This is the cat, Hai Mao (Chinese for black cat; my daughter named him). He is an interesting person. I call him The Black Death as he slaughters all manner of creatures in our yard, without discriminating. I've seen him catch, kill and eat an entire rat, tail included. Some days I find bits and pieces of multiple varmints strewn across the lawn. I know if he was 100# heavier he'd kill us all in our sleep and eat our livers with fava beans and a fine chianti. I can respect that...

Yep, have had cats my whole life (a few dogs too)

Got this guy from the previous owners who neglected him. Been a great, loving, appreciative cat, but, due to his previous owners neglect, it took him a bit to come around.

We are not sure of his age, somewhere around 12-13 we assume but he is still super playful.

I like other people's cats (most of them, anyway), but much prefer dogs...

like mine - I've had my terrier-mix rescue dog for five years and have enjoyed every minute!

Grew up with cats and dogs but we had no plans to get either.

Until this fuzz ball showed up at the house and wouldn't leave 9 years ago.

I've had my little buddy...Otto...for over 15 years now. He's been the only constant in my life here in MN over the years...girls come and go...but Otto has always been there!!!!

He's a "cog." He comes when I call his name...he follows me around the house and outside. He is also a vindictive shit! But I love him!

This is Deadman, if there was an Ugliest Cat contest I would enter him. Another neighborhood stray that moved himself in, he scared the sh*t out of me the first time I saw him, he looks ten times better now. He doesn't meow, he squawks.

LOL. Reminds me of this guy.
I don't know how to describe the sound he used to make other than describing it as he meowed with his mouth closed.
It was a throaty sound, or a sound within so to speak whenever he saw you or wanted something.
Another rescue who became my shadow. If I was outside, so was he. If I was in the garage he became my helper. I named him Norton after Norton on the Honeymooners as he was just as crazy. Awesome cat to say the least!
