If I did this right, you can click below and see them.

Cheeks is the extremely polite, very bright and funny asthmatic tabby with
EGC or "linear granuloma." She is the one who conquers the rubber snake

and
brings it to me several times a day.

Boo is the tuxedo cat that is severely hyperthyroid and had fainting

spells,
but is now on medication and has a heart rate of 160-170 bpm, instead of
300+ bpm. She is getting fatter! (She is also the one with hyperesthesia,
which makes her say "Mow mow mow" and wag her head if you pet her above

the
tail.)

Gnarly is my girl, the blue cream tortoiseshell who died at age 20 in

2001.
Softest fur in the world, not very bright, very vocal, and buckets of fun.
All of these cats are adopted strays.

I esp. like the "happy cat' one of Gnarly. Plus, IMO, dilute torties &
calicos are just so very pretty.

I love that one too! She really doesn't look mean in that one. When I first
saw her I had never seen a dilute tortie and just thought she was the most
exotic thing ever. i'll always miss her.

The ones of Cheeks on the window shelf crack me up because she just decided
to perform for the camera. She does the same thing every cat does when they
wake up. That yawn killed me--I had no idea she had blotches inside her
mouth! After the last stretch, it was down to the food bowl.

Cathy, you take lovely photos of your cat, I esp. like the closeup of
Demelza in abpa. I am just learning how to use my camera--it is a Nikon
4300. When I put the "red eye out" flash feature on, I get those chatreuse
glowing eyes. Do you know how I would set it to have the cats look directly
at me and not have weird eyes? It is the kind with an auto setting, then a
bunch of things like "day at the beach," "indoor party" and then completely
manual settings like f-stop, speed and such. I plan to experiment when I
have time but wondered if you have any tips.

Very cute kitties. Boo has a "messy" face. One of my friends always referred
to my late cat, Cory, as having a messy face...when there are lots of
assymetrical markings on it.

Thank you. Boo (aka Buddha since she got the big belly) does have a messy
face, and little black spots on her boots that really look like dirt. She is
a purr monster!

I love tuxedos. Especially unusual ones like Boo & Cory. My Bootsie has a solid
black face, but a white chin. It gives her a very petulant expression.

Bootsie and Cory sound beautiful. I am trying to catch Boo when she is
spread
out on her back so everyone can see her bikini. She is pretty much
symmetrical
everywhere but her face. The fur is growing in from the ultrasound of
her heart. But her bikini bottoms are still falling down due to her big
belly.
We are supposed towait until her heart rate is stable for some months before
we tackle
the overweight issue. What is most beautiful about Boo--even though she is a
thoughtful cat--and very laid back and circumspect--all you have to do is
touch her and she will purr within 10 seconds. She loves people. All
people, it seems.
