This is Bubbie, her name is really Bubba, she (yes I said she, I kind of goof up on genders ALOT, it is now a family joke!) anyway she is 9 years old and very jealous of the babies.

Squeaky, she is 6 years old is her Daddy's girl and can give you the dirtiest looks! This is her librarian look! I tell her to "Do fall down kitty" and she flops on the floor waiting to be rubbed!

Nicky, (original name of Natalie! OOPS!) he is a 3 year old big ole lovey buddy. He loves to be scratched and falls at my feet ALL the time.

They are so cute !!! I can't wait to see the rest !!!!

Snowy is also 3 years old and he is wonderful with the babies.
He lets them lounge all over him and is the most tolerant of our "Katz".

Pepe (aka Pepe Le Pew, due to stinking like a skunk when we took him in!)
He is the big bugger in the family. You are going to play with him whether you like it or not. He will pick on the older and younger cats until they run just so he can chase them! And boy is he fast!
He is 2 years old.

AWWWWWW Diana they are adorable. I love cat's!!! Such wonderful pets. I can't wait to see the others.

This is Prissy, she is also 2 years old. You would know why we call her Miss Prissy if you could hear her scream when she wants to go out on the back porch! We took her in when she was abandoned by her Mama, she was about 3 weeks old and I got to bottle feed her and show her how to use the litter box. Boy that was fun!

Cute kitties!

Olga is 1 1/2 years old. I took her in when I found her on our deck crying. She had her neck all twisted with her head laying on the ground. I thought she had a broken neck. It was an extremely bad case of ear mites! So bad her ear drum was ruptured and she is possibly deaf in one ear now. She has been with us now for 1 year. But since the first week when I kept her isolated to treat her ears, I have not been able to touch her. Not even ONCE! She gets along with the others great, just afraid of people (unless you have food!)

Ralphie is 5 months old and bugger #2. He really is a little darling! He loves to play and jump on anyone (cats and people alike, "Look out flying cat!")

He is polydacktyl (spelled wrong) he has 24 toes! 6 on each foot.
Which is why he is also known as Big Foot!

This is my Toby. He is 6 months old, but only about a 1/3 of the size of Ralphie. He is a Manx, which means he doesn't have a tail.
Some Manx's have a stub, but poor Toby has nothing. He is completely incontinent, and I am now making diaper # 5 to help us both out. I think I finally figured it out. He is the sweetest little fellow. I love him to pieces!

Thanks for letting me share my family with you all!

Dh won't let me take his picture!

You have a beautiful family!

Can I ask... why is Toby your Special Baby?
They all look pretty special to me.

SewCrafty · 10-22-2002, 06:59 PM

Thank you ladies, my kids are the greatest!
(All Moms say that don't they?)

Yes Sherry they are all "Special" to me.

But Toby is my "special needs" baby. My entire family thinks I should put him to sleep because he can't control his urinating or
bowel movements (he has no nerve endings in his genitalia).

Because I was never able to have "human" babies, these are my babies and it is inconceivable to me to do that to him just beacuse he was born this way. It is the same as I would feel about a child born with any birth defect.

So I'm still trying to figure how to make a diaper that will stay on him. I posted awhile ago to see if anyone could help me. Everyone had great ideas, but so far everything I've tried he can slither right out of! His fur is just too silky soft!

When I finally figure it out I will post another pic of Toby with his diaper.
