They really couldn't care less about the pack dynamics because they know they will be in charge of everything in the end. I also love that Milton likes to hang out on your laptop. I guess the warmth of the motor outweighs the annoyingly, hard keyboard. Thanks for the family pictures. Cats living with a pack of dogs are so funny.

My shots are usually blurry -- although I once got an excellent shot of our cat accidentally due to the lag digital cameras have. We'd just adopted her about three months earlier her -- she was also a stray, so we guess she was just over a year old then. She used to stare at our parakeet, and you could almost see the intictive hunter take over in her brain. I wanted to try to capture that look, and when I snapped the picture, instead, I caught the time she actually made the leap up to the cage. There is an empty spot where the cat was, and her back feet dangling down into the picture. Needless to say, we re-arranged the bird. You have a knack for capturing your pets on “film”.

That is one serious cat, she's got the scowl down perfectly. Makes me miss my sixteen year old black and white, Schmoozer, such a talker. My crazy dog loves cats and makes a daily visit to sit outside a screen door and look in at a neighbor's cat, Cherise, who is afraid of everyone, animal and human, except my 100lb Akita. Strange, huh? I've never let them get close though, not sure what the dog would do. And Milton, Milton is priceless. I see him in a future novel, for sure. Wow, I love Annie.

Annie rules! Jenny, thanks for sharing her with us too. I love the expression on her face as Miltie is assuming the position on your laptop again. Do you think he likes the hum and the warmth of it? Or perhaps he's really an alien and that's what alien hammock looks like. Oh, yeah. Annie rules!

Some just purr less as they get older, or not as loud. I guess that's a lot like people too. Annie is a beauty! But then I’m partial to torties, having one myself.

She came home with me the day after! Emma (about eight months old) is still settling in, but she's fearless, having no qualms about wrestling with the much larger 3-year-old cat. She's a sweetie, but she hasn't purred yet, despite clearly blissing out when she's patted. Anyone else have a cat without a purr?

You've made me realize that it's time for us to get another dog. We lost our Samantha to cancer last April and I thought we should wait a year, but...well, we were never going to make that anyway. I've been trolling Petfinder for months - we should just take the plunge. So...thank you. BTW, do you keep any of what Milton types? Seems like he might have something interesting to say.

Only Gizmo didn't have a tail (Manx). I think the lack of tail made her even more likely to take no crap from animal or human. That last picture amuses me.
