Hi Everyone,

Pam suggested I introduce my furry friends, so here I am...

Missy - she's about 10 years old and I've had her since she was about 12 weeks old. She's a talker, especially when you're on the phone or talking to someone else. She's demanding and tells you if she doesn't like something. She's very much a "Miss" and thinks she's the ants pants. Missy actually likes sleeping in cardboard boxes rather than a basket. She has lived in Sydney, Melbourne, Darwin, Sydney and now Hong Kong.

Here is a picture of Missy in her box:

Pirate - we don't know how old he is because he was a stray that fell in love with Missy and then realised that he could get through the cat door and pinch her food that she didn't eat. It took about 6 months for him to trust me and let me pat him, but once he realised that I was kind, he loved being patted. At that time he was skinny with hardly any fur on his tail. I decided to adopt him and then found out he has feline aids. Once he was neutered, he became the biggest sook and smoocher. He loves his basket. He's lived in Melbourne, Darwin, Sydney and now Hong Kong.

Here is a picture of Pirate in his basket:

I've had lots of vets say to me "wow, Pirate is a big cat" and my reply is "if you think he's big, you should see my female cat at home, she's half a head taller when they are sitting" (lol)

Here are some other photos of my babies:

Thanks Patricia :)

All the other times they've travelled, I've given them sedatives but this time they weren't allowed to have anything so I was really stressed.

Missy seemed to cope with it fine but Pirate didn't seem to like it at all. At the best of times Pirate is very timid of other people, whereas Missy will chat to anyone who's about and willing to listen or talk to her back :)

They've settled in well and surprisingly settled in well to the fact that they are now housebound. They do have 3 balconies and a roof-top balcony so they still get to go outside but they don't have the trees or overgrown garden to hide in :)

Cute kitty cats :)
My mum always hated cats so i was never allowed to have one so when i moved out i was excited and wanted one for my birthday but hubby bought me an Alaskan Malamute (alot like a husky) which i absolutly love :) She wouldn't go very well with cats and since i had Izzy i've decided that i'm complete without one now! But i still love looking at everyone elses cats ;)
