Ace!

 

AWWW I don't like cats but I wanna pet him

 

He's cute as hell.

 

Great markings

 

My wife and I are rescuers and a foster home. Over the years, we have had an awful lot of cats come through our house.
Inevitably, we end up keeping the exceptional ones ... and the "broken" or defective ones too.
Currently at 14 (I think) but we have had as many as 20 (two litters of fosters) at one time.

As a kind of therapy, I started a blog almost a year ago. If you are interested, it is here: A Feline Nation

However, and this is critical, due to my wife's tireless efforts our house does not smell.
You can't even tell we have cats, unless one walks up to you or you trip over one of the many pieces of cat furniture or toys laying about.

Here is one of the Siamese-mix residents, "Simon" checking out my new ride just after bringing it home.




Warning: I am about to post more pictures of our cats so if you are in any way squeamish about them or plan to make disgusting anti-cat comments, please leave the thread!

 

Here is the rescue-mobile, AKA my wife's Kia back when we "only" had 10 permanent residents.

Here is Sassy (short for Sasquatch) waiting for a meal to land. One of our two Maine Coons, she is also one of our two Polydactyls and her paws are the size of a medium dog's. She is the most prolific hunter and deposits moles and mice and the occasional wood rat or rabbit on the back porch.


Here is Remy, our other Maine Coon - not a Poly, but also a great hunter. He seems to focus on the rather large squirrels we have on our 5-acre piece of paradise.



Here is Ollie (the Poly) when he was a kitten. He is a miniature cat and in 4 years has grown no larger than an year-old kitten.


Bobby here is a Manx, and since we have had him on a diet he is down to about 25 pounds. I know, right? Willow is in the back.



From the top: Remy, Willow, Lila and Ollie.



A better shot of Lila (short for Delilah) in her favorite position.



Here is Willow as a rescued baby



And today. My wife says she's not fat, she's "fluffy."



This is Roscoe (RIP) my one and only Himalayan rescue.
Really miss this guy even years later.


Rocky was another Siamese-mix rescue that went missing over the years. He used to love traveling with us. Here he is in his favorite spot while I am driving our Motorhome on vacation.


Marcus and Ginger are our latest graduates from the "Kitten Academy" ready for adoption in South Alabama. (I can drive to deliver them!)

 

That's a lot of cats!

 

LOL, the avatars just keep getting better. It looks like he saw himself in the mirror and said "what the **** did y'all do to my hair!?!?!?!"

 

I sneezed just looking at all those pics!

 

 

My gf picked him off a farm for me in Iowa and brought him to me in Texas. I love that cat. He is super sweet now, but was a pain in the butt as a kitten. He is a big hunter, always bring birds an mice to the door lol

 

You got some chunkers!!

 

In that picture, he actually could be twins with a friend of mine's little boy when he was young.

All joking aside, he's really cute Patrick.

Still think he needs his mop top though. Its part of his personality.

 

Taught my kitty to shake hands using treats... Now he does it on command.

 

That's pretty cool

 

I don't always like cats,
But when I do.
He has a mustache.

 

his name is lucky(tag)

 

Yah I saved him from a storm drain on Friday the 13th when he was a young lad.

 

And a goatee

 

I love that cat. Keep posting pics
