Tiger, 4 years old. Spayed and no longer breeding. She had terrific kittens, one a long haired Van Patterned - white body, orange face and black tail. She's much better dispositioned now that she is spayed. Other than that...she does have moments of affection and is very attached to my 11 year old daughter.

 

We rescued Winnie-the-Pooh from SPCA when she was about 6 months old. She was very ill when we brought her home with an intestinal ailment and within a week she was hospitalized for dehydration. I can't believe how attached I was to her even after a week and was worried sick about her. She made it through and hasn't had a sick day since.

She is terrific with children. When my kids were young and had friends over, she used to herd them into a central place and go repeatedly go after the kids that strayed and bring them back. Can't get rid of the herding instinct :-)

Winnie has only one behaviour problem - she thinks she is a lap dog. Make that two - she still thinks she's a puppy and she's 8 1/2 now.
