, he gave me a dirty look.

Liza
"Liza was 2 months old when she was found in a cardboard box with 5 other siblings in the main train station in Rio de Janeiro, 8 years ago. We found homes for the other kittens but Liza stayed with us. Her coat reminded us of Liza Minelli, and also because our Liza "talks" a lot. She's sweet, talkative,a little edgy but a great hunter. She dealt with all the snakes we had around here. She's never fights other cats, prefers the diplomatic strategy "Let me get out of here quick!"
