Not quite sure to be honest. It appears as if they might have some egyptian mau in them. I'll get more pics later on as I'm picking the boys up this afternoon.

I was cleaning out the garbage cans last week, and heard a strange sound in the can that was next.. I looked inside, and told the wife that there was a 'possum' in there!!!
I started looking for something to kill it with, when I realized that it was NOT a possum, but was the absolutely WORSE specimen of a siamese kitten that I had ever seen!!! I grabbed him like a mother cat would have, and hauled him to the bathroom sink, where half of his body weight of fleas went down the drain!!
A trip to the vet (that has known all my animals for the last 40 years), a few shots, treatment for the ear mites, ringworm, and a host of other parasites, and 150$ american, we now have a 7 week old kitten nameed 'Sweety'!!!
We needed another cat like a third eye, but when he flashed those baby blues, we were HAD!!!

He seems to 'adapt well', and can walk past the 2 dogs with no fear, but the other 2 cats have NOT adjusted to the little fir ball that camps next to the food dish!!

Haha, really cute! I could see how in the dark it might look like a possum! That's really kind of you for saving it.. I wish I had more room in my home for some kitties. If people weren't so ignorant and would just spay and neuter there wouldnt be such a high number of strays/ euthanizations...

All my animals are 'prisoners', but have it so well, that they don't KNOW it!!!

I guess that , since we take such good care of them , that WE are the prisoners, since any vacation time is based on 'WHO can come by and FEED'???

Spoiled vermin!!!!

Hahaha vermin... It is kinda true though.. Does anyone have any experiences with those automated cat litter boxes? I've seen good AND bad reviews...

Those kitties look extremely cute. Be patient with them and give 'em lots of love!

i do. they work, but don't hold a lot of litter. one needs to avoid over filling them or they keep running until they unjam. also, they if you go on vacation or forget to dump the receptacle, you can come home to a big mess one of two places or both. my cats prefer deep litter boxes so i don't use it anymore. wanna buy it?

Best suggestion, a 55 gal barell, cut in half!! (you can use it for a BBQ grill during the 'off season' when you are home), We went to a rod run where open fires were not permitted, so I took such a device. When the fire was towering over 15 ft into the air, the 'security' guy came to our camp and asked what was going on. I placed a hotdog onto the infirno, and told him that it was a 'cooking fire' and watched the hotdog burn up and fall through the grate. I told him that it was a little too soon to put the food on, and he went away!!

Use their rules to your advantage!!
