Our Kitties

We now have four indoor kitties, Rudy Poo, Candy Ass, Smokey, and Stilts. Rudy and Candy are baby sisters we adopted in 1999, and Smokey adopted us in the Spring/Summer of 2001. Stilts was an interstate rescue in June 2006. We are also owned by an outdoor kitty we have named Midnight. He comes around when he wants to be loved or needs some food - I think we are just one stop of several. For an outdoors cat, he's also very sweet and surprisingly social.

Rudy Poo

Rudy is the alpha kitty in our home. She's also the smallest, weighing under 10 pounds. But don't let her small size fool you - she rules this roost. She's also a daddy's girl through and through.

Candy Ass

Kitty Candy is our nervous child. She will jump at the slightest sound or movement. She loves to be brushed and have her tummy rubbed. Oh, and have I mentioned, when Rudy's not around, Candy rules the roost? She's also a cross between being a Mama's girl and a Daddy's girl.

Smokey

Smokey Boy is our only little boy kitty. Did I say little? He's the biggest kitty in the house! He has the cutest tummy that wobbles when you pet it, but then he gets a little mad... we love to tease him about it. Smokey showed up on our back deck with the sweetest face and personality, probably was almost full-grown but not quite, and very hungry. I couldn't resist such a face. He loves to play, but the girls just tend to hiss, so he plays with his Daddy a lot, and loves to be in the same room with his Mama.

Midnight

Sweet little outdoor boy - very social, but irregular in his visits. We'll see him a few days in a row, then we won't see him again for a week or two, sometimes longer. He loves to be brushed.

Stilts

Challenging Rudy and Candy for the alpha position is our youngest and newest "child," Stilts. Blowing raspberries... and seeming to enjoy her new life with plenty of food and no interstate cars to dodge.
