Horses are our passion. But we rarely travel to a trail ride without a cat. And as with most things that we own Rick has given the cats several differnt names.
Raa has named herself. It is hard to spell right, but it is what she says all the time. She was call Babyest until we got new baby cats. :) She has been to more rides than some of the horses. She even has a history. She was hatched from two grey barn cats that ended up getting killed by a racoon. She was the sole survivor of her litter and is one mean cat. She acts most like a dog, even barking on occassion, and loves being played with. If you see us on the trail ask to pet the world's softest cat. If you come into the trailer she will show you where her food is and let you know that we are not feeding her near enough and ask for food. :)
Rick brought Zip into our relationship, but with time he has made himself mine. He sleeps with me and will come tell me that it's time to go to bed. He is the old man of the house, but with the addition of the latest batch of young cats has been acting younger. Even playing and climbing on things.
If you haven't noticed the inside cats have a theme. All are siamese looking. None are pruebred, but all have that personality. All talk to us for food and just for attention. See below for the latest additions.
If you would like a barn cat we have a few of those also. Click the box to the left to see them.

Babyest at her finest. Life is tough for cats in our house.
This is one of the latest addition. She is Puff. She is half Siemese. Ashley's mom mated her black cat to a registered Siemese and this is what we got. You can see why she was allowed in the house. She matches. :) Left is a baby pic at 2 months old, and right pic as of 12/30/06. Ashley took Puff and Poof when she went back to her mom's but the cats quickly came back. Seems they have bad habits. Ones we still have not broken, but Puff loves Rick and he won't turn her out. She is a great alarm cat. :)
Well, you can see why the Poof is called what he is. Terrorist would be a better name. He is helping keep the older cats young. This is the one that tortures all the TP rolls, sleeps on your feet and attacks when you move, and is just generally a fun cat. He sings very prettily and is most lovable when he is asleep. :) Right are both the terrorists plotting to take over some food in the kitchen. Poof was moved to a barn cat and is now terrorizing the outside cats, horses, and the dog. :)
Cloe is our latest addition. A BG was moving in June 2007 and needed to find homes for three cats. I kept the three inside until Rick forced me to make them barn cats. I put the first two out and they promtly ran off, so the last one did not go outside. :) Cloe or as Rick calls her, WUC (World's Ugliest Cat), is a calico manx. We are learning that manx's don't like the stub played with. Cloe loves being held and is still trying to figure out her place in the inside cat hierarchy. :) One of her two daughters I put outside showed up at the trainers. The tiger striped manx, Sissy, has a great home at Debbie's. So now she has two of my cats. And they are all happy. Just need to see if I can locate the other daughter.
Witta is one of the world's softest cats. She was to be a barn cat, but matched the others. Witta recently went to live with Amber. Poof was making her hate life. She is know for not coming out of hiding for days.
