Our Cats

We have the most beautiful cats, but then I think all cats are beautiful.

Domino, our only male cat, will greet John at the door when he comes home from work. He'll jump around and meow loudly until John walks through the door. He is an ocicat of a rare color (ebony). Ocicats are a beautiful spotted breed, friendly and very athletic.

Abby and Katie are sisters and are also ocicats. They were devoted to each other when we first got them, but now they ignore each other, sparking an occasional hiss. Abby is the friendly, sweet one. Katie is distant.

Molly, the oldest of the bunch, doesn't play nice with the others so we keep her secluded when we not home. Domino torments her. She keeps her distance from Abby. But Katie, she attacks Katie. They're nasty, messy attacks that always require massive clean-up afterwards. I think Katie reminds Molly of our beloved Phoebe who used to attack her viciously. Molly was a stray we found in the bushes near where we live. She is very affectionate when she doesn't have to share.

I can't imagine life without a couple of cats running around the house.
