"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened."
– Anatole France
"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you
provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think
you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you
provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion
that they are gods."
– Christopher Hitchens,

Toonces
 |
Toonces is our oldest cat. He was adopted from PawSafe
Animal Rescue in July, 1998. We think he was born in April, 1998.
He's a very devoted pet, following us from room to room.
He is named after the driving cat on Saturday
Night Live. He doesn't like the car, so it's going to be tough teaching him how
to drive.
This is a picture of him when he was a little kitten.

Here's a more recent picture (circa. Summer 2000) |

This is Toonces lounging around the house, Summer 2002. |
Timmy
 |
Timmy is our middle cat. We adopted him in June, 2001 from
Kitty Angels. He's a real cuddle bug. |
 |
He was about 10 months old when we got him. He
was trapped with a feral colony in Lawrence, MA. They neutered all the
cats, notched their ears, and were going to release them all back into the wild.
However, someone thought Timmy had potential to be a good pet - they were right,
and we were lucky. We think he's named after the character
Timmy from
the TV cartoon South Park. |
 |
It took a while for his brother Toonces
to adjust, but they seem to get along fine now. Toonces will sometimes
clean Timmy. |
 |
Timmy loves to sit in the window sill - we think it reminds him of being out in the wild. |
Feeding time at the zoo!
Tessa
 |
Tessa is the newest addition to the family. She arrived on
Sunday, November 9, 2003. She was a feral kitten and only weighed about
2.5# (1 Kg) when she was taken in by
Kitty Angels. She was about 8 months old. |
 |
At first, we were surprised to hear Timmy hiss and growl at her - we
have never heard that from him before. As you can see, they have
become fast friends! |
 |
Tessa finds the shortest route to wherever she wants to go. This may
mean crossing through the stair railing and jumping down in order to
save a few steps. But she's also content to sit or sleep. |
