My Cats


SKIDDERS
"Skidders"
was found in a field and the first of my feline family. He has huge green eyes.
I gave him the birthdate of 6/1/98 because of the approximate age the vet
quoted. He came by the name because he loved to skid around the corners and
between the rugs. He likes to take the pipe cleaner toys, unravel them, and then
carry them through the house. I find them in every room. He traveled the show
ciruit and obtained the title of Royal after 5 shows but decided that wasn’t
the life for him so in his own way showed that he wanted to stay at home. He has
always been the "peacemaker" and the calming influence in our feline
family. Skidders went over the rainbow bridge on 5/27/03. He was
12th best HHP in ACFA for 2003
HOPE
HOPE has a tiny white locket under her chin so was can’t
say that she is al black. She was found about the same time as Skidders so they
share the same birthdate. She had been mistreated and because of this it took a
long time for her to trust anyone. She is still shy around people and although
she will get on my lap herself, she will still not allow me to pick her up. In
time......
SABRINA
SABRINA was born June 1, 1997 and weighs in at 6 pounds. She
is a retired Grand Champion American Shorthair and what a lot of laughs she has
given me. She is a ball of fire around this house with more energy than all of
my other companions put together. She slinks up to anything new and usually runs
around with a pony'o in her mouth, which sometimes ends up in my bed. As tiny as
she is she stands her ground and I've seen the bigger guys turn away. She is
truly a loveable comedienne.
ESAU
ESAU is a Blue Classic Maine Coon and was born January 12,
1999. When he came to me at 8 weeks he had long fur, thus the name Esau which is
Biblical for the long-haired one. He is the gentlest of my kits and the
quietest. He makes his wishes known by rubbing against me and looking up at me
with huge eyes. He loves to wash the other kits and will put his huge leg over
one and make he/she lay down while he gives them a bath but when they have had
enough, they wiggle away. His favorite pastime is pulling the hems out of my
clothes and picking threads from all of my towels. He always follows me around
the house and is my constant loving companion.
MAX
"MAXIMILLIAN" or MAX as I call him was born on
April 6, 1999 and is a Brown Tabby Maine Coon. He is long and slender with long
strong legs and makes great use of them running through the house with his bushy
tail held up straight like a plume....but when he walks...... he has a
"sexy" walk as he swings his hips. He has a warm loving personality
and trills constantly. He loves to jump onto my lap and if I am on the phone, he
will constantly push his face against mine to get me to hang up. When I leave to
go to a show, he turns his back on me and ignores me. When he sees me come up on
the porch upon returning, he will talk to me through the window, so I know he is
no longer mad at me for leaving. Max sits beside me when I am working....a quiet
dedicated presence.
JAZZIE TOO
Ultimate Rags Jazzie Too, my RagaMuffin,
was born 08/04/98. He is a Blue Bicolor and was sired by Encore Cats all that
Jazz of Encore Cats Cattery and born in the Ultimate Rags Cattery to Ultimate
Rags Picture Purrfect.
Before Jazzie came to me in 2000 he was
a UFO Platinum Grand Champion and one of the SE Regions Top 20 cats for
1999-2000 and he also became a double Champion in ACFA.
After he was altered he continued on
the show circuit and in 2000-2001 he was named by AACE as National Best of Color,
Best of Breed and Second Best Alter. The same year he was named by the Southern
Atlantic Regional as the Best Provisional Alter.
He is now retired and fits in perfectly
in the household. He and Max became fast buddies. Jazzie is extremely friendly
and loves to be groomed. He stores his glitter balls in the food dishes and
takes them out to wash them in the fountain bowl. When they are clean, he
carries them through the house and then brings them back to the food bowls for
storing.
He is a constant source of joy.
