Yes I have 4 cats


Yes I have 4 cats. They are Mara, Maddy, Ridley, and Keira (Baby). I really don't know how I acquired 4 cats. It just sort of happened. I had an old cat her name was Cleo and she died. I got 2 litter mates Mara and Mya. Mya became sick and we had to put her to sleep. This put Mara in a major depression. We decided we needed another cat.

The next week a cat wondered onto my friends porch. She was very loving and my friend called and asked if we wanted her. That's how we got Maddy. Now Miss Maddy is very domineering and mothering (whether the other cats want mothering or not). So we decided we needed a 3rd cat as a buffer between Maddy and Mara (Mara is very meek).

That is when we got Ridley. She is my cute cuddle bear. Her fur is sooo soft. The problem was she didn't act as a buffer. She did not get along with Maddy and Mara. Actually really didn't get along with Maddy, problem was now Mara thought of Maddy as momma. So Mara started acting like Maddy's muscle. I know a really mafia cat Peyton place. They either fought or eyed each other from a distance.

Then came Keira or baby as we call her most of the time. I was at a garage sale and they were giving away kittens. One of the kittens kept following me around so I would pick it up and pet it and put it down and keep looking at the garage sale. Finally, my friend said: Oh just take the kitten already! So I did. I never had a really young kitten before. Let me tell you she was part psycho. Running all over the house going crazy. Getting on EVERYTHING! It was worse than having a baby! Not that I have had one, but I am sure it was worse.

She broke 2 sets of traverse rods. Bent countless curtain rods. Opened the bathroom door while you were taking a shower for god and everyone to see. We honestly had to cat proof our house! She has since grown up and has calmed down some. I stress some. She still has her wild moments where she runs through the house meowing. This gives you an idea of the fun I have everyday. Really, they are all beautiful girl kitties. I wouldn't change them for the world.
