Lola
2007-
Lola is a special case. Krista had her rescued from a friend's house in a neighboring town. She had a horrific looking wound on the side of her head that turned out to be self-inflicted. She was also quite feral... but Krista brought her in, tended to her wounds and pretty much tamed her. She's still quite shy, but will occasionally flop down next to us and demand to be petted. |
Biggo
2006-
Biggo showed up on our windowsill in mid November 2006 and pretty much forced his way into our lives. He was a friendly cat, but fiercely independent and incredibly strong-willed. We think he was left behind when a neighbor moved: no one responded to our posted notices about him. So we brought him in and he's been trying to get back outside ever since.

Yum-Yum
2003-
Yum-Yum may not be a purebred Siamese (or maybe Burmese, I keep getting them mixed up), but she sure looks and acts like one. Fortunately, she doesn't have the typical Siamese yowl. She's the remaining one of the three refugees that we inherited when Krista's mom had to give them up.

Oscar
2002-
Oscar was a one year old Rescued Kitty from the Oak Hill Animal Rescue people (or something like that... forgive me if I've screwed up the name). He was pretty skittish at first, but after a couple of weeks he has made himself at home terrorizing the other cats. He's since become the terrorized one now that Biggo and Lola have moved in.

NuGirl
2001-
NuGirl (formerly named "New Girl," but since (as nearly as I can reckon) she's the thirteenth cat I've had in my "adulthood" I decided to use the Greek letter 'Nu.' Hey, I've got to put my physics education to *some* good use!) is a retired (born in spring 1994) Russian Blue brood cat. She's developed some health issues in her later years: she's lost all her teeth, gained a lot of weight and become diabetic. She's also got some really bad allergies that make us wonder how she manages to breathe sometimes. But she still purrs loudly when you look at her.
