Not so much a case of "reader's cats" as Editor and Webmaster's cat. Elmo is such a lovely cat, he is, in part, the inspiration for building this web site at all. He was just a kitten in this photo.

Sissy is almost two years old and has taught my other 6 cats, and my husband and me for that matter, who is boss! If she is not given at least 1/3 of our king size bed, we are not allowed to sleep! She walks all over us, nips at our hands and generally makes herself a nuisance. If the litter box is not cleaned to her standards, she sits beside it and cries. She has a unique personality and we love her dearly!!

Ringaling is a very pretty marble girl that we have started to show. At shows she is a very good girl but at home she is very naughty. She loves climbing trees - but can't get down! She helps us cook our dinner and to eat it, but never helps with the washing-up.

These cats have a web page which they share with a parrot, and an orange tabby named Nussman. Our house will never be quiet again with these bundles of activity. They have found things that were lost for years, and are masters of curiosity. Elmer knows how to pry open the plastic lid of a coffee can to get some food which he knows is stored there, while Mookie insists upon drinking from the water faucet in the kitchen. They are tons of fun, very lovable and action machines!

I'm Jaspurr! I'm a hyper little kitten with insatiable curiosity. My girlfriend is a 5 foot long iguana named Beastie (I love snuggling her). I'm fascinated by flushing toilets, though I fell in the other day. The rest of the time I'm a regular goofball, running around like a maniac and getting into EVERYTHING (I even try to get under people at mealtimes to see if I can swipe a paw over the plate and get a goodie, just like my older brother Feinman!

This Bengal is Bulubaharu Bramblewood Eve. At various times in the year she lives in one of our garden runs. One of her most useful tricks is to scream at the herons who greedily eye the fish in our koi pond so up until now they haven't landed. However she met her match one evening when she encountered 3 noisy ducks which decided to pay a visit.They weren't put off at all and when they went to investigate where the noise as coming from she beat a hasty retreat into her chalet!

Miss Zoey (or 'stinky' to her friends) is a young marble Bengal (born March 1997) who lives with Sashi and Winter, two siamese cats. Zoey loves playing in water, and is absolutely fearless. Zoey's Indian name is "Eats All Dry Food". We have to give out the Eukanuba Dry food in portions, with each cat getting her own portion, because Miss Zoey has decided that if food is present, she will sit there and eat it ALL!! One time she ate so much, she finished the last morsel, took two steps and collapsed on the floor, laying on her side, not getting up for about an hour. Nonetheless, she is the sweetest cat and loves to lay on Mommy's quilt batting, kneading her paws and it and purring simultaneously. We call it "making bread". © Photograph courtesy of Amery Ray

Hunter is a wonderful male bengal kitten. He is glittered and pelted, and has the most loving purrsonality. He is four and half months old with spots that are large and wide spaced. Some are even the desired arrowhead. He likes to curl up in my arms to sleep when I am trying to use the computer.

Ella is an entire spotted snow Bengal queen, and has a twin sister called Emma.
