Awesome!

And you have a saddlebred? :yikes: :scared: :dunce: :evil: :jitters: :yikes: :scared: :notimpressed: :notimpressed: :notimpressed: LOL, that's about the mood swings my HALF saddlebred can go through in a 5 minute period! Then he goes back to eating... You are brave having a "real" one, hehe. Big babies though, gotta love em!

Wow!

They all sound beautiful!
I'd love to see pics, please?

Herbs is a Chocolate point Siamese and totally edible :lol: Chez is a Red point and thinks he's a harrier jump jet :roll:

no, to be honest the saddle bred is really laid back. he is more like this on a normal day... :drool:. but he does have his moments, he is scared to death of frogs...and birds...and ponds...and plastic bags...it's a rather long list to name everything he is scared of. he is a bit of a wuss. but he is really laid back, he is 24 years old after all! i love him so much!!!

my cats are really odd. my siamese is very social, yet she bites everyone when you try to touch her. she only loves me and my husband, we are the only ones that can touch her and not walk away bleeding. the oriental shorthair is really laid back, and a bit on the fat side. and the snowshoe is such a momma's boy. i'll gather some pics in a bit after i wake up!

Oh, I love this. It's so nice to see all of you snuggled up together.

Mine are a bit like that too, it's as though they have a homing beacon for 'the warm spot', they'll snuggle up together a lot of the time but if you stay sitting somewhere long enough, they both climb up on or near you, just like in your first picture. With potentially five of you piled up together this must be quite something to behold! lol

Grendel looks a real lovey-dovey softey and quite gorgeous too, is he the youngest? The other two look lovely as well, but with all cats, to some degree, they are the ones that make the rules, I think.

What is Sissy sitting in ... a horse trough??

You're right the picture of Moonbeam is very cute, makes you want to put your hand on his nose, they're always so soft!

Thanks for sharing the pictures :thumb:

grendel is VERY soft. i love to just pet him, plus he shows such emotion it makes it extra nice. he is a total mama's boy and he always has to be the closest to me, as you can tell from the first picture! and yes he is the youngest. he is 7 years old, meyoko is 10 years old, gearean is 8 years old, and sissy is 9 years old. but they are all so very sweet and perfect in their own way.

sissy's picture is kinda funny. she loves to lay and sleep in flower pots. there are no flowers in it. the other ones have flowers in there, just not that one. so i put soil in it so it is soft, so she is my flower! she is also my "yard bird" at time because she also likes to lay in the bird bath.

and moonbeam has the best nose in the world! i love to give him nose kisses.

i'm happy you like the pictures! and the puffs are doing great also, the new heater is working great! :D

Thought I'd post a few of my two on here as well.

Herbie and Chester at their 'cat TV' spot, I call it that cos they sit and watch the birds and squirrels for hours.

Herbie and Chester, fingers crossed? lol

Herbie (she's 5yrs old)

Chester (he's 1.5, just a baby really)

Sissy makes a very lovely flower :)

They all such lovely pictures, you know, maybe we should post them in 'Other photos' as well, to give everyone a fair chance to see them?

In any event, this is very nice, and I'm very happy the puffers are doing well with their heater :D

your siamese looks much more siamese than mine. it is almost like mine is a "mini" version of one. meyoko is 10 years old, and is about 6 pounds, and so tiny. yours is very lean and long, with a nice triangle shape to the head. here are some better pictures of the cats so you can see how cute and funny they are!

grendel again, such a flirt! how can you say no to those baby blue eyes?!?

meyoko attacking my father in law. this is very typical of her...teeth showing...going for blood...
