1. You are all adorable!

I especially like the kittens. Skittles?

[Bertha Venation]

3. Named Skittles because after we trapped her, she KICKED MY ASS!

I don't have a really good photo of him. Here's one:

12. That looks just like our CB

they could be twins

[Bertha Venation]

22. Does CB stand for anything?

I do hope you get that camera for your birthday...

13. I Guess Richard Must Have Relatives in Las Vegas

That's where we adopted Della - at the ASPCA shelter.

He even has the same stripes on the top of his head. Does he have circles on his sides???

[Bertha Venation]

15. Yep, he's a bullseye tabby. And it's possible, I think.... Richard &

Harry (litter mates) were born in the Inland Empire, Southern Cali. :shrug:

[Flaxbee]

16. ack! Inland Empire!

Holy crapola, after I spent heavenly grade school years in San Juan Capistrano, my parents moved to ... shudder... the Inland Empire! But it was not bad in Redlands, though Riverside and San Bernardino can be pretty rough.

Why you think the kids are from there, BV?

Wonderful pics, too!

[Bertha Venation]

17. Oh, I know that's where they're from. They were born in Chino....

Western edge of the Empire, but still. The "It's possible, I think" was in reply to CO Lib's thought that Richard & Della might be related.

I'm a native of So. Cali. (Huntington Beach) and moved to MD 4 years ago.

Yeah. Inland Empire. Land of eternal wind, and sand in the cupboards. Blech.

20. How Old is Richard???

Della had kittens and was spayed shortly before we adopted her in April of 1994. All her kittens were adopted, and then she picked us out and came home with us.

[Bertha Venation]

21. Hmm. He was born July 1994, so he's not Della's.

But the resemblance is amazing! Della is gorgeous.

11. Pic 2 looks just like my Clyde

He's about 18 years old, blind and incontinent but still a love!

[Bertha Venation]

18. Clyde. What a great name for a cat.

:bounce:

[DianeG5385]

19. Thanks! I'll try to post a pic if I could figure out how!
