Welcome to Gaia! ::

hello there, my name is kottikomai
i have always loved cats and most of my relatives own cats as well .. and i hope to one day become a crazy cat mother .. like my mother .. tho she's not really crazy .. and i am completely obcessed with cats .. i meow at times, and many of my friends refer to me as kitty ... now on to my kitty.

my single kitten at the moment is named Kc .. she's a grey and white short hair, and she just recently turned one. she's a energetic and talkative little girl who has staked claim of my couch and has two favorite spots in my apartment .. the high window sill above my bed .. and my bathroom mat .. which is almost always covered in her fur dispite the fact that i switch it with a clean one every day ... because to her its just a personal kitty bed .. just like evrything else in my apartment.

my mom has all my other cats and refuses to return them because they're her family now .. she has a total of 7 at the moment .. and luckily they're all fixed .. but she's always there if a stray needs her help. ok ill give you a little summary of all her lil babies. and if you were wondering she lives on a farm so they have tons of space ..

Zane : he's the oldest of the bunch he'll be four in july. he's a black long hair with the disposition of a mob boss. we saved him as a kitten when his mother left him for dead down at our barn because he had a inch long worm living in a wound in his head. maybe thats why he's so angry all the time. also he is in love with my mother and will jump to her shoulder the second she walks in the door.

Lillian: she's the second oldest of our bunch .. she's almost three. she's a calico turkish van. and she's the daughter of one of our barn cats (who's no longer with us) named Calypso. lily used to be a very affectionate cat .. but when her only sister Chloe died last year she became very antisocial. she also has her own lullaby that we used to sing to her and her sister as kittens.

Philip Dante(Phil for short): he's the younger brother of Lillian, and almost 2. hes black and white, and has the same marking pattern as Lillian. he's the most layed back of the bunch.

Sala: she's Phil's sister (same litter) and she looks exactly like her mother and her late older sister Chloe. she's a slim, short haired calico. she's also the most distructive of the cats because she likes to eat any food left out especially butter.

Ari: he's also from the same litter as Phil and Sala. he's a grey and white short hair and he was the most social of the kittens when they were young , but now he's too busy hanging out outside to be very social.

Laddy: he has the same father as Lillian and her siblings, but he has a different mother, tho he was technically raised by Sala .. because she had her litter around the same time as his mother (Evita) and his mother just left her litter for Sala to care for. he's a short haired orange tabby and he's the most social of the bunch. and he's almost a year old.

Elisa: she's Laddy's twin sister just with longer hair and more white. skittish like her mother, but she has the softest fur on the planet .. also she's usually found sleeping on my mother's bed because she has a bad paw and a weak heart.

other mentioned cats
Calypso: she was a barn cat at our old farm .. who came when called .. and was very social.. she was killed last year by coyotes in while protecting her last litter. (Phil, Ari, and Sala)

Chloe: was Lillian's only sister, she was a short hair calico and was always getting sick, she spent almost every moment with her sister, before she died. she died a month before her mother because she got into some rat poison in someone else's barn. she was the strangest of our cats because she loved water, she would play in rain puddles outside the house and crawl in the shower with you and paw at the pet shampoo until you gave her a little wash, then she'd do figure 8s between ur legs till you finished your shower.

Sala's Kittens: Sala had 2 kittens Eros and Luke .. they were given away .. they're almost one and they're both black and white short hairs. Ero's lives with my older brother and his other 2 cats, and Luke lives with a friend of my mother's.

Evita: she is a grey and white tabby, deathly afraid of people, and very small for her age .. or 2. she refused to leave the old farm when my mom moved to a new one last month.

Tommy boy: not actually mentioned by name but he's the father of most of our cats .. he still lives in the space above the tack room of the barn at our old farm. hes old scarred and VERY antisocial.

we've had many other cats .. but they dont live with us any more .. tho one lives with my dad out in the city .. but i'll post about her later.

Hi Everyone! I am Sara, my username is Madokamari... I would prefer if everyone here used it instead of my name for now ok? Anyway I have had several cats in my lifetime all special in their way. But the one that meant most to me is in heaven already... she died last year. She was Tortoiseshell.
Her name was Blackie. The story of how I got her is really pretty awesome. I was coming home from school... The school bus dropped me off and I was walking a block to my house. I got this feeling like something was behind me and lo and behold there was a tortoise shell cat there. I asked the cat, my Blackie... is she wanted to follow me home and even before that she had let me come up her and pet her she wasn't afraid at all! Most would have been. I think she must have been an alleycat or a home-owned cat at one point before I got her. Anyway I asked my dad if I could keep her and he asked if I would take care of her and I said yes and she had been with me ever since!

Now, I am with my mom and She has 9 cats not counting my new cat who I got purely out of luck. I can't even begin to go into details... it gets complicated. Anyway, Her name is Therese. And she doesn't replace Blackie, but she is just as loveable. She is very active... much like a kitten! and just as michevious! but I love her all the same and she loves me! I know this from the way she kisses me and arches her back when I pet her--- no cat other than her that I know of arches her back in happiness...Like my dear Therese. She talks to me too... How a delight she is! I love my little Therese!

But I add I love all of our kitties here!

Hello my name is sierra and i have two kitty brothers! one is older than the other by about a few minutes! In my house there are two cats. (Though I wish they were still kitties!)We (me and my sisters) found them in a bush beside our house and we wanted to save them because we see dead kitties all the time around our area. And we wanted another kitten to have. The bush was very hard to get through and it was big, so we only got to 3 out of 6 before the rest ran away and the momma cat came. (She has kittens a lot! and all of them mostly die from getting hit by cars) a lady walking by with her dog (she walks by everyday) was helping us find them. So the 3rd kitty went to her for her older daughter. We took the other two into our house and not wanting another cat after already having to lose 2 in a row (they died a little less than a year apart) my mother (who gets very attached to animals) said we could only keep them till they were old enough to not be fed baby kitty milk. Then we would give them to the humane society. Of course she eventually got attached to the kitties and we kept them. I’m so glad that we did that because I couldn’t handle being without cats and if we didn’t one of the ones we had probably would have died because he was the runt and wouldn’t eat when we tried to feed him milk.(we tried everything and eventually had to shove it down his throat!) One liked me and one took a liking to my dad so one is mine and one is his. Now mine’s name is Coal (the runt) short for charcoal because he’s all black with white whiskers. The other is Max short for Maximo because he was super fast as a kitten. Max is like the pic.

(That’s not him though because I don’t have any pics of him on the computer)
Now Max is the one who is skinny and Coal is a natural Garfield. Max is kind and loves to play and be petted but not being picked up! Coal, now Coal is whole other story! Coal is fat and lazy. He’s mean and bites even though I tell him no. But Coal is such an angel to me. He loves to be petted and held if it’s me. And he bites my mom which is mean! BUT I love him any ways.And that is my kitties story! NOW! would anyone like to hear my other kitties story??? blaugh blaugh xd

Hi, I'm Ellie! I have two adorable kitties, both brothers (though they look nothing alike).

Sandy: He's a smallish white cat with brown splotches all over him, and he looks like a scoop of vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup all over it. He's very fuzzy and is always getting into things. He likes to bat at the toilet paper rolls in the bathroom and unravel them. He also enjoys sitting on top of the shower when it's not being used.

Blackie: A largish black cat (creative naming, I know) with white paws. He is very loud and never stops talking (even at 5 in the morning). He likes catching things in the backyard and batting at feather balls (his favorite toy). For some reason, he likes to lick my fuzzy pink pony plushie in my bedroom. Go figure.

Both of them can understand a few words in English too (their names, dry food, food, outsy [that's what I say when I let them into the backyard], catnip/n**/C-A-T-N-I-P [yes they know how that word is spelled because I've said it so many times], and bad). I <3 my kitties!

Hi, I'm Lindsay.

I have two cats right now, and have grown up with countless others. My main man is Kitty, and the other one is Slapper. They're both terribly adorable, and both male. Of course, being weird, I did name Kitty myself. My mother named Slapper, because he slapped us a lot when he was a baby. We raised them from newborns, off little kitten bottles from the SPCA, and we've grown attached to them. Very, very attached.

Kitty is completely white. Of course I have no clue what breed he is since we raised him ourselves, from an old cat that lived on our roof. (She pushed all her litters off the edges, so we had to rescue them all and raise all of them. Most we gave away, a few we kept. We had to put one cat down when he turned about twelve or thirteen, and the other one was vicious so we had to give her to the SPCA, unfortunately. Anyway, he has bright green eyes, pink paws and pink ears. His nose is pink, and he is pretty furry.

Slapper (he is with my old, fat cat in this picture) is an orange/brown cat. He has tiger stripes and a little M on his forehead. His stripes vary from dark brown, to dark gray, to black. On his chin is a little patch of white, and he has black circles around his eyes with a little touch of light brown in it as well. His eyes are a mix of brown, green, and yellow. He is the smallest one of the two we have now. He is also the most loving, as he cuddles up with every person he sees and tries to take a nap. He has really never shown violence in any way. He never bites and never claws purposely. Most of the time, he is purring extremely loudly, something you can hear from across the room.

Hi, I'm Anna. I LOVE animals (but cats are my favorite, of course 3nodding ) I have 5 indoor cats, 3 dogs, and to many outside cats to count (strays, I live on a farm, all of them are pleasantly plump, aka fat xd ) (ALL my pets are spoiled beyond comparison heart ) Here are a couple pics of my indoor babies (they're all Devonrex cats my mom shows competitively heart ):

Hermes, my baby boy. I rescued him off an ant pile when he was a kitten.
Mossy Pumpkin, his niece
Moon-Sugar, Mossy's sister and Hermes niece
Patches, missing a few toes and had to have her tail removed due to being trapped in someone engine. That was before we got her
Luke and Holly, Maine Coons and lap cats to boot. Their old owner got rid of them when her husband had a stroke.
