My spoiled girls
I found myself standing in the local Humane Society office in the middle of January.... after telling them my story, each person who worked there tried to convince me to take *their* favorite cat. In a moment of weakness and COMPLETE insanity, and after doing a full face-to-face "purr test", this is what I have to look at every day. <grin>
MaryJane. Approx. 1+ year old. They gave her the name, and other than 'wild woman' nothing else really fits. lol!
This is the amazing Morgan. Est. 10 months old now. They gave her the name and it's perfect. She LOVES to ride in the car, has NO fear, sounds more like a chicken than a cat, and can jump anywhere silently and bend her body around anything. Oh... she has a weird face too, but her hair is *perfect*. lol!
I call her Esme -- or Sumo when I'm making fun of her. She's very sweet and gentile (here cleaning Morgan). Est. 4 years old:
And last is my little one.... we call her Heidi. She's probably around 7 months old now, and a complete delight. This photo best shows her odd coloring and playful personality:
Thanks for looking! They are all wonderful!

They're all wonderful! I sure wish every cat in a shelter had someone like you to take them home and spoil them! We've adopted/rescued our three and spoil them rotten too.
I wish we could bring every single shelter cat home with us, but old FuzzButt's still working on forgiving us for bringing home Monkey and Jet, and it's been well over a year now LOL!.

All sweeties!
And white cats? Is it something in their genetics? Ours has some orange on her, but is mostly white and her name 'Lucifer', but most often she's called 'Lucy' these days.

Thank you all for the comments and compliments! Yes, it broke my heart to leave ANY of the cats there. I wished I could have rescued all of them, but I felt like I was at least doing everything possible by taking four of them.
We *literally* did a "purr test" to check for compatibility. We gathered in a circle, holding all four cats faces together. They all purred, so that was it! (we actually considered a fifth cat, but she growled on the purr test.
They get along WONDERFULLY! There has never been a single spat between them -- and they are lavished with attention, affection, and have the run of the house and yard, of course! The above photos were taken within the last couple of weeks. This photo was taken after we had them for only a few days, if it tells you anything (LOL!):
And, BTW, there *is* something about all-white cats. She actually picked us by reaching down from a top cage and batting us on the head. She was so wild and crazy that I wondered if we'd survive her, but she quickly turned into a wonderful friend.

What beautiful kitties! How lucky you are to have them My younger cat is a rescued kitty. She had been in the shelter almost 2 years waiting for a home I have never regretted adopting her.
