2 of my cats like my warm bathtub water to drink (while i am in it of course) hae bowls of water in their room and the livingroom which is also for the dog but they like that warm water my other one likes to sometime+s sit on my chest when i am in the tub he is my ear sucker and has to have that comfort.... he also is the one who lays in front of me at my computer....have one who likes to lay on the back of my computer chair while im in it or on top of my ham radio where it is warm my 3rd one usually sleeps under the bed and comes out when he wants attention... have one that insistes on meowing after we are in bed for attention which results in him getting kicked out of the bedroom along with the other 2 ...

Okay...since this is kitty show and tell...here are mine!

Callie is our little old lady -- she will be 15 on the 4th of July! You would never know she's that old! She is the Queen Bee in the house that's for sure! Actually there is a story behind how Callie came to us. I helped with a fundraiser for a girl with Cystic Fibrosis (which both of my brothers had) and she needed money to get a double lung transplat. We raised the money, she recieved her transplant, but in the end we lost her. Callie's mommy was Becka (the CF girl's) cat. So Callie's full name is Callie Rebecca, after Rebecca who fought so hard to live.

Lacey and Lexi, came to us via our daughter and her tender heart. Some of her boy friends (friends that are boys) found three kitties and they were only three weeks old. I really think their mommy was just scared away by the boys. But anyway she called us and we told her to take them to a vet, not to bring them home (I knew what the outcome would be!). The receptionist at the vet office took one. But they couldn't take the others. Because of their age we took them to PetMart to see if they could take them and nurse them then adopt them. Well...they gave us the bottles and the formula. We were told to "foster" them until they were six weeks old, then bring them back. Well...it's been 5 years now and we still haven't taken them back!

Oh, and we have our silly Sadie too! She's an Aussie with "prick" ears...that's a breeding fault. Her nickname is "Gizzmo".

My cat, Pewter, found abandoned by a friend on a 10 mile hike is now 10 years old. She eats in the garage & when done
eating, always finds something, such as a leaf, to place on top of her dry food, to show she is "done".

Peaches, the kitty in the window in avatar is the most loving, sweet congenial cat. All three of my cats are indoor kitties, but do take them out in the backyard when we can be with them, for they are leash kitties. One day, Peaches surprised me. He was hunkered down in the iris bed stalking the birds and squirrels, as any cat would do. He knows they come to this spot, for the squirrel candy was bolted on the trunk right above, and the bird bath was three feet away.

Well I had other plans for Peaches and just went over and picked him up and we went and sat down in the grass so I could brush out his loose hair with the Furminator. He hissed and fussed (normally he doesn't) and just protested the whole time. After time to come in he was still mad at me; even when I showed him his bowl of food he hissed and walked out of the room! I could almost read his thought; "Don't ever interrupt my hunting session again!"

She looks just like my crickett. She likes to be in the middle of my sewing machine when I am trying to work.

My husband tells me that Cesar(inherited cat from my daughter)disappears when I go to work and shows up in the living room only when I get home from work. He ignores us but has to be where I am all the time. At 5am he will jump on the bed and claw my side of the until I get up and feed him his Defurrums for the day.Has to be under foot when I sew.

BizzyBee, your Lexi and Lacey at 3 weeks old were much larger than my Bitsy was at 9 weeks old! She was the runt of the litter, and her entire body could fit in the palm of one of my hands. All of your furbabies are so adorable!!
