Sparkles! She's sort of the Jaba the Hut of the family. We got her when she was 7 from the Humane Society. There were a bunch of cute kittens there but they were all sleeping in their litter boxes and seemed a little cross eyed. She acted all cute at us and stuck her hand out of the cage and meowed. They wrapped her up and when we got home she got out of her box and ran across the floor and her belly was flapping from side to side and you could see it from the back. Her belly is obscene. She's around 14 years old now and doesn't come out of her fortress (which is a cabinet in the kitchen) much because the younger cats are jerks to her. She's a little bit grumpy.

Belial. This cat is dead sexy. He's named after a monster from the b horror flick Basketcase. His fur is super soft and smooth and perfect and he always manages to sit/lay as if he's modeling. He's all smushy and awesome when you pick him up. He got the looks, but he did not get the brains. He and I had a bit of a falling out for a while there because he hates my art. I used to work on ceramics in the living room and when it was finished and drying, he'd always find a way to smash it. I worked on this one piece for about a week - it was a six toed foot and one of my favorite pieces ever and I put it in the bedroom to dry. Couple of days later I heard a smash and belial was just sitting there on my drying board looking at me with dead eyes. He managed to smash about 7 pieces. We've since made up and I work on art in the studio, and he's never ever ever ever ever ever going to be allowed in there.
This is him as a kitteh!
This is him after he grew into his beautiful face!
This is belial airing his junk:
Vito! My friend Vanessa was fostering him after he got his spa treatment from the Trap Neuter Return program http://catsinmyyard.com/. I came over one day and saw him and had to have him.
I know you're not supposed to have a favorite or whatever but he is my favorite cat. Vito is a bit of a dick but he's also the most cuddly adorable awesome cat ever. I taught him how to fetch and he has his own special fetch ball called mr. smiley. Belial has a white puff that he fetches sometimes too and I trained them to only chase their own toy.
Vito and Mr. Smiley!
