Julliette

Ever since we got a black Romeo we said we needed a white Julliette! We finally found her 5 years later, in Tennessee. Actually Jerry's sister found her, and called us to see if we wanted her. Of course we did!!! She only weighs 8 pounds at a year old, so she may not get as big as "the boys"! She has learned to hunt from Tiger and loves to stay out all night prowling (I guess), then she comes in mid morning and finds her pink and white fleece banket and snuggles down to sleep the rest of the day, after she purrs for a while! She first discovered the babies' fleece blankets, so we had to make her, her own! Last week she tore ligaments in her tail, we took her to the vet. Who knows how! We say she was trying to hang out with the opossums! She actually has made friends with 2 yearling deer, they follow each other around in the lawn, and sometime chase one another! Jerry even saw them touching noses one morning! She's a rascal!

Tiger!

Tiger was our 2nd kitty that we rescued... we found him in a tree, while a friend and I were walking one day. Neither of us thought that we could take another kitten home and the tree was in someone's yard, so we left him there! Well, surprise, Jerry said "why didn't you bring him home?" We tried and tried to come up with an original name, but kept coming back to Tiger, because the way he walked and moved was like the tigers we see in the zoo! He turned out to be such a sweet cat, if you hear rumbling from across the room it is probably him purring! He sheds fur something fierce though! He constantly brings little critters that he has caught, to the door, so we can see... and praise him! He weighs a womping 16 pounds, and has a white bib, belly and "boots"!!!

Romeo!

This is Romeo! Our first kitty, who came to us as a kitten that was almost eaten by a dog! He was such a lover, we named him Romeo! Now he is Mister Independant and doesn't want us to touch him too much, except when he is in a mood and then he won't leave us alone! He is spooked by just about everything, probably from his younger days of torture from us! Yeah right! He weighs in at 18 pounds, mostly muscle some how, yet he will easily jump 4-5 feet in the air trying to get a bug! Growing up in a house of no kids at all, he will have some adjustments to make, when the kids come home!
