Beautyful, cute cats!
I love it when they do this

Beatrice had a slight heart murmur when they did her vaccination a while back, so I had them do and EKG before had. They determined that she had a slightly enlarged heart, which x-rays later confirmed. Don't really fully know what that means yet, hopefully just more money to spend.

They are adorable.. so many wonderfull catpics About the heart issue... all brothers of my cats have serious heart issues but all of them are treated with like on heart pill a day that needs to be mixed into the food or somehow put into the cat. So to me it sounds pretty undramatic what Beatrice has. I would think youll probably won't have to do anything special. And if it might come down to giving her a heart pill every day.
and I love the picture of them sleeping and of course the one with Tipps under the blanket.So many cute cats in 2+2.. amazing!

Eowin,
Yes he is an Abyssinian. They are arguably the oldest breed of domestic cat and have a well defined, consistent set of traits that the wiki sums up well.
"Abyssinians are extroverted, extremely active, playful, willful and intelligent."
They are known for being somewhat hypoallergenic. Many cat allergy suffers are not affected by Abyssinians. They also are unique among domestic cats in that they have ticked fur that gives them that "wild" look. ie 4 colors on 1 band of hair rather than just one color.
This statue from the MET Museum is from the Ptolemaic period (332–30 B.C.) Egyptians used them for pest control and were they often found under their owners chairs in tomb scenes. As you can see they are very similar looking to the Abyssinians of today.

They look very majestic. Like Eqyptian Gods/Godesses. (but to me almost any cat looks liek a godess
) But theses look extremly eqyptian I think.. very beautiful!And I think I have heared the allergic part before. Is it true, can you confirm this?

These are my cats, They are indoor/outdoor cats I cant remember the last time I saw them use their litter box. I am also allergic to cats but for being long hair cats they don't shed much at all except at the change of seasons when they loose their winter fur. Thats the only time I noticed hair around. I feed them Friskies (soft and hard food and Nine lives soft food).
Blue, He's he father of the second one names Kitten. These cats are awesome they have a mane like a lions and tails like a fox. (I think they may be part Somali cat)
This is Kitten. He got his name after his mother her name was Kitten and we could decide on a name so I just started calling him kitten to get him back in the house when it was time to feed them.
In before LOL you need to straighten up your table.

^^My cat Puma
Question: I'm getting married in a few months so my fiance will be moving in with her cat. My cat is male, about 1-1/2 yrs old and full of energy. Her cat is female, 5 yrs old and fairly calm. She has explained that her cat "doesn't really like other cats". Any tips or tricks on bringing these cats together?

My first cat did not like any other cats an when I got my 2nd Cat she was terrible to the new cat. I just did not make any fuzz of anything - just behaved normal with both of them, did not give more attention to the new cat (like protecting him and stuff) and left them to sort of clear it by themselves. And I never gave them the impression that anything would change if they keept being terrible with each other (I sort of ignored it) only took 2 days and they where fine.
I truly believe cats are really smart and they sense if they can get away with something or manipulate you into doing something - so if you are not paying a lot of attention to the new situation they will be fine.
Maybe leave them enough space seperate from each other (dont put the food right next to each other in the beginning, get a seperate litter box and so on - make sure each one has a safe place to retreat).
GL to all of you!

I guess I want have to tard up the EPL thread anymore with my cats.
The Lounge I introduce you to Cowboy and Carlos who are brothers who just turned 9 months old:
Carlos:
Cowboy:
Both are of these kittens came from a friend of my girlfriend and I who couldn't keep all 3 kittens in the litter. We took all three but gave the girl of the litter to my girlfriends mom.
Bonus pic of all three from back in July - L to R: Zoe, Carlos and Cowboy
I initially just wanted one cat but when I was around Carlos and Cowboy I immediately changed my mind and needed both of them. Cowboy is definitely the more social cat, always wanting to play, chirping at us, waking us up in the morning. Carlos is really hit or miss, either wants to lay on you for hours or hide in a closet. I've always been a cat person but hadn't owned one for 6 years since my childhood cat died and I couldn't imagine not having them.
