Because my cat came from the wild and because I could not settle on a name until I opened my Bible to where it said 'his name shall be called wonderful', I did indeed name him Wonderful Kitty as he adjusted so wonderfully.

Hello!! This is my entry into the pet contest! This is my cat Popo, and she is almost 3 years old. I took this photo one day when I was bored and had nothing to do and I absolutely love this picture! She is a gorgeous cat and I thought she could do very well in this contest! Hopefully you all do as well!

 WOW some of the trouble these 2 get into OH well

Check out the pictures I took of our furry friends, Casa and Nova. Casa is a male polydactyl cat who became part of our household in February 2006.  You'll have to check out his album if you don't know what polydactyl means!  I managed to get a great shot of him licking his nose soon after we got him that I include in his album.  Christmas 2007, we went out to buy Casa a gift and ended up getting him a little sister we named Nova.  We absolutely fell in love with Nova right away - look at her album and you'll see why!  At first, Casa did not appreciate the gift as much as we did, but Nova eventually grew on him.  Now, the two are inseparable... but I managed to get a few great pictures of the two of them learning to live together early on (which can be found in the Casa and Nova album). Hope you like the fun pics of our pets!  If you do, post a comment or vote for them!...

I bought Mosey (my adorable pet mouse) a nice big mouse wheel for use when he runs loose.  He loves it.  I needed something as a shock absorber on the ceramic tiles.  Well, how appropriate that this came to mind.  It's perfect and made to order!

gotta find some great pet photos today...

  This morning is just full of surprises!
