Today is the anniversary of the day I adopted Holly and Martini

They came to live with me on December 30, 2011 and they've been a complete and utter joy to me ever since.

Happy anniversary, my wonderful fur babies! Mama loves you now and forever.

From another Crazy Cat Lady who's ruining the country with what others may consider poor choices.

We surely must stick together! I have a little tray that says "You say crazy cat lady like it's a bad thing."

Cat ladies of the world unite! If we did, we'd be a force to be reckoned with.

...did they take you into their home and permit you the privilege of serving them for the rest of their lives?

Asking for a (feline) friend.......

and permitted me the privilege of serving them for the rest of their lives! And believe me, it has been a privilege and an honor.

Cats are one of the greatest joys in life.

Missy and Gavin Mewsom (a very handsome boy) send their congratulations.

Cats are indeed one of the greatest joys in life!

By the way, I love the name Gavin Mewsom! Missy is a cute name, too. What kind of cats are they?

my place is for ferals who want to come inside.

Very cute black and grey tabbies. Missy has big tabby markings with white paws while Gavin is a mackerel tabby (many thin stripes).
