With Two Cats in the Yard

Mellow and Jameela actually ran the house. We just lived there to satisfy their every need and add to their comfort. Like children, they required constant love and attention, had to be fed and taken care of on schedule. They determined the schedule. Resistance was futile. :-)

Now, both Mellow and Jameela are gone and we've added other cats from other places to this gallery. Some were in our yard. Some belonged to other friends or family members. We left our house on the hill with a backyard. We lost Mellow several years ago and two years ago we lost Jameela to fatty liver disease. We added Afreeta to the family and also Sweet Pea. From January, 2011 until February, 2012, we were blessed to have Scampers with us. He died suddenly at 1 year of age. Despite the loss, there's always the urge to take in another cat needing a home and lots of love. Now, we've added a blind cat named Shatar (which means clever in Arabic) to our home.

This is their gallery.

Looks like your kids are just as rotten as mine. But we wouldn't have them any other way.

Eldar Kadymov		21-Jun-2006 20:51
I should say exactly the same things about our two small bandits who run the house :-) ! This is very sweet, charming and well put together gallery ! Bravo and GMV

Kathy's boy friend Greg		25-Mar-2006 22:25
They say that behind every great person there is a greater cat. It is obvious to see that these two cats are greater than Palu or Kathy. Although Paul and Kathy are two pretty cool cats themselves.

I can see that one has you under its spell, just look at that stare. I get the same look when I have been using one of our cats as a model for too long.
