Titus

Titus is my BIG FAT FLUFFY kitty. We got him to be a playmate for Shatner. Shatner's playmate went to the Rainbow Bridge and Lauren and Peri (my RB kitty) were older and didn't want anything to do with a 4 month old kitten. The funny thing is Titus and Shatner don't like each other...oh well LOL He's a big sweet dog-like kitty who drive me nuts sometimes.

Here's a few photos of my fluffy cat!

Shatner...

Shatner's story.
We had a cat named Lucy that disappeared (she was really a neighbor's cat but decided she wanted to hang out at our house more than his) and I really missed her and wanted to get a kitten that would be completely indoors. My aunt had a friend that had a cat that had kittens and on October 31st, 2004 I got this adorable little white fluff ball.



He was only 4 weeks old but he came right up to me and wanted me to pick him up. I knew I had to have him. While he should have stayed with his momma cat a little longer he ended up coming home with me that night.

How he got his name...
Shatner when I brought him home immediately went exploring. My husband and I were trying to come up with a name that would fix our new little explorer and we started thinking about William Shatner. He played Captain Kirk and Captain Kirk was an explorer of the star albeit a fictional one but the name Shatner fit!

Shatner is no long that tiny little kitten. He's grown into a big sweet handsome boy.

Welcome to Life with 8 crazy cats

Hi, I have 8 sweet, funny, CRAZY cats and a husband. The cats are our kids. I decided to start this blog to showcase my beautiful kitties and show all their crazy antics. I'll introduce each one in an individual posting.

My oldest is Lauren.



She's an 11 year old Siamese mix. Lauren is known as the diva cat. She KNOWS she's the queen of the house and will not take no for an answer. She is so expressive with her eyes and a very loving cat. Even though she's almost 12 she still acts like a kitten.

November 1st, 1999 is Lauren's "gotcha" day. I had to put to sleep my 9 year old sweet boy Sam in the middle of October and had a kitten that needed a play mate (her and Peri never did get along) so I went over to the local mall to the pet store and there she was. She was the last of her littermates and she was the gorgeous grey siamese mix kitten. The moment I saw her I knew she belonged to me.

November 1st is also my aunts birthday and I happened to have her son with me when I picked out Lauren so we headed back to his house. My cousin was the one who came up with her name and it fits her very well.

Lauren is well loved in our household. I can't imagine not having her even though she's getting older and her time is shorter than I wish it was. I pray to have many more years with my sweet girl.

Next time I'll talk about Shatner...
