This is Spice when she was first rescued, occupying the cat cage. It is a great place for temporary housing.

I sent her photo out to shelters and friends getting feedback on a name. Spice was suggested more than once and got the most votes. I and the lady who rescued her had the final say since she was in our care.

She was rescued by Brenda who lives several streets away. I called her Tinker and Tinker Toy for a while because it has been a long time since I had a young cat in the house. She was so small compared to the fat cats who live here.

Later photos of Spice, after she recovered from surgery:

the crazy side of Spice

If she were a real little girl, she would kill me for posting this unflattering photo. We were worried she was so delicate that we held her back from adoption for a while. NOT. If she is not doing a flip as she moves from one place to another, she isn’t happy. She slams into the wall, chairs, hangs from the cat tree with one arm. I ask, Spice, did you hurt yourself? She just drags herself back under the chair by sliding across the rug. You know the kind of cat I am talking about? She and Tiger are of the same personality type. Daredevils! Show offs.

A more flattering photo!

pawsing to give Jellybean a kiss

Patch, Tiger, Shadow and Jellybean!

This is Patch. She has golden eyes and loves to flirt. Here she is flirting with me.

This is Shadow, saying, Look, I can stretch across the whole door and you have to pay the toll if you want to get by.

This is Tiger – a real photo that I made into art.  It captures Tiger’s essence.

Tiger is in the doghouse All the time. He’s a regular Dennis the Menace.

This is Jellybean looking innocent, like he is NOT sneaking up on Tiger.

oops. Thought that was Tiger.

Jellybean is showing off his porky, I mean portly, little bod here. I’ve never had a cat so fat! Or so cute.

I thought Shadow was a beautiful cat, but Hello Jellybean! He’s sweet, too.

What’s cuter than that? Well, besides me.

Now you have met all the cats who reside at this address.

Silver Fox comes through for dinner most days. I’ll get her picture soon. She has baby blues!

That big tiger cat that comes by to eat, I don’t have a name for him. You know what happens when you name them.

Until next time!

Patch, Tiger, Shadow, Jellybean and Meowmy.
