Cats and Dog

There are pictures of my cat, Megan, and my Shiba-Inu dog, Cinnamon. Click on a thumbnail image to see a larger view.

There's also a section for angel cats.

Megan

I got Megan as a kitten, and she still seems like a kitten, since she is a small skinny cat. She was my cat in her former life, and we arranged to be together again. We have a very strong intuitive connection, and much love between us.

Cinnamon

We got Cinnamon in December 1997 for (and on) my birthday, when she was 8 weeks old. She is a Shiba-Inu breed, and a present that keeps on giving! She is delightful, very affectionate and playful. She loves almost everyone, especially children. She gets along well with our cats, though they often don't want to play when she does, and they get annoyed with her.

Gone to Spirit

Victor, the formerly "wild" cat

Victor came into my garage through the cat door during a snowy period in late December. He was scruffy and limping. I gave him food and water, but could not catch him. After a few days I became concerned about his possible health problems and the effect on my other cats, so we closed him in the garage and my husband managed to catch him, though the cat bit his hand through a very heavy glove! We took Victor to the vet, where he shared his lice and rearranged everything on the shelf in the exam room by trying to climb the wall! After I gave him a series of baths he no longer had lice, and was a bit more tame. Kind friends and cat lovers Kristin and Asoka kept Victor in their guest room while I had holiday company, and then Victor came back to be neutered and live in one of my bathrooms while I tried to tame him and improve his health. It took months of patient work, using intuitive animal communication and Tellington Touch, but Victor became a beautiful and sweet companion. He was still very fearful, and hid whenever anyone but us was around. However as time went on he got comfortable with other people that were here a lot, actually became fairly sociable, and was my lap cat! So I feel that he did have a good victory over his fears. When his kidneys finaly failed, Steve (and the vet) helped him with his transition out of a body that no longer worked. I miss velcro-cat in the kitchen, even if I did almost fall over him a lot of times! But I'm sure he’s found a place in the sun.

Midnite

Midnite came to me when he showed up on my mother's porch late one night, and she thought he was much too nice to turn away. So she called me to see if I could take him. He had been my cat in his former life, so I was not at all surprised to have him come back. Midnite was the top cat in my house, and ruled with a mellow touch. He loved the woodsy areas near my house, and tried to teach young cats to hunt just as a mother cat would. He was a dear companion and is sorely missed.

Katie

I found Katie when I was advertising for a similar-looking cat I had lost. Katie was a stray, and the woman who called me had been feeding her and thought she might be my cat. I knew she wasn't, but felt moved to adopt her anyway. She had a very sweet disposition, and shared my life for several years. She got an unusual kind of cancer, and in spite of surgery and other efforts, eventually succumbed to it. She leaves a warm spot in my heart.
