Meet the Mousers!

 The 3 girls! (back to front) Bogie, Beth {she's mama to all} and Buffy!
 Bogie and Beth!
 Dom Rocko, the only male, sort of (neutered)! He's on Kitty Krack!! CATNIP in the garden!
It's just too funny to watch him roll and get all gaa gaa! TheManWhoHoldsMyHeart had to move the catnip plants out of my herb garden and into the main garden where the cats can roll and roll without flattening the rest of the herbs! 

Beth has been with us since 2003, had her first litter of kittens in '04 of which Bogie and Buffy joined our country collection! They matured and had litters of which we were able to find homes for all! On the second round of litters, I said while I love the kittens, it's time to get them fixed. Oh and Beth's second litter gave us Dom Rocko of which he was the only one to survive so he had all the mama's milk he could hold! Thus he was a little butter ball and TheOther#1Son was so sure he would never walk as his little legs stuck out to the side and he would just slide on his little belly!!!!HaHa That's where  his name came from he looked like a mafia boss ;)
As I mentioned in the title they are great mousers and all lovin' the scratch behind the ears, on the back, under the chin, etc. very friendly!!!!! On a fun fact note--- Dom Rocko and Anna are the best of buddies! When Dom was in his butter ball kitten phase Anna, also in her german shepherd puppy years, use to carry him around in her mouth, just like mama Beth!!!!! It was so funny! Dom Rocko still likes to rub against Anna when she lying around and Anna will give him a lick on the head if she thinks we aren't watching, doesn't want to damage her I'M the DOG image!!

Willow of whom I've named the blog after is our only inside cat, she and her brother Xander were the only 2 kittens left in Buffy's last litter that we were unable to find homes for so I caved and we brought them into the house! We had just buried our beloved house cat "Sunshine" of 16 years, that previous spring and I said "No more!"
 Zander and Willow we're a very cute pair and lots of entertainment! Xander was also a sewing cat!! He passed in '09 of a digestional problem, so Willow has adjusted and relishes in her position as director of the house staff!!!!!!

  1. They all look like happy cats! We only have the one now - Charlie - and he loves drugs too. LOL Unfortunately, he only gets the dried stuff we buy. Maybe I should plant some catnip but I guess that would make our yard the place to be for all the neighborhood cats!

    1. Maybe just a little patch of catnip in a low rimmed pot!? That way you could move it about, away from other neighborhood cats, oh Charlie would sooo love the fresh stuff!!!!! It's just so darn funny to watch them roll and nuzzle the plant!hehe
