We've had multiple cats in our lives ... My first pet as an adult was Simoriah - given to me by Holly as a graduation present from college. She had a heart-shaped spot on her side [:)] She got out of the house about a year and a half ago and never came back. Holly had Tyler - big, fluffy himalayan (possibly spelled wrong) ... and FYI for anyone interested, he's the one who would mount the girls even after he was fixed that I mentioned in another thread. He ended up with a tumor on his face that kept him from closing his mouth all the way. Lost 2 pounds in about a week because he couldn't eat. It was pretty sad - he couldn't groom, couldn't eat, couldn't drink. We lost him about ... 3 years ago, I think. Perry was a manx with a stumpy tail. He was HUGE (26lbs of solid muscle) and was the lovingest cat I've ever met. He got out of the house when we were still in Lafayette. Saw him once after that, but couldn't catch him. Grendel was a hermaphrodite before we had him fixed, but more masculine, so even though he's techinically a calico, I call him male. He's got extra toes, he's anti-social, and since he never leaves my bedroom anymore, he's gotten fat. MIA, named that because we got her when Perry went M.I.A., is a little yellow tabby - very vocal, and a regular houdini. We literally cannot keep her in the house. Good thing we didn't declaw her when we had her neutered. Fernando is another 'bigun' - no idea how much he weighs, but he's at minimum 15lbs. He's currently terrorizing the neighborhood, I think. We're fairly certain that he goes down the road and eats with the cats that the little old lady down there feeds every night (might explain how big he is ...). He's another tabby, but more orange than yellow. Gwen is my "stupid pregnant cat" right now. She and Fernando managed to get it right before we could get either of them fixed. She's gotten more friendly in some ways and less friendly in others. She'll let you pet her belly now, but OMG, don't pick her up. She's a dilute calico and is part scottish fold - her ears don't fold over all the way, but they do curl forward a little bit, and they are way smaller than the other cats' ears. I love my dogs ... don't get me wrong ... but I have been a cat person from birth. If Holly and rob weren't on alert for it, I'd already be well on my way to "crazy cat lady" status LOL
