Liz (Zil2008) and I were chatting the other night about our fur babies and she wanted to show me her new kids. I suggested that we post our shots to the site to show everyone our fur babies. So how about it gang.. anybody else want to show off your fur, feathers and fin babies... not to exclude herptiles or any other beloved critter sharing or who have shared your life. So I start off with my baby, Trina, or Trina del Ray as she is formally known to me. As you can see she is a gray tabby cat with soft medium length fur. She just had her 5th birthday a few weeks ago. Trina is a rescue kitty from a local humane society; I got her a few months after my beloved Pingo, my 19 year old Torty passed away. Unlike most house cats Trina loves water; she's my little tiger! She often insists on staying out during a rainshower and only the most severe thunderstorm will drive her inside. When my basement flooded a few years ago she had a grand old time running and sliding in the mess while I mopped up the place. She had her own private wading pool! When she was a kitten, when I took a shower, she would bat away at the curtain crying "let me in!" She's an outdoor kitty and is a determinded hunter, paying for her upkeep by keeping down the mice population who feast on my ample supply of bird seed. She also has an amazing ability to sit up on hind legs for long mintues at a time and she has become a great boxer! Her and I have spent many hours having boxing matches with her batting away at me as I try to touch her tummy! We both know the rules, is she bats my hand before I touch her that is a block and I have to pull the "punch." If I cheat and touch her anyways then the claws come out for the next hit, otherwise she hardly ever scratches me. If I touch her cleanly she gives a growl... like "you got me." She is so smart.
