Everyone knows writers are crazy cat people. I’ve managed to keep my cat obsession reasonable, and thus only have two, brothers from the same litter. I’m posting a pic of Don Quixote de la Mancha (but you can call him Don) for our show and tell. His brother looks just like him, only a bit bigger.
Anyway, this is my cat, the one I was talking about on Twitter. He follows me around the house like a puppy. Sometimes he cries if I’ve been working too long. He also wakes me up at 4 am because he’s lonely and bored and wants a butt-rub. Lucky for him, he’s adorable. As you can see, he has his paw on me, for I am his human.
I love cats like whoa and damn. There’s some sweet kitteh rescue in my 3rd Ava Gray book, SKIN HEAT, in fact, based on my real experiences working at a vet clinic. Unlike Neva, I wasn’t the doc, though. I was the office manager. But if I had been any good at science, I think I would’ve wanted to be a vet. Sadly, I have science-fail.
And now I invite you to share your kitteh pix. Post a link in comments, so we can see your fur baby! Don’t worry if it doesn’t show up right away. Sometimes links get the comments nudged into moderation, but I will find and save all your kittehs from the spam folder. Show us your kittehs!
This is Saber and Poe. First meeting.

This is my boy Seamus, in his “custom” straight from Costco blueberry box. He fell in love with it & I don’t have the heart to throw it out.

He was diagnosed last year with diabetes, we (him & I) went through 1.5 months of insulin shots twice a day…and he’s now in remission! YEY us! But he’s my baby! A big baby.
Oh, the cuteness!! Your cats are adorable, Rinda.
And Nat, I bet Seamus is a total cuddle bug.
Looking at pictures of cats just makes me -so- happy.
This is Binx…she follows my daughter everywhere and only bugs me when she wants food. We love her!
This is my kitty Neelix on Christmas morning, after he took over the box my son’s toy cat came in.

Here’s my stalker cat Sparky. He’s heterochromatic, with one blue eye and one yellow-green eye. Sparky meows at 5 am for company, begs for nip all day long like some drug addict, pesters the crap out of me when I’m writing, and even stalks me in the bathroom.

Neelix -is- Fur-real; they did a great job on him, Lillie! *g* Did you name him after the character on Voyager?
Wow, Sparky’s eyes are bewitching. He’s really beautiful. I love white cats.
Here’s my Kiko who will be one next week. Loves hanging out in the bathroom sink!

I have four (I can explain!). Here are Punky, Trouble, Jinx, and Kyla. (You’ll see Elrohir in there too – my dog.)

Aw, Kiko is so sleek. He looks mischievous!
Dina, your kittehs are lovely.
this is my old guy..he is intense with his strawberry..;)

LOL! Yes, that’s where his name came from. His sister was Dax (from DS9). My inner geek comes out when it comes to naming my pets. This is Dax.

Oh, what a cutie, Psynde! Looks like he’s wearing a white cravat. He’s a fancy kitteh.
Lillie, Dax doesn’t seem thrilled about having her picture taken. But she’s beautiful.
This is my kitty Chloe. She likes to play in between the two shower curtains. She does so when I’m in the shower, if I’m drying my hair, at night… pretty much whenever… =)

I didn’t tel Sparky you thought his eyes were bewitching, Ann. It would’ve gone straight to his head! *_* Here’s my first kitty Cocoa. She was a ‘special needs’ kitty–a genetic birth defect made her super clumsy. She passed a few years ago. I still miss her.

Here’s Jillybean: http://i44.tinypic.com/x3vko.jpg and http://i40.tinypic.com/rjfk8z.jpg
We got her from the shelter years ago. Sweetest cat ever but dumb as a post and cross-eyed. She also skips her bowl of food and goes for the dog’s crunchies whenever possible.
On behalf of my household, the Murkworks, I would like to present the following running record on my partner’s LJ of pix involving our two boys, Fred and George:
http://solarbird.livejournal.com/tag/froderick%20and%20george
They’re named after the Weasley twins in the Harry Potter books, which turned out to be frighteningly apt as soon as we got the little buggers home. 😉
Here’s Our McDonalds (that’s what happens when you let a 2 year old name the cat that followed you home): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2558212&l=76107a5397&id=695892756
He likes to sit behind me (on my shoulders) or next to me while I’m working. But we’ve seen him wake the kids up from bad dreams too.
My widdle girl Shadow; I call her that because she is my shadow. Whever I am, she’ stuck up my hiney *G*

Here’s mine:

We just adopted Spike six weeks ago and he’s now following me around like a puppy dog.
Here are my buddies, grumpy Hopi (brown, 12yo male) and flirty rentboy Walter (gray, 2yo male). This is their usual spot on the couch, where they claim most of the elbow room needed for typing.

So many cute cats!!
You’re totally bringing out my inner-MamaKitty here. Normally, I’m not much of a cat person. I grew up with cats, and always had at LEAST 2, but there were a few times we had around 10 (we lived out in the country with lots of land), so I think that burned me out a little… Then, I moved in with FH, who had two kittehs of his own:
Sam (who passed away last year) – our lazy fat kitteh who was king of the house:
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac162/MamaKitty729/book/Sam1.jpg
and Ditto – our crazy kitteh who hates his own tail and clings to FH like it’s his job:
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac162/MamaKitty729/book/Ditto1.jpg/book/Ditto1.jpg
Just before Sam passed away, I brought Stinky (who was then named Gibbs, after a character on NCIS) home for my daughter. When he started eating the indoor kitty food instead of the wet food my mom had been feeding him… well, let’s just say his GI tract wasn’t happy. So, my daughter re-dubbed him our “Stinky” kitteh:
http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac162/MamaKitty729/book/Stinky16.jpg and even though he LOVES me (sleeps on my head every night), he loves to mess with Monkey… who’s terrified of him. So, when she’s sleeping, Stinky will sneak over and lay on her:

Sorry for rambling! I love my kitteh babies! 🙂
Heehee, looks like Don’s trying to get between you and the keyboard 😉 What’s his brother’s name?
This is Manny, photographed two years ago, but his expression is much the same. He doesn’t think much of my reading material, but cats are the harshest critics 😉 http://www.flickr.com/photos/tezmilleroz/2325026895/
Here’s my kitty:

What?!
I just loooove cats! We have four and I couldn’t imagine life without them trying to boss me around!
Here’s Oasis, being used as a pillow by our (then) Basset puppy. Who’s the boss now?

This is my youngest, Agatha. This was taken when she was a kitten in 2007. She’s a lot bigger and has much longer hair now.

Here are some current pictures of my 2.

I love my babies. They make me so happy. Hubs and I talk about them like children – I am sure people get sick of it! lol
I just posted this pic to my blog. This is my 18 month old furball, who has a cute belly:

Oh my gosh, what cute cats!
Just an FYY to people who linked me to facebook, it’s telling me that those links are no longer valid. I have a sad because I can’t view your kittehs.
