Our 13-year-old Siamese, Nookums was originally named Fairway for the golf course where my husband found him on as a 5-week-old kitten. The name didn't stick, but he has! He shares our house with two female cats, a calico named Little Craze and a ginger named Sister. He has tried (unsuccessfully) to teach them non-aggression, but he's going to keep on trying until they understand.

Although her name is Little Craze, her Daddy always calls her "Sweetums." We adopted her from the local veterinarian's office. She was promised to someone else, but when they didn't pick her up, she was ours. She takes her responsibility to let us know when it is time to eat very seriously. If we (try to) sleep in, she comes and stands on Steve's chest until he gets up to feed her, Nooks and Sister. She is the "Bestest."

Hobbies/Interests: pouncing on my adopted big sister Crystal, teasing the foster dog Bruno, chasing the laser pointer, napping and drinking from the bathroom faucet.

Background: I was part of a litter of kittens dropped at one of Los Angeles' high-kill shelters. Fortunately for me and my siblings, some wonderful girls from Much Love Animal Rescue picked us. I was shifted around between a few foster homes and my foster wasn't very good about getting me to the adoption events. I ended up with moving in with Nancy (aka Mom) who eventually just adopted me because she says she fell in love with my "goofy personality" whatever that means.

Quirks/Personality: a chatty girl, but not overly so, voracious appetite for food and play, I refuse to eat kibble crumbs and I throw them out of my bowl in every direction. Not a big fan of people food except for ice cream and chips (potato, tortilla, nacho cheese doritos--doesn't matter I love them all). Overall I'm just a happy, affectionate girl.

Areas of Needed Improvement: Mom says I need to learn how to bury my poop... whatever, at least it's in the litter box. And although I'm getting better, I'm still a bit of a skittish girl who startles easily at sounds and movements.

This is my Yowler. She was in a very crowded shelter and I got her when she was about 4 weeks old and less that 14 ounces. As you can see she is a "little" bigger at 6 years old. She gives me only "Sandpaper Kisses" and I love them all.

This is my 6 yr old Maine Coon, Scout. This is his favorite place to sleep and this is the way that he sleeps most of the time, no matter where he lays. I was lucky to be able to adopt him from a shelter that is a no kill.
