I know a lot of folks have posted photos of their pets. Here are our 4 umm, sweet little things. From the top:

Sam the Siamese (she’s a girl). Friendly and silent, the opposite of every other Siamese.

Seuar (Thai word for Tiger) pronounced like “Sara” more or less so that’s what I say.

Nit Noi (Thai word for Little One). I saved her life when she weighted only a few ounces. She would be content to never leave my side. No longer little.

Mai (Thai word for “cottony”)

So they each have their own stair step?

Sam the Siamese always takes the top step. The others don’t have any special order.

I applaud you, sir. So many people don’t keep their cats properly organized. 🙂

Are they fetchers, bringers, or ignorers?

Mostly nappers.

Four steps to happiness!

Does eating on the stairs keep them from stealing each other’s food?

Awww, it seems that Mai is a curly one! So adorable!

By the way, I had two cats in the same time once and having separate bowls never stopped any of them to steal the food from each other. They had similar treating, similar bowls, a similar amount of food, but that was never an excuse to not to try the other bowl. When the dog appeared in our home, one of cats started even hijack from the dog’s bowls (she was still a pupster so she could do nothing with it. Even now she’s kind of obeying to the one cat that still left with us and only reason why her bowls are untouched is cause they’re raised)  
So I think this cats have a special temper or maybe they were properly educated. 😛  
…And why Thai names? Just curious, why exactly Thai.

They each eat from their own bowl for a couple of minutes then sit back and relax. At that point anyone who wants to can wander from bowl to bowl without challenge. Except Nit Noi - she goes after the 110 lb dog’s bowl and will shove him aside.
