These are my family cats (I live away from home and have my own catty family now, but I still think of them as mine :) )
Chloe
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c154/Cloakedkungfu/grandads80th088.jpg The mischevious B&W, v clever can turn the TV off if she feels she's not getting the attention she deserves! She's 7 and loves to hunt (and eat brains, only the brains mind!)
Bella
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c154/Cloakedkungfu/Bella.jpg Bella was rescued 7 years ago when she was 11 months old and heavily pregnant. Only when we got her home did we realise how skeletal and matted she was! She gave birth 6 days later and it was highly traumatic, she really had no idea what was happening, she sat silently (both other cats we'd had that had kits had sought human company before the birth), which was terribly sad in itself, even worse was that she had been sitting on her first kitten, it died poor little soul, she had four more kittens, which we cut the cords of and cleaned their faces and placed them to suckle, as soon as they started to feed, something woke up in Bella and she became a fantastic mother (despite several visits to the vet during their first weeks).
The is an incredible soft and affectionate cat, we later found out she had spent her first 11 months forced to live outside and fed on dried dog food. So the fact she is so loving and accepting of people always amazes me.

1994 - Nov 2006. She passed away fairly recently but she was so gorgeous that I thought she deserved a piccie. She was 'boss cat' - the other two are a bit unsure about their ranking now she's gone and my last surviving childhood pet.
So thats the lot....I won't go so far as to post my grandparents cats..you might think i'm obsessed (I just love them all so, they're each so unique and special in their personalities :-D )
