This huge beast is the most gentle of the three that are under my roof. If you run into him and pet his head he will most likely drop to the floor, lay out on his side, and close his eyes. You will be expected to pet him down his flanks while he sighs.

Sweet little Shiloh knows how to nap alone.

The momcat Mister Mittens will sleep in a lot of places but the cat beds are mostly OK.

Great shot of Trouble surveying his territory. He is a beauty. GQ type of guy :mrgreen:

Been a long time since he fit inside that cat "apartment"

Trouble is a nice fellow and very vocal. He makes a lot of cat noises while runnning around or perched by a window.

And yet, he mostly keeps his claws in and enjoys being near humans. And when he naps with his little sister Shiloh he snags a lot of body contact and grooms her before he crashes.

He's just a nice large cat. If you pet him while he's laid out he won't even open his eyes. He just stretches a bit and stays happy while snoozing.

My dad was once the bigest dog man stud I ever met. He is now a cat loving Pussy!!! And the worst thing bout it, So am I. I am the cause of all this when I took a heart for the kitten mom cat. My bad boy image is forever ruined.

The wonderful thing about cats is that none of them become angry over anything.

Their moment in time is the "now".

Yes, they remember things well but cannot hold a grudge or take to heart your rant and rave.

The most wonderful thing is to wake up in the morning before dawn and a Momcat is breathing into your face and pawing at your face (claws in) gently. She also gives you gentle head butts. You put on the light and stare into her emerald green eyes. As you try to get out of bed the cat shoots off your bed like a rocket and parks herself next to her feed dish in the kitchen.

You go downstairs and walk by the kitchen to go pee. The Momcat understands your routine and sits by her feed dish patiently. She's not thinking that you have bypassed her and won't feed her. Except now she has her two children by her and they're hungry too. The Momcat simply waits for you to pee, scream, and come to the kitchen to lay out cat food. She knows that she owns you and that good food is coming her way.

You feed the cats. Mom grazes and has a good time with the food. And then she goes off to bed and doesn't give a &%$@ that she got you out of your bed to feed her a bit so that she can go back to her bed. The two young cats do the same while you stand around before dawn feeling like an &*#hole.

That is a big boy. Good looking too. He would make a great sire/tomcat. Choas would even reap the benefits of his brothers prowess like the way Frued benefits from Giants Causeways fame.
