Welcome to my cat pictures.

They aren't very good pictures. I took them a couple years ago with a Snappy from a video tape. The cats are hoping I'll get off my butt and put up better pictures. Until then, you can send postcards of my cats here.

This is our boy kitty, Caesar. He is our official meeter and greeter. He loves company, having his belly rubbed and schnurzling your ear with his nose. He comes when he's called. Recently, my friend Terri (a high-powered attorney from Detroit) expelled him from the cat kingdom because he acts like a dog. We love him anyway.

This is my personal taskmaster, Hobbles. She is very spoiled and believes that I should spend the entire day sitting in the La-Z-Boy, petting her, combing her and handfeeding her tuna. When she doesn't get her way, she tells me off in no uncertain language. She is also the defender of our house. Without her, no doubt geckos would be overrunning us by now.

This is Alyssa. (We didn't name her! We just call her Lyss - rhymes with kiss.) She loves to lie on the waterbed and have her belly rubbed. But she hates to be picked up or held. When she wants affection, she is not to be denied. Lyss is our champion hair shedder. She also likes to jump to touch the top of doors or to hang on to the side of a doorframe. She is very strange. Oh, and don't let the kitten-like picture fool you. She is about 9 years old but the vet thinks she is getting younger all the time. Just what we need - a reverse-aging cat with a hair-shedding problem!

This is Spook. She lived on the streets for the first 6 months of her life so she isn't a really friendly cat. Unless you're me; then she wants to sit on you all day long. She is the only one of our cats who doesn't like a good belly rub. She also hates being picked up but loves chewing on silk flowers. She is the designated whiner of the group but don't tell her I said that.

This is Thunder, named after Dan Majerle (ex-Phoenix Sun) during the NBA Finals against Chicago. She likes to ambush the other cats and sleep on my bad knee when I'm not awake to defend myself. She is tiny but she can easily simulate a 5 ton boulder.

This is Zelda. She is a completely neurotic cat who clings possessively and pees on carpeting when irritated. Do you want her? Seriously, she is very loving and performs the important function of licking the hair spray off your hair and performing a purring scalp massage while you are sleeping. She is not easily discouraged. You can probably tell from the picture that she tends to be a bit grumpy.
