Our Cats Photo Gallery

Here's our Maine Coon cat at about a year old relaxing in a bathroom sink. Now that he's full grown, he won't fit into this once favorite resting spot. Maine Coon cats aren't fully grown until about age 3 to 4 years. You can read more about him you can read about him in this blog post: Maine Coon Cats.

The Maine Coon decked out with a Christmas bow. He actually puts up with some decorative outfits well for a cat.

A gray tabby we once had. She was sweet and well-behaved. Unfortunately, she died suddenly and unexpectedly at about age 12 with no signs of physical distress.

Our big orange tabby enjoying some sun. He was our youngest cat when this picture was taken and now he's our oldest living cat as of 2011. He's sweet but high-strung like all of the orange tabby cats we've owned or been acquainted with.

The Maine Coon and the gray tabby investigate a plastic bag left on the floor. The Maine Coon still loves plastic bags and will pull them out of the trash to play with them if he gets a chance.

Here's our Maine Coon not too long after we got him from a local rescue organization. He's very young at this point, probably about 14-16 weeks old. He was already obviously going to be a big kitty cat judging from the thick tail, huge ears and big paws.

Here's a cute picture of our "old man" black and brown tabby resting on the gray tabby while the orange kitty looks on.

As our black and brown tabby got older he was always in search of a warm place to rest. Here he is on top of a computer monitor. I guess he wouldn't have liked new flat screen LCD monitors. He lived to be 18 years old before dying from cancer.

Here's our orange and white shorthair resting on the bed. He was originally a farm cat and only had one eye due to a vicious attack by a dog. After the attack, we rescued him and took him to the vet to get fixed up and fixed. He lived indoors afterward but the lack of an eye never really slowed him down. Sadly, he died of kidney disease at age 12.

Here's another kitty pile on the bed. Notice that the Maine Coon, who is about 6 months old at this point, is about the same size as the 2 adult cats.

Yes, it's another cute picture of the Maine Coon when he was a kitten. You can see the muscular frame and big bushy tail he's developing though.

This is another shot of our "old man" black and brown tabby on top of the fish tank. Not only did it provide warmth but also hours of entertainment.

Another photo of our "old man" black and brown tabby, this time, relaxing on the bed.

Our orange and white tabby caught cleaning a "personal area" on the bed. You can see how his eye, lost in a dog attack when he was an outdoor cat, is missing in this picture.

Here's a photo of the Maine Coon right after getting a summer close haircut. He really loves the attention after getting such a close cut.

Here's the Maine Coon taking a nap, covering his eyes. It's one of his favorite and most cute poses.

The Maine Coon taking over my home office chair.

This is the orange tabby enjoying a little TV in bed.

Here's a picture of a little black cat we had. She was a stray kitten that showed up at our door begging. We took her in, got her spayed and she lived with us a while. Unfortunately, she did not get along well with other cats and had to go to live elsewhere where she could be the only cat in the house.

Here's a photo of a cat and her just born kittens. We found the pregnent mother cat abandoned near a boat ramp and we had to help her out. She had her kittens a few days later. One kitten from the litter died, we kept one and the rest, including the mom, got adopted out.

Here's the kitten we kept from the litter in the earlier photo. He's quite a cute little boy. He's grown up now, a little stuck up sometimes, but still cute and capable of being sweet when the mood strikes him.

Here's the kitten in the last two picture as a grown young man. He's quite a character who loves to illustrate his zen like calm except when confronted by his nemisis, a spray can of any type.

This snapshot features our Maine Coon (once again) when he was a kitten taking on a Norfolk Terrier we had adopted at about the same time. In spite of the enthusiastic play, they got along quite well. Unfortunately, we couldn't take the dog along with us when we moved but a lady who worked for our vet was able to take him in.

Here's our Maine Coon and our black and brown "old man" tabby snoozing on the couch. It really illustrates the size difference as the tabby is a average sized adult cat at about 7 pounds.

Here's the Maine Coon cat getting a little too friendly with the gray tabby. They were both fixed as young kittens but occasionally they would engage in this behavior.

Here's our "Russian Princess", another black and brown tabby. We got her from the pound when she was near the end of 'death row'. She was previously owned by a old Russian lady and she actually responds to Russian words. She is perhaps the sweetest cat we've owned. Sadly, she developed squamous cell carcinoma. Being the fighter she was and with great treatment from our vet, she held out for almost a year after the initial diagnosis. However, her condition had advanced to the point that she had to be put to sleep on November 23, 2011.

Here's the "Russian Princess" cuddling up with the Maine Coon and the gray tabby not too long after she came to live with us. Notice a favorite toy, paper grocery bags, in the background.

This is a photo of our Russian princess showing off her very furry toes.

Here's a picture of our new Persian kitten. He's quite a cute little boy. He's sort of a replacement for the "Russian Princess"

And this is another picture of our new doll face Persian kitten. Doll face Persian cats, otherwise know as traditional Persian cats, don't have the flattened nose of newer breeding lines of Persian cats. As a result, they're free from the respiratory problems common to the lines brachycephalic (flat face) Persian cats.

And another one of our Persian kitten. His color is called "Golden Tabby". He has streaks of gold in his thick black and gray fur.

Here's one more of the Persian kitten. Here he's hanging out on a deck table, surveying his 'kingdom'. We don't let him roam around outside, of course. He just gets to go out for photo ops.
