She looks a lot like Lorchen's Guinness. She's very cute . . . and a little monster! Although she's half Jazzy's size, she beats the crap out of her every chance she gets.

I love all the photos of the fur babies!
And Nancy - I love your cats' names - The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies of all time!
I'm definitely a cat person. So since this is show-and-tell, here are my boys...

Attachment {!-- ia2 -->Ramses.jpg{!-- ia2 --> not found

Attachment {!-- ia1 -->Sethos.jpg{!-- ia1 --> not found

We got Ramses and Sethos as babies 4 years ago. Sethos is a hunter and has brought us "presents" of birds, rodents, snakes, and even a squirrel. Ramses has never killed more than a fly, as far as we know, but he loves to watch my son's gerbil and my daughter's bearded dragon. My guinea pigs scare both these boys for some reason...
{!-- ia0 -->Ivan.jpg{!-- ia0 -->
Ivan was a surprise. I didn't wake up that morning thinking I'd have 3 cats by the end of the day, but these things just "happen"

My neighbor's cat had kittens and I never saw them until she had one left without a home - and it was love at first sight. Surprisingly, my husband agreed to keep him (he's a cat lover, too, but we already had so many pets...). Little did we know he'd be so "Terrible" - his name is perfect! The photo is him "helping" me quilt my Russian quilt last week. Maybe he thinks it's his since he's named after 2 tsars. I had to try to quilt this quilt with him: laying on it, playing with the threads, attacking the machine (breaking a needle), and even chasing his tail while on it

Luckily, he's pretty light-weight and I had a nice pool of quilt to work with around the needle for most of his craziness, but there are plenty of "kittie interventions" in the quilting of this quilt - jerky lines, wavy lines, etc - where he pulled on the quilt or jumped on it while I was quilting and made me have to protect him/the needle. I could have picked the wonky parts out, but I like them as a reminder of Ivan's crazy kitten days. I'll always look at the imperfections in this quilt and laugh at his antics. (Even though I was cursing him at the time

What memories! Reetzbobeetz, yep, Lance is pretty resigned to having the kitties use him as an electric blanket. I think down deep he likes them, but he doesn't want anyone else to know! Nancy
