My Babies are Growing Up - Kitty Pics

What darlings. I had never heard of a Mau before. I looked on a couple web sites and they sound really neat. Your kitties look very loved and well cared for.

Our little "used" cat we adopted a couple months ago is settling in very well. Last weekend we took her with us to the farm house, and she really enjoyed herself. Lots of windows to look out of, lots of rooms to explore. She was very vocal on the trip (70 miles each way) but didn't seem upset, just lots of commentary. We got a very small carrier and I carried it/her on my lap so I could keep an eye on her. Does anyone travel with a cat much? I'm hopefulo that she'll become quieter. A friend of mine trained her cat to be a very good traveler, but she started with a kitten. My girl is "about five" the Humane Society thought.

Hi Veronica,

Thank you for posting the beautiful pictures. I also went to your photo album. They are beautiful. I especially loved the photos where the two of them were taking naps together and Cassie sitting on your lap.

Thank you for lightening up my day and please give Tucker and Cassie a big hug from my family.

You're welcome smilingcat!

You are one amazing chick in my book. I could not be a foster mom. But I am so glad that there are people like you who can do it.

Both Cassie and Tucker were fostered before we adopted them.

I've moved cross country a few times with the kitties, and have hauled them away (~5 hrs) for hurricane evacuations. They are all pretty vocal for the first 1/2 hr or so. On long hauls, or if I preplan for the drive to my Aunt's - I've found books-on-tape are wonderful. For some reason the narration keeps the kitties calm, and it keeps me alert. When the tape/CD stops, time for a change, my most vocal cat, Bonnie, immediately starts complaining, but as soon as the narration starts again, she quiets down. So you might try Books-on-tape at your local library, and some truck stops.
