You put off doing your laundry so long, it evolved!

He’s a cutie, though. 🙂

My Kitties:

Charlie , who used up several of his nine lives in a burning abandoned house:

I have new pictures and new kitties since the last time, so here they are!  
[Mr. Poopy](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/vsquist/detail?.dir=efb8&.dnm=6677.jpg&.src=ph)  
[Buggy](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/vsquist/detail?.dir=efb8&.dnm=94be.jpg&.src=ph)  
[Daphne, aka Momma](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/vsquist/detail?.dir=efb8&.dnm=4a91.jpg&.src=ph)  
And, last, but not least:  
[Fuzzy Face](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/vsquist/detail?.dir=efb8&.dnm=5b95.jpg&.src=ph) (She’s Daphne’s baby, but as you can see, Buggy has adopted her.)  
And, your bonus for playing today:  
[Weezer, the World’s Most Adorable Dog](http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/vsquist/detail?.dir=efb8&.dnm=e0be.jpg&.src=ph) (well, he is to me anyway)

Good guess! He’s a pug/Eskimo cross, from what the previous owners told us. We say he’s a Peskimo.

**Beware of Doug** , I have no idea what Daphne is, but I think she’s absolutely gorgeous. She’s very tiny, especially when you compare her to our two huge boys. We got her from the Humane Society in March, and a month later she blessed us with three kittens! We gave away two, and kept Fuzzy because, well, we just couldn’t stand to part with all of them.

Yeah! He totally does! Skitzo is only 6 months, so I’m sure you just provided me a glimse of what’s to come. He already weighs what a 1 year old should weigh, so, I’m sure I’ll have to monitor his diet as he gets older. 😃

Seth’s a little over a year, and is 12 pounds, so he may well be a glimse into your future! The shelter we got him from says he may get bigger, they think (and we agree) that he’s part Maine Coon.

Biggie already weighed a whopping 8 pounds when he was a mere four months old, now he varies between 21 and 25! His mama only weighs 7 pounds!

Wow! My cats were both about 3 pounds when I got them at 8 weeks (siblings) from the Humane Society.

Now, 1 year later, [Daniel](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/lizardling/34b8d8a9.jpg) is 21 pounds and Juliet is about 11 pounds. I’m pretty sure that they’re part to all Maine Coon. I don’t think the vet would disagree much, since I found out when I took Daniel in for a visit and we discovered that he was 12 pounds at 7 months old.

Daniel has all the textbook characteristics, up to and including the funky coat. He happily follows me from room to room. He also sleeps tummy side up in the beanbag when I’m not in it.

Not to be outdone, the lovely Juliet sleeps blocking the gap under my bedroom door. This has trained me to never barge out of my bedroom lest I trip or step on her. She also insists on [annexing the back half of my computer chair](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v711/lizardling/5e742371.jpg) when I’m in it.

Oh, yeah, he definitely has the Maine Coon look to him.

Biggie’s clearly got the Manx gene, as evidenced by his gnarly-ended tail, and males with the Manx gene get quite large. He’s also prone to carrying around a little extra tubs, too.

ok this is a question for all you owned by kitties -  
have you ever given your kitty catnip - and what was the reaction?

😃

Pretty much the same reaction!

Except Coo, who’s normally so docile she’s like a ragdoll - until she gets some good nip and then she’s hissin’ and spittin’ at everyone in the house!

We’ve got 2 kitty’s.

[Beauty](http://photobucket.com/albums/b127/jrfranchi/?action=view&current=Beauty.jpg) who is about 5 and is really my Daughter’s cat.
