My kitties are my kids. One day, I was sitting at my PC and noticed that two of my outside cats were staring at something. I figured it was a mouse. As it turns out, it was a tiny tabby kitten on its back with its feet up in the air, frozen in fear!

A couple of weeks later, I was wishing he had a mate to grow up with. Be careful what you wish for, the universe will provide! I was visiting a goodwill store, and I heard a very distressed MEOW. My protective instinct kicked in, and I began to look for the kitten.
The kitten was running, trying to find a place to hide. I finally caught her with the help of an employee. Someone had dropped a litter at the back of the store the night before. This was the only one left. She looked to be a couple of weeks older than Tubby, and she was also a tabby! I took her home and named her Tippy.

They give unconditional love, and they have a way of relieving any stress you may have. They are 5-years-old now. They love being with me when I'm doing artwork, or at the PC, cuddling in my lap. They enhance each day with joy.
