One wonderful hubby, two delicious cats. No kids of our own but lots of kids in my life, through work and church, that I'm proud of.

I'm not sure who is higher maintenance, though, the hubby or the cats. Both yowl when they're hungry. Neither seem to be capable of cleaning their own bathroom. Both leave piles of hair lying around, and sleep a lot. But they're all warm and cuddly on cold nights... and none of them snore. Well, Lucy snores a little if her head is pushed into the pillow.

Lucy the Obese Calico is 17 pounds on a little body that should weigh 7 or 8 pounds. She most resembles a wallowing harbor seal. Simber the Long-Haired Red Tabby is a large and muscle-y creature, fearless when stalking pieces of paper but terrified of the door buzzer. Kitty the Weird and Skinny Maine Coon, rest her furry little soul, died last May from FIV. Thankfully, neither of the other two have shown any signs of it. I haven't had the heart to have them tested, as they are devoted to one another and I couldn't bear having one infected cat put down if the other was negative. May as well let them live in happy ignorance, poor little creeters.
