THIS IS ANGEL AKA BABY KITTY. SHE IS TRICIA'S LATEST ADDITION, SHE IS 8 WEEKS OLD SHE IS GROWING FAST AND HER COLORS ARE STRONG, SHE HAS AN EXTRA LONG TAIL WHICH IS GOING TO BE PLUMMY.
SHE WAS REAL WILD AND CRAZY FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS. BUT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A REAL SWEETHEART, LOVES THE KIDS AND IS ANOTHER LAP KITTY OF TRICIA'S AND THEIR'S.
THE PUPPIES THINK SHE IS THEIR CHEW TOY. SUSIE SHOWED ANGEL TO TRICIA AT AN ADOPTION FAIR THEY WERE HAVING AT EASTER TIME AT THE PARK, WE HAD GONE TO VISIT.
SUSIE KNEW TRICIA WOULD WANT TO SEE HER BECAUSE SHE IS POLYDACTYL, ALSO KNOWN AS HEMMINGWAY. ONE OF THEIR OTHER CATS IS A POLY AND SHE ALSO ADOPTED ONE FROM THE SHELTER FOR SHERRY'S DAD'S GIRLFRIEND.
THEY DROVE DOWN FROM NC, TO GET IT! ANGEL HAS 5 TOES ON EACH OF HER BACK FEET. AND SHE HAS 7 ON EACH FRONT. ACTUALLY IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, SHE HAS THE USUAL FOUR THEN A DEW CALW, THEN A "THUMB", THEN ANOTHER DEW CLAW.
THE LAST THREE ARE A LITTLE SPACED FROM THE FOUR AND HER FRONT FEET LOOK CATCHERS MITTS. SHE HAD PUT A TINY SCRATCH ON A LITTLE GIRL AT THE EVENT, SO THE DIRECTOR INSISTED SHE BE QUARANTINED.
ONE OF SUSIE'S FRIEND'S TOOK HER HOME FOR TRICIA UNTIL THE QUARANTINE WAS OVER AND DIDN'T BRING HER BACK TO THE SHELTER UNTIL TRICIA HAD A DAY OFF AND COULD COME AND GET HER.
SOMETIMES PARVO COMES INTO THE ANIMAL SHELTER AND THE BABIES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN VACCINATED YET ALL GET SICK, THEY PULLED THEIR OWN QUARANTINE ON THE DIRECTOR AND MADE SURE SHE DIDN'T GET SICK AND NOBODY ELSE COULD GET TO OR SEE HER, HAHAHAHA.
ANGEL PASSED AWAY ON SEPT 27, 03
THIS IS SIX, SHE WAS ABANDONED IN THE PARKING LOT WHERE TRICIA WORKS AS A YOUNG KITTEN, IT TOOK TRICIA WEEKS TO WIN HER TRUST.
TRICIA STARTED FEEDING HER UNTIL SHE WOULD WAIT FOR HER EVERY MORNING TO COME TO WORK, BUT SHE WOULD NOT LET TRICIA COME NEAR HER.
THE MORNING SIX FINALLY LET TRICIA PET HER WAS A FRIDAY, SATURDAY TRICIA GOT UP AND WENT TO THE DC AT THE USUAL TIME, WITH A CAT CARRIER IN THE TRUCK.
TRICIA GOT OUT WITH HER FOOD, AND SHE CAME RUNNING AS SHE KNELT DOWN TO POUR THE FOOD OUT SHE AGAIN BRUSHED UP AGAINST HER AND SHE SCOOPED HER UP AND TOOK HER HOME.
SHERRY WAS HAVING A FIT, THEY HAD TOO MANY CATS ALREADY!! SHE WAS AT WORK THAT MORNING AS SOON AS THE VET OPENED TRICIA TOOK HER FOR SHOTS AND SHE BECAME SIX, AND SUPPOSEDLY THE LAST CAT.
P.S. SIX LOVES CHEETOS
THE DARK SPOT IN THE FRONT OF THIS PICTURE IS YODA MAE, SHE IS A VERY DARK SOLID GRAY WITH GREEN EYES, SHE IS A POLYDACTAL, HAVING PERFECT THUMBS ON HER FRONT PAWS.
BEHIND HER LAY WENDY, HER BIO IS LAST.
SHE ALSO HAS NO TAIL OR MAYBE AS TRICIA WOULD SAY A LITTLE STUMP OF A TAIL, ACTUALLY ABOUT DOBERMAN LENGTH, THEY DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS BORN THAT WAY OR HAD SOME ACCIDENT EARLY IN HER LIFE. SHE TOO CAME FROM THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
SUSIE KNEW THAT TRICIA WAS INTERESTED IN POLYDACTYAL, TRICIA AND HER DAD'S GIRLFRIEND LIBBY HAD FOUND A LITTER AT A UNIQUE PET STORE THEY HAD VISITED ONE DAY, IN BRANDON ON A TRIP TO SEE THE AQUARIUM THERE.
THE PET STORE HAS THE PUPPIES IN SMALL CIRULAR PENS AND YOU CAN PICK THEM UP AND PLAY WITH THEM, AND AS MANY AS YOU LIKE, KITTENS ALSO COULD BE HANDLED AT WILL, THEY ONLY ASK THAT YOU USE THE HAND SANITIZER ON THE WALL BETWEEN ANIMALS.
ANYWAY THEY WERE QUITE FASCINATED WITH A LITTER OF ORANGE POLYS, TRICIA HAD HEARD OF THEM BUT HAD NEVER SEEN ANY AND LIBBY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THEM. THE STORE WANTED $100.00 APIECE FOR THEM, TRICIA TOLD LIBBY THAT SHE WOULD FIND THEM ONE AND IT WOULD NOT COST THEM $100.00 EITHER.
YODA MAE WAS VERY YOUNG AND SCRAWNY WHEN SUSIE BROUGHT HER HOME TO FOSTER. SHE HAD HUGH EARS AND SHERRY WAS PLAYING WITH HER AND MAKING FUN OF HER FUNNY LOOKS, SAYING SHE LOOKED LIKE YODA (OF STAR WARS), EVERYTIME THEY WENT OVER THERE SHERRY WOULD GET THAT UGLY YODA LOOKING KITTEN OUT TO PLAY WITH UNTIL THEY LEFT.
SO WHEN SHE GOT OLD ENOUGH TO ADOPT I WENT AND GOT HER, YODA ISN'T A GOOD NAME FOR A FEMALE CAT SHERRY SAID, TRICIA SAID THAT SHE KNEW HER NAME IS YODA MAE. SHERRY LAUGHED AND SAID THAT WAS A FUNNY NAME IF SHE EVER HEARD ONE, BUT IT STUCK. YODA MAE IS THE ONLY CAT THEY HAVE THAT DOES A TRICK, AS A KITTEN SHE LOVED TO SLEEP IN BASKETS, AND TRICIA WOULD PUT SEVERAL AROUND THE HOUSE, ONE WAS UNDER THE END TABLE NEXT TO WHERE SHERRY SITS ON THE COUCH. SHERRY CAN SAY "THE KITTY GET'S IN THE BASKET", SHE DOES THIS WHENEVER SHE'S TOLD. AND YODA MAE WOULD COME RUNNING TO GET IN THE BASKET AND GET PETTED.
SHE IS TOO BIG FOR THE BASKET NOW, BUT SHE STILL COMES AND STAND BESIDE IT. IF SHERRY SAY'S "THE KITTY LOVES IT'S MOMMY" YODA WILL COME TO HER TO BE PETTED. SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO BE HELD. SHE IS VERY TALL IN THE HIND QUARTERS AND HAS A VERY TRIANGULAR FACE AND SILKY LONGISH SHORT HAIR.
CAN YOU FEEL THE LONGISH SHORT? :-)
THIS IS TRICIA'S FIRST HIMALAYAN, HER FULL NAME IS MISHU DALLAS STAR. SHE IS NAMED FOR A BROWN TABBY PERSIAN KITTEN NAMED DALLAS THAT THEIR DALMATION KILLED WHEN HE WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD.
THE DALMATION HAD TO FIND ANOTHER HOME THAT DAY AND ENDED UP KILLING A PUG IN HER NEW HOME AND WAS PUT DOWN. ANYWAY, SHE WAS JUST DEVASTATED AND COULDN'T SLEEP, TRICIA STAYED UP ALL NIGHT, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT SURFING THE INTERNET LOOKING AT PERSIANS AND OTHER BREEDS, BUT MOSTLY PERSIANS.
TRICIA WAS JUST IN A FEVER TO HAVE ANOTHER CAT! TRICIA FOUND AN AD IN THE PAPER FOR A BREEDER IN BRANDON, FLA. WHO HAD A FEMALE FLAMEPOINT THAT SHE WAS SELLING, SHE WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. TRICIA CONVINCED SHERRY TO DRIVE OVER WITH HER, IT'S ABOUT 45 MINUTES AWAY. TRICIA THOUGHT SHE WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING AND BOUGHT HER. AFTER TALKING THE WOMAN OUT OF BREEDING RIGHTS TO HER AND PUTTING IN HER ORDER FOR A MALE FLAMEPOINT. TRICIA LEARNED A LOT THOSE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.
THE BREEDER HAD LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL HIMMIES, BUT THE SNOWY WHITE BODY OF THE FLAMEPOINT WITH THAT BLUSH OF COLOR ON THE POINTS IS JUST SO ELEGANT AND BEAUTIFUL TO TRICIA. THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS BREEDER IS SHE IS ALLERGIC TO CATS. (GO FIGURE!) AND SHE DOESN'T HANDLE HER CATS OR KITTENS MUCH. SHE DOESN'T EXPOSE THEM TO DOGS, KIDS ETC. THEY LIVE A QUIET CALM LIFE UNTIL THEY LEAVE. :-)
STAR HID IN THE UTILITY ROOM FOR A WEEK, THEN SHE MOVED BEHIND COUCH. STAR IS EVERY BIT THE QUEEN. SHE IS ALOOF AND GORGEOUS, WHEN SHE WANTS YOU TO PET HER SHE WILL COME AND TELL YOU TO, WHEN SHE WANT YOU TO WAKE UP, SHE WILL COME AND WAKE YOU. :-) SHE WAS AN EXCELLENT QUEEN, SHE HAD LITTERS OF 5 THREE TIMES AND ONE LITTER OF 3. SHE WAS A GOOD ATTENTIVE MOTHER AND CHECKED OUT PROSPECTIVE OWNERS WITH BIG ROUND EYES.
SHE DAMANDED ALOT OF ATTENTION WHEN PREGNANT, AND INSISTED TRICIA STAY AND HOLD HER PAW THROUGH OUT THE LONG LABORS AND BIRTHS. SHE IS VERY MUCH A LADY AND ALWAYS RECLINES GRACEFULLY WHEREVER SHE IS. SHE IS THE ONLY CAT TRICIA HAS WHO WILL MEOW LOUDLY, AND SHE WILL MAKE YOU CRAZY IN THE CAR, AS SHE CRIES NONSTOP.
SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO BE HELD OR PICKED UP, PREFERRING TO STAND OH HER OWN FOUR FEET AND BE TOUCHED UNDER HER TERMS ONLY. STAR RARELY LETS ANYONE BUT TRICIA TOUCH HER. TRICIA INSISTED ON GETTING PATRICK AT 8 WEEKS HOPING TO DIMINISH THIS STAND OFFISH CHARACTERISTIC. WITH PATRICK, HE IS MY SNUGGLE BUNNY, BUT ONLY SHERRY AND TRICIA CAN LOVE ON HIM, AND HE STAYS UNDER THEIR BED WHEN HE ISN'T ON IT WITH THEM.
THE KITTENS THAT TRICIA BRED AND SOLD WERE FRIENDLY AND OUTGOING AND THEIR OWNERS SING THEIR PRAISES. BUT THEIR WENDY BECAME MORE AND MORE ALOOF AS SHE MATURED, PREFERRING TO LAY WITH AND LOVE ON THEIR FEMALE GERMAN SHEPHERD. TRICIA THINKS THAT CAME FROM LIVING WITH HER MOM AND DAD AND FOLLOWING IN THEIR PAW PRINTS.
TRICIA ADOPTED MIKKA BECAUSE SHE REALLY MISSED CUDDLING WITH HER CATS. WHENEVER PURRPILLOWS HAD A LITTER THEY HAD NO TIME WHAT SO EVER FOR TRICIA. PATRICK NEVER LEFT THE ROOM, WATCHING OVER HIS BABIES 24/7. HE WOULD CUDDLE WITH THEM AND THEY WOULD TRY TO NURSE. TRICIA IS SURE STAR APPRECIATED HIS HELP!!! :-)
TRICIA LIKE DOGS, BUT SHE JUST LOVE CATS. THEIR INDEPENDENCE MAKES HER SMILE, THEIR PURRING IS MUSIC FOR HER SOUL, AND NOTHING SOOTHES HER LIKE STROKING A CAT. PEOPLE TEASE TRICIA AND TELL HER THAT THEY ARE GOING TO START CALLING HER THE CAT LADY, SHE SAID SO! :-)
SHERRY TRIES HARD TO KEEP TRICIA FROM GETTING MORE. SHE THOUGHT STAR WAS ENOUGH. THEN PATRICK. AND SO ON AND TROUBLE IS SHE LOVES THEM TOO. TRICIA WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MORE, BUT SHE SEES THE NEED TO STOP, IT IS EXPENSIVE WITH VACCINATIONS AND FRONTLINE, AND SHE TRIES TO FEED THEM PREMIUM FOOD BECAUSE SHE SEE THEY JUST DO BETTER ON IT.
TRICIA SAY'S THAT SHE WOULD REALLY LOVE TO HAVE A BENGAL, AND IF SUSIE CALLS HER ONE DAY AND SAYS THAT SHE HAS ONE, SHE WILL RUSH RIGHT DOWN TO GET IT WITH SHERRY SCREAMING NO MORE CATS. BUT BOY IF SHE EVER HITS THE LOTTO, LOOK OUT!! TRICIA WILL BUILD A HOUSE JUST FOR HER CATS, AND HAVE AS MANY AS SHE WANTS.
PRRRRR IS A GOOD NICK NAME FOR TRICIA, (NOW I KNOW WHERE THE NAME COME FROM) WHEN SHE WAS 13 AND TALKED ON HER STEPDAD'S CB, HER HANDLE WAS CATNIP. WHAT ELSE!!
THIS IS MIKKA, SHE IS A SEAL LYNX POINT WITH BLUE EYES, TRICIA GOT HER FROM THE SPCA AND BELIEVE SHE IS A RAGDOLL. :-)
SHE IS THE ONLY CAT THAT DIDN'T COME TO HER AS A KITTEN, SHE IS HER COMPUTER BUDDY.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF MIKKA, SHE LOVES TO LAY ON A STACK OF JEANS.
THIS IS PATRICK, TRICIA'S FLAMEPOINT HIMALAYAN, HE WAS A GOOD STUD AND AN EXCELLENT FATHER, BUT BEST OF ALL HE IS HER BEDTIME BUDDY.
BET YOU CAN GUESS WHERE HE SLEEPS FROM HIS NAME. PURRPILLOWS IS HER REGISTERED CATTERY NAME ALSO.
BUT SHE IS NO LONGER BREEDING.
THIS IS WENDY, SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF PATRICK AND STAR, AND THE ONLY KITTEN TRICIA KEPT FROM HER TIME BREEDING THEM, AND SHERRY WANTED TO KEEP HER.
SHE IS A LITLE GIRL AND ONLY WEIGHS 5 LBS, SHE HAS AN ELVIS LIP, CURLING IMPERSONATION THAT SHE DOES.
SHE PREFER THE COMPANY OF THE DOGS OR THE OTHER CATS TO PEOPLE. SHE WAS VERY CLOSE TO THEIR FEMALE GS THAT PASSED FROM KIDNEY FAILURE.
THEY TOYED WITH THE IDEA OF SELLING HER OR BREEDING HER, TRICIA FINALLY DECIDED TO KEEP HER AND HAD HER FIXED.
ALL OF HER CATS ARE ALTERED NOW.
THAT IS TRICIA ON THE LEFT AND SHERRY ON THE RIGHT AND TRICIA'S GRANDCHILDREN.
ALL OF THESE PETS BELONGS TO TRICIA AND SHERRY.
