Baby Nanners

Hi!  I'm Baby Nanners, although my human pronounces it Babynanners. She told me I was named for another kitty who's gone over the Rainbow Bridge.  As far as I can tell I look a lot like the other kitty.  I'm the only boy kitty in a litter of three that lives with our mama in the human lady's back yard, along with Big Daddy.  I'm scared of Big Daddy. Aren't you?

Big Daddy

I don't have much to say. I've had a hard life. But then I 'found' my lady human and now I share her backyard with a few other kitties that were also homeless.  The lady feeds us twice each day. We know when to expect her; we're usually out waiting on her.

Sometimes when I don't seem to be feeling well, the lady will give me this really good treat that has a hole in it, with something crunchy inside.  Then I start to feel better.  This picture was taken a few months ago. The lady calls me Big Daddy because she thinks I'm related to the other kitties that live here.  You can decide for yourself.

Nubbins

Okay, okay, I'll post something.  I'm really not 'in' to blogging, though. But since Big Head and Button have posted, I guess I'll have to go along.  You see, I live outside with them.  We patrol the big yard belonging to our humans.

I guess you figured out why I'm called Nubbins. If you haven't, tough toenails. I was wandering the streets a few years ago, shortly after Hurricane Katrina, and I saw this sign in the yard of a very nice house.  The sign said, "Good Home to All Stray Cats."  So I decided to check it out. And five years later, I'm still here!

Button

Hello Everybody!  My name is Button. I showed up at my humans' house when I was a kitten.  My mama human was very intrigued with me, especially when she saw my front feet.  They are very large.

See how big my front feet are?  I have at least two extra toes on each foot.  I look like I'm wearing mittens.  I was probably about half grown when this picture was taken.  I'm much fluffier now. When I find more pictures I'll post them.  Big Head and I are really close friends.  In fact, it's possible that we are related.  I'll explain later on. Bye for now.

Big Headed Orange Lily

I decided to post this closeup of my head, since it's supposed to be so BIG.  Since Big Headed Orange Lily is such a long name, my humans now just call me Big Head.  The mother of my female human calls me BH. She must be too lazy to say two words. Whatever.  I really like her though. When she comes to visit I'm always ready for some lovin'.  She likes to put me in her lap and sing "You Are My Sunshine."  She has an awful voice, but she means well, and since it doesn't happen too often, I humor her. She's sweet.

Pandora

I really don't know what name to answer to; my given name is Pandora. Apparently there was some myth about some Greek gal who was told not to open a box or something, and she did anyway. Then all this bad luck or stuff started happening.  Anyway, I like boxes. So my human thought, "awww,  let's call her Pandora."

Somehow that name got changed to "Dooks."  Don't ask me. I'm not human so I can't explain it.  My BFF is FBB. We play and chase and otherwise wreak havoc among the other felines with whom we share our house.

F.B.B.

I am F.B.B.  That is the name I prefer to be called, although the long version is Fluffy Boy Bebop. Now you know why I like F.B.B.  Besides my male human, I live in a house with four other female felines and one female human.  One day I will explain my name, but let's just say that it's complicated.  Part of  my job is to keep my humans awake most of the night by 'chirping.' I look as though I would roar when I speak, but I'm actually very soft-spoken; thus, the 'chirp.'

Lily

I am very camera-shy, as you can see.  I live with a very sweet human and her husband. My human is the daughter of the human who lives with Buster, Susu and Dixie.  I despise that human. I will not let her get within two feet of me without growling and hissing at her. Just the sight of her infuriates me.  When I am in a better mood I will post a picture of my face.  I'm just not a morning person, and didn't have my 'face' on.

Dixie

My name is Dixie. Don't I look like a southern belle?  My human found me at Pet Smart about seven years ago. She hadn't really planned on getting another kitty, but when she saw my gorgeous self she couldn't resist.  I'm sure glad she changed my name from "Doorstep," which was the name the people at Pet Smart gave me.  How ridiculous.

Susu

I'm Susu. In case you are wondering how my name came about, the daughter of my human named me after a character in the Ginger Rogers/Ray Milland movie, The Major and the Minor.  The character's name was Susu Applegate, a grown woman who pretended to be twelve years old in order to ride half-fare on a train.  It's a cute movie. I've watched it several times.  Although I would not have lied to get a reduced fair. That is wrong; but this is a movie so we have to suspend reality a little bit for entertainment.

Buster

I am the patriarch of my little family. I have had my human for almost eighteen years now. She still has no clue that I am in complete control, and when she begins to suspect that she takes orders from me, I lull her back into her fantasy that she is in charge.  It's gotten to be quite easy over the years; now I don't have to try very hard any more.
