Damn... LostInThe80s... you've got a regular feline convention goin' on there!!!

Caligula... Chaos is going on 6 years old. Both cats are about 13 years old... they're moving pretty slow these days, they just bask in the sun, sleep, and eat.

On November 12, my only pet, Peaches--a neutered male (and black-haired) cat--died. He was run over by a passing car, in the early morning hours. He was six years old. :(

My 25-year-old sister, however, has four pets! (But only one of them--a seven-year-old cat named Lucy--is staying in Oxford, Mississippi with her. The other three stay at home...with my mom and me.)


two dogs: Benji and TJ
one cat: Lucy
one bird: Amadore

No pets, but my parents have a goldfish, a couple of beta fish, and a cat. I am partial to the goldfish 'cause she has died and come back to life about 3 times now :D

From 1987 to 2003, I've had 30-40(??) cats.

The names I've used more than once are...


Miss Kitty: 2 cats
Peaches: 2 cats
Tiger: 5 cats


Tiger is my favorite cat name. But I'm also partial to Miss Kitty.

I had a 7 y.o. American Pit Bull Terrier, but when we moved, I let her stay with my in-laws in Colorado. She's very happy, fat and sassy there. :) Years ago I used to volunteer for Pit Bull rescue, and I used to take in lots of dogs, but since having kids and all, I really don't have much time to do that, unfortunatley. :(

I have never owned a cat, and never will. :p

**********************:lol: yes we do but don't have any mice!

Molly & Hamtaro are miracle kittens. They were tiny when born and their mom died when they were just a couple of weeks old. Sassy had had a litter just a couple of days before so she took the three babies like her own. 1 kitten died and the other 2 were so little but very determined. Their little legs were like toothpicks and we would have just did away with them if they were suffering but they weren't. Puffy (their father) would watch over them...when they were strong enough to eat reg. food and started to be able to walk without falling...he had a heat stroke (even though our cats have plenty of food, water, shelter, cool places to be) and he died. Molly and Hamtaro are beautiful long haired young cats now and both have an "M" on their forehead markings. :)

We have two dogs, Austin, who we got as a puppy two years ago, he was wondering around on the street and somebody saved him, and had him at a horse show. My girlfriend saw him and fell in love.

Our other dog, Donnie, we just got last week, he's part sharpei and part something else.

That stray cat should be a whole cat. Therefore, you actually have two cats.

See? Every time they start talking in foreign languages YOU KNOW they are talking about you ;) I bet they were sayin': "Parles-tu francais aussi?"/"That TopCap, she's got great hair." "Oui, je parle francais un peu"/"I wonder if she could cut my hair like John Reznick of the Goo Goo Dolls?" :D Don't worry. I can translate pretty well. I'm sure that's what they were saying.

I've been trying to teach my babydoll some Spanish and I'm used to it :)

I have two dogs. Maggie, my senior citizen, is a poodle-terrier mix of undetermined age. I've had her for 11 years and I think she was at least two when we got her. Mistie is the baby. She was two years old in October. She is a Peekapoo.

I tried to attach a picture of them, but it's too big. I'll try to resize it and see if that works.
