My current cat is Titchy #4. The 1st Titch died of feline leukemia, the 2nd & 3rd disappear around the time of the Royal Show(big event in my city held every year) which is suspected they were skinned for their fur.

The current Titch, started life as a stray and had problems trusting stangers. Now day she has mellowed, but still sint very trusting with complete stangers. With me she is completely trusting and takes to following me around the house (sits on the second chair in the computer room, jumps onto my bed in my room, even follows me into the living room some times)

Definatly an indoors cat. I've seen birds land just in front of her and she didnt move an inch. And she sure as hell doesnt hunt mice.

But we're trying to steal our neighbour's cat, but she's shy.
We did that once, kinda, our neighbor got another dog, a crazy dog, their cat couldn't take it, so one time I found her, she looked thin and famished, she probably hadn't dared go home again for a month or so, so I got her something to eat at our house and from then she started sitting outside the window from time to time, wanting to get inside and after a while, it was our cat, she lived with us for many years after that, I think she became 10 or so, then we had to put her down due to a nasty infection.

It happened to one of my friends - his cat spent less and less time at home, and one day it turned up with a new collar. Then the nieghbours emigrated and took it.

Nope, no cats. Don't know how the dog would handle one.

Plus, I'm allergic to cat dander. However, a friend of mine has 3. The oldest, an orange tabby, is 21 or 22, somewhere around there. Gent's only problem is his arthritis in his hind quarters. The lone female, Mrs. B, looks just like the cat from Austin Powers, white and fuzzy. The baby, Quackers... I'm not sure what he is, but he's beautiful. His tail is as long as his body! He's fluffy and his coat is an orangish brown color. His name comes from the way he mewled as a kitten. Jason thought it sounded like he was quacking like a duck, henceforth the name Quackers.

My dad's allergic, so we never had a cat. Had a couple of Keeshonden, though.

I have no cats, but my sister has two. When they are visiting I call them "Number One" and "Number Two", as in Cat#1 and Cat#2, or if I'm talking to a particular cat just "Cat" (I'm the kind of person that has conversations with pets...).

This usually bugs my sister to no end. If I want to bug her further, I pick the cat up and pretend to speak for them with a bad austalian accent "eh! I want some food over here!"... to which she replies: "They're not Australian!"

Two cats, sisters of the same litter.

Star (whom Nitram calls StarKitty). A gray striped tabby with an orange star on her forehead above the M. Skinny as a rail, skittish around everyone but Nitram, who can even pick her up and carry her about the house.

Tev, a black tortoiseshell with an orange star on her forehead. Getting stout cause she loves to eat, but not overweight. Very pushy about getting petted.. if you're sitting or lying down she comes running, hopping up to be petted.

I have no animals, currently, but I love cats more than any other animal (as pets, anyhow).

My parents once had a male cat called Emma, (no, I am not the child of a homosexual couple) but that was before I was born.

Today, I never have lived in the same house as a cat, but I do very often see a lot of cats.

My neighbours have a dog named "Boy." It's a girl.

My cat seems to get along with my dogs. He's a pixiebob and a freak at that. Seems he is an Xcat because he has six toes on both of his front paws. One is small enough to push the last on out so it looks like he has thumbs. We expect to come home one day and see him on the couch witht he remote in one paw and a coffee cup in the other.

I OWN my cat and have him 'pussywipped' (if you will excuse the pun). My wife babys him, but I treat him no different than the dogs.

Not allowed any animals that don't have cages or aqueriums...

Welcome to yosemite, then again I am surrounded by "Dogs"(Coyotes) and "Cats"(Pumas & bobcats) plus rodents (Mice, rats & Squirrels), raptors, Bears, and everything else.

And who has begun to nibble on my arm when I'm cuddling her. I can't tell if it's affection or not.

I've told you before, love... it's her trying to suckle on you. They were not yet weaned when I got them from the vet's office, so they still have that trait when they're totally content and happy.

Three cats that we keep sort of half in the house and half-out; we've got an enclosed atrium that they stay in.

One is a tricolor ragdoll that loves attention. He's always running up to us and demanding attention, then rolling all over the floor... and when picked up he goes limp so I think it's safe to say that he's a ragdoll.

The other two are partly Siamese. One is black with a white boots fur pattern, and the other is gray with the same pattern. He honestly looks like Tom from Tom & Jerry, right down to the attitude...

We have two cats here. A fluffy, peach coloured male named O'Malley and a tabby female named Isabell. They're both big. People always seem to say they're the biggest cats they've seen. They both come to their names, talk back, run to you at the snap of a finger and we taught O'Malley to fetch (if you can believe that). Isabell seems to have a kitty eating disorder though. If anyone goes even remotely near the kitchen she has to rush to her dish and eat. It's as if she thinks we're going to steal her food.

Both my mom & stepmom own "Teen Mother" cats (cats who got pregnant and nearly died when they were still in their first year of life). "Pesto" is a Yellow and black "Tiger cat" (Yeah, the Yellow looks green when she's dirty, thus the name, not to mention she's crazy for Basil). "Bit" is a black and white calico (Cow cat), also called "Little Bit", "Byte" and "Gateway" She is always found chilling at windows or enjoying that enourmous patch of Mint that my dad has in the garden.... "First you get the Mint, then you get the toys, then you get the money."

I've got two from the same litter. They're about 3 years-old. The first is Mr. Yellow an orange tabby. And the Little baby of the family is Ms. Black (no not that sebacean) a tortoise, named by error because of her very dark coat.

I have a cat, very solitary and not to friendly.
