EVERY CAT IS BEAUTIFUL IN ITSELF. EACH ONE HAVING ITS OWN CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY; YET THEY ALL SHARE A SIMILAR QUALITY....THAT OF SHOWING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TO EVERYONE. AND SO HERE IS A SHORT COMPILATION OF ALL THE KITTIES MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED WITH OR BEFRIENDED ALL THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. YOU CAN EXPECT THIS ALBUM TO GROW AS WE CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT CATS WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF OUR LIVES....FOREVER

OUR VERY OWN KITTY WHOM WE HAVE CONSIDERED A SON.....LOVING, MISCHIEVOUS, CARING, SMART, PLAYFUL, FUNNY, ADORABLE, LOYAL, STUBBORN, SHY, STRONG-WILLED, BIG EATER, PICKY......ALL THE SAME WE LOV HIM WITH ALL OUR HEARTS!

HE SLEEPS BESIDE US ALL THE TIME....BUT NO MATTER HOW SOUNDLY HE SLEEPS, HE WILL ALWAYS WAKE UP WHEN WE DO

NOW THAT WE NEED TO BE AWAY FROM HIM, WE JUST CAN'T HELP MISSING HIM WHILE MY SIS AND FAMILY LOOK AFTER HIM FOR US. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM AGAIN...HOPEFULLY SOON,

ONE OF MOM JANET'S BABY.......A VERY GENTLE, LADY-LIKE, LOVING, SWEET, QUIET AND SHY KITTY. SHE IS SO PRIM AND PROPER THAT I CONSIDER HER THE LADY OF THE HOUSE....SO ADORABLE AND CUDDLY....WE LOVE YOU SUZY,

ALSO MOM JANET'S BABY AND MY HUBBY CONSIDERS HIM THE WILD ONE. BUT TIGGER IS ALREADY 15 AND I BELIEVE HE IS A VERY LOVING KITTY WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE HIS OWN CAT. HE IS AN ACTIVE KITTY FOR HIS AGE, HE LOVES THE ATTENTION ALTHOUGH HE TRIES NOT TO SHOW IT. SWEET AND LOVING IN HIS OWN WAY. HE MAY NOT RUSH TO THE DOOR TO MEET YOU BUT THE MOMENT YOU ARE INSIDE HE TRIES TO STAY CLOSE BY YOU. WE LOVE YOU TYG TYG,

FRIENDS MAKE LIFE MORE SPECIAL.....AND SO WE HAVE COME ACROSS AND MADE LOTS OF FURRY FRIENDS AS WELL ALONG THE WAY.....SOME ARE HOUSE KITTIES WHILE SOME ARE SHELTER KITTIES STILL LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES AND FAMILIES. HERE ARE SOME OF OUR BEAUTIFUL FURRY FRIENDS......

AUNT SHEILA' AND UNCLE BOB'S BEAUTIFUL KITTY GIRL....SHY, PENSIVE, QUIET, LOVING......

OUR FRIEND JENNIFER'S BABY......PLAYFUL, FRIENDLY, SMART, SWEET, STRONG-WILLED

OUR FRIEND BETZY'S BABY.......VERY SHY, INTROVERT, SMART, BEAUTIFUL, SWEET..........

ONE OF THE KITTIES THAT WE ALWAYS VISIT IN THE SHELTER....SHY AND GENTLE....HE IS TENTATIVE TO STRANGERS BUT ONCE HE WARMS UP TO YOU HE WOULD FOLLOW YOU AROUND FOR SOME LOVE AND AFFECTION. AND WE ALWAYS GIVE HIM A LOT OF IT,

ANOTHER SHELTER CAT THAT WE ALWAYS GET TO VISIT......THEY ARE ALL SHY BUT VERY LOVING! YOU CAN TELL THEY ALL NEED LOVE AND ATTENTION.

ONE OF THE OLDER SHELTER CATS.......VERY QUIET AND SHY, GENTLE AND SO LOVABLE,

AN OLD SHELTER KITTY WHO HAS BEEN SO MUCH IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD. HE IS SUCH A WARM AND LOVING BOY. HE HAS A BROKEN JAW AND I ALWAYS MAKE IT A POINT TO GIVE HIM SOME GENTLE LOVE AND ATTENTION

A BEAUTIFUL SHELTER KITTY WHO IS SHY BUT AMIABLE..............

SWEET LITTLE SHELTER KITTY WHO PURRS EVERYTIME YOU PET HER. SHE CAPTURES OUR HEART WITH HER SWEET AND GENTLE DEMEANOR.

HE SURE LOOKS LIKE ONE BUT DOESN'T NECESSARILY ACT LIKE ONE......HE IS JILLIAN'S PARTNER IN THE SHELTER AND HOPEFULLY, THE TWO OF THEM WILL GET ADOPTED TOGETHER! DESPITE HIS NAME, HE IS A FRIENDLY GUY AND A BEAUTIFUL KITTY TOO!

A FRIENDLY AND PLAYFUL SHELTER KITTY.......ONE SO SWEET, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WISH YOU CAN HAVE HIM.....THE ONE WHO ADOPTS HIM WILL BE A LUCKY FAMILY!

GORGEOUS, ISN'T SHE? NO WONDER SHE CAPTURED MY HUSBAND'S HEART....A LITTLE STRONG-WILLED KITTY BUT SHE JUST NEEDS TO BELONG TO SOMEONE. AFTER WHAT THESE KITTIES HAVE BEEN THROUGH, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THEY JUST NEED A HOME AND A LOVING FAMILY THEY CAN CALL THEIR OWN......

A BEAUTIFUL CALICO KITTY IN THE SHELTER.........YOU CAN TELL SHE LONGS FOR LOVE AND ATTENTION BECAUSE SHE WOULD MEOW WHENEVER SOMEONE GETS CLOSE TO HER.....SWEET KITTY. YOU JUST CAN'T RESIST PETTING HER.....

NO SHE IS NOT JUST WINKING, BUT THE SHELTER VET HAD TO REMOVE ONE OF HER EYES, AFTER IT WAS BADLY INFECTED. THESE KITTIES WERE RESCUED AND THE SHELTER DOES ITS BEST TO PRESERVE THEIR HEALTH AND GIVE THEM ANOTHER LEASE ON LIFE EVEN IF OTHERS GAVE UP ON THEM. SHE IS SUCH A SWEETHEART.....

SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL SHELTER KITTY WHO MAY SEEM ALOOF AT FIRST. ONCE SHE GETS TO KNOW YOU SHE WILL CUDDLE WITH YOU AND LOVES TO BE HELD AND PETTED......

HE IS ALSO A SHELTER KITTY AND HE SURELY LIVES UP TO HIS NAME. HE GOES UP TO YOU AS SOON AS YOU ENTER THE DOOR AND HE IS SUCH A FRIENDLY KITTY YOU WOULD WANT TO PICK HIM UP RIGHT AWAY AND HE LETS YOU HOLD HIM FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANT.....

SHE IS BEAUTIFUL IN HER OWN RIGHT.....SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE SHELTER KITTIES AND SHE HAPPENS TO HAVE DIFFICULTY MOVING AROUND. BUT EVEN THEN, EVERYTIME SHE SEES US, SHE WOULD STRIVE TO GET CLOSE TO US SO WE CAN HOLD HER AND PET HER. SHE IS SUCH A DARLING KITTY!

A LOVELY SHELTER KITTY...SO FULL OF LOVE AND AFFECTION AND VERY CUDDLY! HE NEVER HESITATES TO GO UP TO YOU FOR SOME ATTENTION AND THE ONLY THING THAT COULD DISTRACT HIM WOULD BE FOOD....BUT ONLY WHEN HE IS HUNGRY:-)

A LOT OF THE SHELTER KITTIES ARE ALSO SUFFERING FROM SOME FORM OF AILMENT AND REMO MAY BE ONE OF THEM BUT HE NEVER SHOWS IT OR DOES A GOOD THING IN NOT SHOWING HIS PAIN AT ALL. HE IS SUCH A VERY LOING AND ADORABLE KITTY! NO WONDER HE IS A FAVE OF A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS. HE IS SO LOVING YOUR HEART JUST MELTS WHENEVER YOU HOLD HIM!

HEREE ARE MORE OF OUR LOVABLE FURRY FRIENDS AT THE SHELTER......SOME OF THEM WE ARE STILL GETTING TO KNOW BUT ALL OF THEM EQUALLY ADORABLE AND LOVING.....

"WILL YOU WELCOME ME INTO YOUR HOME AND FAMILY FOREVER?"

HE IS A BEAUTIFUL TUXEDO KITTY AT THE SHELTER. THEY SAVED HIM AND OPERATED ON HIS EYES TO REMOVE SOME TUMOR AND HIS GLAUCOMA......HE DESERVES A LOVING HOME AND FAMILY TO LOOK AFTER HIM....HE IS ON HIS WAY TO RECOVERING FROM THE SURGERY.....

"ARE YOU MY FOREVER FAMILY?"

"HOW WONDERFUL IT WOULD BE IF I COULD SLEEP BESIDE YOU EVERY NIGHT."

"HI, ARE YOU HERE TO TAKE ME HOME?"

"I PROMISE TO LOVE YOU FUR-EVER!"

"I USED TO BE WITH SOMEONE BUT FOR SOME REASON, THEY WENT AWAY.....WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE ME HOME WITH YOU?"

"I HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN THE PAST...PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I AM A LITTLE TIMID. I HIPE YOU WILL LOVE ME TOO!"

"WE MISS OUR FAMILIES BUT FOR SOME REASON THEY LEFT US. WE JUST NEED A FAMILY TO LOVE. PLEASE TAKE US HOME WITH YOU."

"IF YOU GIVE US A CHANCE, WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW MUCH LOVE WE HAVE TO GIVE."

WHEN YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED HAVING A KITTY, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND JUST HOW PROFOUND THEIR LOVE AND LOYALTY IS TO YOU. ONCE YOU HAVE THEM, THEY CONSIDER YOU AS THEIR FAMILY AND IN THE SAME WAY, THEY ALSO BELIEVE YOU TAKE THEM IN AS ONE OF YOUR OWN. SO IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE HOW ABANDONED, LOST AND CONFUSED THEY WILL ONCE THEY ARE LEFT, NEGLECTED OR EVEN DISCARDED. THEY HAVE FEELINGS JUST LIKE US. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR KITTIES LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND THEY TOO NEED YOUR LOVE AND AFFECTION. AND FOR THOSE KITTIES WHO ARE ABANDONED, NEGLECTED, ABUSED OR LEFT TO FEND FOR THEIR OWN, JUST KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR CHOICE TO BE IN THIS WORLD AND MORESO, TO BE SUBJECTED TO HARSH CONDITIONS AND TREATMENT. IF YOU HAVE THE RESOURCES OR CAPABILITY, PLEASE FIND TIME TO CARE FOR ONE OR MORE OR HELP THOSE WHO CARE FOR THEM. IF YOU CAN'T ADOPT A KITTY, PLEASE SUPPORT A SHELTER. IT ONLY TAKES SO LITTLE TO SAVE A KITTY BUT THE IMPACT THAT THEY CAN HAVE ON LIVES CAN BE UNMEASURABLE. BE KIND TO EACH OTHER! BE KIND TO ALL LIVING CREATURES. IF YOU CAN'T CARE FOR ONE, AT LEAST DON'T HURT THEM. THIS IS MY TRIBUTE TO ALL THE KITTIES IN THE WORLD, ESP. THOSE WHO DESERVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE A HAPPY LIFE JUST LIKE EACH AND EVERYONE OF US DOES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.......
