This is Lilly; in the picture she is 8 weeks old.

while her other kitten sibling, Tygra, makes
sure Possum doesn't play too rough with her!

organized them into some different price categories. About 400 are
priced under 10
dollars (be patient for that page to download!). And around 500 are between
$10-$25. Magnets, notecards,
art prints and other goodies are available, too. Whimsical and funny, cute and
cuddly, realistic and photographic -- something for everyone! Great gifts for you
cat-loving friends and relatives.

Baby has visited before and she's quite the wild cat:
We've got a return visit from Sasha and Sweetpea. They are hanging out on
their sofa, a thankfully familiar piece of furniture after their move.
During the move, however, Sweetpea wasn't too sure about what was going on.
I'm curious but feel safer under here
Lady Jane, on the other hand, is quite relaxed.

Some cat facts...
- "Ghost markings" are faint tabby markings seen in some solid colored cats, especially when the cats are kittens.
- The cat's popularity was increased in the 1800's by Queen Victoria, who owned 2 blue Persians. She frequently attended cat shows in London.
- "Frill" is the fur around the head that is brushed up to form a frame for the cat's face.
- A kitten will knead its mother's stomach to stimulate milk flow.
- A cat in good shape can run 30 miles per hour, but not for long distances, because cats are sprinters.
- Cats walk on their toes.
- "Self" means a cat's coat having the same color all over.
- "Snub" means the short noses seen in some of the longhaired varieties.
