Portable Tigers

I am a cat person. Actually, as years go by I am becoming a cat lady, which is frankly a fate that does not scare me in the least.

I love pretty much all animals - indeed, lately I have even become tolerant of spiders, that used to induce a panic reaction in me. For the rest, cats, dogs, horses, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, lizards, squirrels red, grey and black, chipmunks, mice, rats - I love them all. I make an exception for the mosquito, mosquitos are vile creatures with no redeeming virtues and would be well wiped out, a thing that is not likely to happen.

But cats I understand better than most. I like cats and mostly they like me, even though sometimes they do the feline equivalent of shrugging their shoulders and rolling their eyes, because I bother them. Cats are supposed not to like people who bother them, who pet them when they don’t feel like it and try to scritch their bellies, but most cats with me tend to forgive me for my overenthusiasm and end up snuggling up purring. It helps if it’s cold, of course

So, these pages are dedicated to cats, to my cats, and to cats that I have known and loved. Zip, Ombra, Terry, and the Little Stray Black Cat all have their own live and active pages. Jason's photo is not as exciting as I hoped. Topolino, Toshiro and Flippi are still to come, as well as other various cats.
