Yoda
...Yoda came to us in 2005 as a 12-week old kitten from the Heartland Humane Society.
He was already named, and we stuck with the name because he responded to it, and
because it aptly fit his large ears that to this day splay out to the side when he
is relaxed. He's a sweet, outgoing, monster size (19 lb--not fat, just BIG!) cat now,
built like a football lineman. His size prevents him from wiggling through the deer fence,
so he is permitted outside
under supervision. Yoda likes to torment Mazzie in a playful sort of way, but Mazzie does not
take kindly to it.

Mazzie, The Supervisor...
We
found her at the Humane Society where she was reported to be about
a year old and a stray. She quickly made herself at home, made friends
with Rufous (see below) and has amazed us with her energy, quickness
and even temperment.
She is one cool cat! After a mishap in which she lost the sight in one eye, she is
now kept indoors.

Rufous the
Timid...He runs from us during the day, but snuggles when I'm sitting in
the house. Boxes of Kleenex are kept handy to mop up his copious drool. After 17
years with us, Rufous passed away in 2005.

Stormy...
My 12-year old Stormy disappeared from the face of the
Earth in May of 1999. He will be remembered for his lengthy conversations,
his affection, and his agility.
