These are pictures of our four beautiful kitties, click each thumbnail for the full-size image.

Lovebug
Lovebug is the oldest of our kitties, we adopted her and Zoe from the Greater West Metro animal shelter in the fall of 2000. Like many big sisters she is often annoyed by her younger sibling's antics, but she never stays mad for long. She is also the smartest of our four kitties, having learned to open drawers, doors, and anything else that stands between her and our supply of treats.

Zoe Athena
Zoe was a 6 week old kitten when we adopted her. Her name at the shelter had been 'itty bitty', and it was an apt name because she was (and still is) a very small cat. What she lacks in size she makes up for in personality though - she isn't one to take 'no' for an answer and uses all her feline charm to get her way. Interestingly 'getting her way' often involves begging for sweet things (especially bits of apples or grapes), which is very unusual for cats.

Josie Alden
We adopted Josie from the Heart of Minnesota Animal Shelter a while after Anthony started volunteering there. Josie was a kitten at the time and would start purring each time Anthony walked by her section of the shelter. Although Lovebug wasn't too happy to see her at first they are now best friends. Most people also comment on how pretty she is, and they're right - she was even on the cover of the 2006 animal shelter calendar.

Morgan
Morgan was born to an awesome mouser at Anthony's brother's house, and was destine to follow in his mother's footsteps until fate intervened in the form of a car's belts and fan blades. We first met Morgan a couple days later while attending a barbeque, and eventually decided to take him home where we discovered that he had roundworms, maggots, a simple fracture in one hind leg, a compound fracture in the other, and a tail that was almost severed off. He lost his tail and still has a limp in one hind leg, but he doesn't seem to notice as he tackles his sisters and chases them around the house.
