Hubby and I are more dog people, but adopted three cats while living in Kuwait. Kuwait is overrun with mostly feral strays living a pretty miserable existence, and I couldn't bear to turn away a non-feral kitten or cat when they found me/us.

For some reason, I only have pictures of our cats as kittens...might need to fix that!

These two are Tikka (left) and Fattie. I found Tikka living in a shopping center. She was being feed curry and rice by a group of Indians who worked there. We named her Latika (Tikka for short) after the character in Slumdog Millionaire. We watched Fattie being born, as a friend had adopted a pregnant cat from off the street. He was the biggest of the litter, thus the name...

Tikka and Fattie

And this is Paris, whom we found at the Hilton. She has definitely lived up to that name, as she is a cranky diva most of the time. We may have set ourselves up for that one....her first meal from us was lobster, the leftovers from dinner at the Hilton.

Pathetic Paris

Moving them from Kuwait to the USA via a two long flights and 24 hours was something we vowed NEVER to do again. The first 8 hours were a chorus of 'meow, meow' back and forth. I'm sure everyone loved us.

That is so compassionate of you. I enjoyed knowing the story on how the cats got their names. laughing.gif

The bengals are hilarious. The light tabby is probably the smartest though, just pulls them out with her paws and eats. LOL
