Meet Tigier and Dakota, a cat and dog who have lived under the same roof for over six years. They both belong to my brother Doug and his wife Karen. Here is their story about how Tigier and Dakota get along at home after a rough beginning.

“Tigier was seven years old, and the king of the house, the day we brought home a new puppy, Dakota. Tigier was not at all pleased with our new addition and let us know it by swatting at him every time the puppy got in his way.

Dakota’s father is a husky and his mother is half American Staffordshire Terrier and half Pit-Bull. We warned Tigier that “Dakota will be bigger than you one day and he better stop swatting him”. As a puppy, Dakota would cry when Tigier swatted him.

We went on a three day get-away recently to the Great Wolf Lodge near Niagara Falls. We had been a few times before and always had a great time with the kids. This time was no different and I think they actually added a few more things to do. The best part is the indoor water park. If you haven’t been and you like water parks it’s worth going. One of the memorable and unique surprises was a visit from a friendly Cat.

Let’s welcome this adorable little creature to the world. This is Ava-gaborski. She 3 days old and extremely cute. Tiny too. Our reader, Deborah, tells us more about Ava:

“Here a couple of pictures that I took of miss ava-gaborski. She was one of my foster kittens (I do volunteer work the l.a. county shelter in downey). She was about 3 days old here. I also cropped this one down so that it is just my husbands hands and her.
One of the best parts of fostering kittens/puppies is that you get to name them!”

This is Bob. He has a bit of a strong personality, but what cat doesn’t. His owner, Deborah, tells us he a lovable Cat and that is whats important for any relationship between Cat and human.

Here is what Deborah told us about Bob:
“For the holidays this past year I made up photo greeting cards with the caption “Bob. Humbug! Did we really need a new dog?” Bob is a 7-1/2 year old grey tabby with plenty of cat-i-tude. And I couldn’t love him more if I tried.”

Thanks again for sending us your photo of Bob. It’s hard to know what he’s thinking in that pic. He would certainly make a good poker player.

Introducing Munchkin. We received this fun picture of Munchkin from our reader, Paula, in Seattle. She looks like a fun loving, easy going cat.

Here is what Paula said about Munchkin:
“Munchkin is just chillin’ here. She is 8 years old (approximately) and bottle-fed. I guess that’s why she’s such a baby. Munchkin was born in Dallas, Texas with a Russian dad and a domestic mother. She now lives in Seattle, WA.”

Meet Skitter. Skitter belongs to our reader Collen and she has sent us these great pictures of Skitter to share with everyone. We really like the name. It’s definitely one of the more unique cat names we’ve seen.

Here is what Collen had to tell us about Skitter:
‘My cats name is Skitter. I named her that because she is so skittish. She is 11 years old and I’ve had her since she was 9months old. She was a rescue cat.’

Here is a wonderful Cat from our reader, Lynn. It always nice to see a happy cat with lot’s of room to roam. Here is what Lynn had to tell us about her Cat.

Little One, a 13 year old Cat who is part Siamese, sitting on a hay bale.

“This is my cat Little One. He loves it on our farm. He is sitting by a hay bale this summer. He is a male who is part Siamese. Little One is quite the character. He loves to walk with me out in our fields. Although he is 13 years old he doesn’t act like it. Little One lives in upstate NY. He’s my baby. He knows what the words “cheese” is and “no” mean, but don’t say “ears” around him because he knows he is going to have his ears cleaned”

Thanks Lynn for sharing Little One with us. I’m sure he is a very special member of your family.

Steven has sent in a fun picture of his cat, Ebony, doing his stretches. Here is what he had to tell us about Ebony.

“Ebony is a one year old cat that I recently adopted along with his sister Ivory. I have a black and a white short hair. They have both brought me much joy in my life. People at work have commented how calmer I am now. Ebony was a charter at the Humane society where I adopted him. When I went into the teenage room, he was the only one that came up to me. I knew then I had to adopt him. A friend mentioned that I might consider adopting two cats as they would keep each other company when I was not at home.”

Thanks for the great picture Steven.

Here are some fantastic pictures from our reader Joy. Unfortunately her cat Max passed away some time ago, but his memory lives on. Here is what Joy had to tell us about her cats.

Mad Max

“The mad cat is Maxamillion. We adopted him when he was about two years old. He passed away three years ago due to kidney failure at the age of 16.  He had a black belt attitude even without his claws and he said what time we woke up and what time we went to bed at night.  He ran the house.
