Lilly on the stove.

My cat Lilly was born on March 4, 2008. She lives in the Southern Maine part of the United States. She’s a lean, spunky cat who like to play GOTCHA! You never know when she’ll be hiding around a corner ready to attack you!

Although feisty, Lilly is extremely gentile. She’s pretty sure of herself most of the time. She can be very mellow too and she can be moved into almost any position. She hates being home alone and will gladly go along for a ride with me in the car to do errands.

She likes it when I park in the “dumpster section” of the parking lots where there are lots of seagulls to watch and chatter at. Her favorite place to perch is on my shoulder, and she will stay there for just about as long as I let her. I have often made my breakfast, brushed my teeth and/or put on my makeup with her perched there.

Lilly also loves to sleep on top of the stove while it is still warm. She’s a very demanding (pick-me-up) kind of kitty. She sleeps on my neck. She’s a wonderful, spoiled rotten cat! Lilly also has about 35 photos on catbook and can be viewed on catbook profile view (5206068).

A portrait of Marie’s Cat, Van Gogh

Marie has sent in another wonderful piece of artwork for everyone to see. This is a portrait of her cat VanGogh which was done a while back. It looks great! Thanks Marie.

Princess lives in the steel city of Hamilton, Ontario. She has the run of the house and loves to lounge around in the basement on her favorite chair. Her chair sits in an out of the way spot but gives her a great view of all the comings and goings downstairs.

Here is another fabulous piece of cat art from our reader Marie. It’s a wonderful portrait of her very first cat, Frosty. W never forget our first cat as they always hold a special place in your heart.

A portrait of Marie’s very first cat, Frosty, 1992 to 2001

Sadly Frosty passed away due to kidney problems in 2001 but I’m sure he was a fantastic cat and lived a very happy life. Here’s what Marie had to tell us about Frosty… “This is the very first cat whom I “owned” after I left my parents house (cats own humans, a human cannot really own a cat). He was pure black with copper eyes. His name was Frosty.

I found him during a snow storm, on my doorstep. He was about 4 months old.
He lived from 1992 to 2001. He passed away right after my husband and I got married. At that time we had five cats between us. We still have three originals to this day who are all over thirteen, besides Jo, Van Gogh, Max and Charlie, they are all under six.”

Thanks for the artwork and story Marie!

Jojo is almost five months now and growing like a weed. Little Jojo gets to eat kitten food. I put his dish up on top of the fridge, and there is no way Max can get up there. I haven’t caught him up there yet, anyway.

Here are some new pictures of little Jojo. He has grown quite a bit since our last post. Jojo and Charlie are starting to play together a lot more these days. Jojo chases Charlie as they both race around the house. Charlie is a girl and Jojo is a tom-cat.

Here is a wonderful drawing sent in by one of our readers, Marie. It’s of her cat, Max. Were very glad Marie decided to send this to us. Here is what she had to say… “This my best cat drawing ever. I’m very proud of it. I love to draw animals, especially my cats. I just got a new scanner, so I thought I would scan the drawing and send it to Band of cats to share with everyone.”
Thanks Marie!

My husband and I have 7 cats now. Shown here below is Van Gogh. He has one eye and is six years old. He is very full of mischief. We got him when he was about one year old. He required an operation to have his eye socket cleaned up and permanently closed. It was remnants of a damaged eye, which didn’t seem to bother him at all, but it looked terrible.

No one could tell us what made it that way. Van Gogh’s previous owner could not afford his surgery, so I gently convinced him to give Van Gogh to me as was able to afford to help Van Gogh.

One must have a little money to keep these cats. They require annual medicals with vaccinations, emergencies, money for the best food, care, and toys. Lets not forget their toys for entertainment!

Van Gogh is and always was…a NUT! Having him around is like having a raccoon or a ferret. He gets into everything. He is very curious and mischievous. My younger cats liked him right away.
