Show me your cats!

I have Tiggs, 12, who I adopted as a kitten when I lived in the middle of the Mojave Desert. He loves to find sunny patches to “recharge”, and then spends every other moment cuddling with his humans. He has met my ducks, but ignores them. He’d rather just eat grass and chase chipmunks.

Next up is Leo, 6, who I took care of from birth at my job at a shelter. I adopted him as I couldn’t bear to let him go. He has “orphan kitten syndrome”, although he wasn’t technically an orphan (long story). In other words, he’s a brat. He’s currently on the “disabled list” as he either stepped on a thorn or got chomped between the toes by one of the rodents he hunted. Now he has an abscess, and is stoned on pain meds, but not stoned enough to make treating his paw or medicating him easy. He’s also asthmatic and has a chronic URI. He also ignores the ducks, but he’s barely bigger than them.

Last up is Sammie, 7. I adopted her almost 2 and a half years ago after my soul kitty passed away. Sammie was almost 20 lbs then. Now, she’s 15.35 lbs. Sammie really really really likes food. The ducks took an offensive stance when they first saw her as they didn’t want to become food. She was sleeping in the grass when one snuck up and pecked her on the nose. Now, everyone ignores each other.

Now for my other kitty. We found Teva some time in the winter last year. She was a very energetic kitten! We found her as a stray down our road and would visit her every night where she would be waiting for us. Long story short, she is now an indoor kitty. Teva is missing the very tip of her tail. She is VERY CRAZY! Teva is always "hunting" our other cat Shadow. Shadow gets annoyed sometimes (I do not blame her one bit) but overall the two of them are friends. Teva is a hard core player, and you will often see her flying (crashing) through the house attacking specks of dirt and flies. She doesn't know the difference between a foot and a toy... that cat turn out painful. She is always sneek-eating Shadow's food and is getting kind of fat! Teva loves pets, but will not curl up on you. This is her when she was wild:

And her after we brought her in:

Does he have a ridgeback?

Just the darker stripe. it looks like a ridge but it isn't . That would have been pretty neat though.
