Our cats are all boys. Let me introduce them.
First up is Finn, also known as "The Pie" (I have no real idea why now!)

Finn is 7.5 years old and the only one of our boys that goes out. He came to us as a stray tom cat in early 2002, who needed a broken & infected toe amputated and neutering. He ended up getting cat flu pretty bad and needed a few weeks of treatment, in which time I fell in love with him and decided to bring him home - my first pet of my own after getting my own flat. I tried at first to make him a housecat but sometimes you just can't take the tom out of the cat and he just is not happy confined. Thankfully we moved house within a year of adopting him so he could enjoy our garden, though we don't let him out at night or unless one of us is home. He is quite grumpy and often lays down the law with our other pets, enjoying his place firmly as Boss in the family. He loves my hubby and sleeps most of the night on him.
Next is Riley O'Smiley

Riley is 5 years old and was abandoned at my work after his former owners did not want to pay their bill! He is a little monkey at times and full of character. He always has something to say and loves his food. He likes to groom beards and heads, and his best friend is my oldest dog.
Then there's the twins, Mackenzie & Theo, aka "The Mook" & "The Took"
Mackenzie is tabby longhaired, and Theo is buff shorthaired.

They were dumped on a construction site in a cardboard box at approx 4 weeks of age, and we brought them home to rear. They are now 4 years old. They are both very large and handsome boys with very different personalities. Mackenzie is sweet, laid back & affectionate whereas Theo is more hyper, active and playful. They both get on fantastic with my dogs and constantly amuse us with their funny ways. Theo suffers from idiopathic cystitis and is on Cystaid for life which is doing very well for him.

they are all honeys! :Luv: and lucky to have found you to be their slave. Betting Pie was called that cos he looks like a magpie!!
-
It seems such a long time ago that he was given the nickname, I think we just used to call him "Finley Pie" and it eventually shortened to just Pie - he even answers to it!
-
I loves your boys and especially Pie cos have a very weak spot for Black and whites and have a long haired one myself ;D

Thanks for the comments, my boys send headbutts :Luv:
Do we have an "Other Pets" section or where should I post doggie pics? I am dog-mad!
-
you can put them in your introductory message or just in general chatting about non-cat stuff. Shadow usually manages to sneak into the cat sections cos my cats use him as a trampoline :rofl:
-
Your boys are fab! And the barkie kind are ok too :shify: Lexy won't agree but I do... show us your doggie go on... go on!!!
Lynns a VN too, so great to have two of you on here.
:welcome:

What a selection of gorgeous little faces, they're all cute but Theo is just gorgeous :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Who is this imposter Riley though? I thought I had the only Riley on here (right hand side of my signature) then Nicola joined a few weeks ago with Riley 2 and now we have Riley 3, they're all coming out of the woodwork :evillaugh:
