Welcome to my "Happy Valentine's Day" catpage EMC1 at Echo Mtn.  These are photos of all the cats that we have owned.

"Peppie"
She was people person cat.
Nice cat but I could not get used to her claws on my back when I held her.
"Candy"
Candy loved hugs and would also
keep me company when I was ill.
A very gentle beautiful cat.
"Banjo"
While I was studying Banjo kept me company next to me.

"Sugarpaw"
She was my other son's cat since first grade he would come home and
throw her over his shoulder.  We miss her.
"MewMew"
Mew was my son's pal. Mewie followed him to bed.
Whenever I was ill on the couch, Mewie would come up and lay on my shoulder.
He was so cute.  A very nice cat.
"Friskie"
She was an independent cat.
She never sat on my lap but she always leaned on me when sleeping at night.
Muffy does that now.
"Muffy and Pumpkin or is it Pumpkin and Muffy"  there is a secret to telling these two cats apart.  Want to know what it is check on page EMC 7 to find out.
"Muffy, the star attraction around the house."

Muffy is a tiger tabby, she looks part Bengal see EMC4 page for a photo of her coat.
Muffy's favorite food= Figaro cat food, which is chopped up tuna.
Muffy's favorite treats= Whiska's crunchies 'catch of the day'.
Muffy's favorite activity= watching the chipmunks, birds and squirrels.
Muffy's favorite toys=little mice to play with and feathers on a string with stick to chase.
Muffy hates going to the vet, loud noises e.g. garage door and she dislikes racoons at night time.
(she is never let out at night - it is too dangerous for her.)
Muffy loves to be massaged around her neck.  She holds on to your wrist when you cover her face with your hand.  She communicates that she is happy when she is on my lap everynight and looks at me and squints her eyes and nods her head. She is the best.  I guess I finally got it right on how to treat a cat with respect and kindness and think about what she wants. :-)
"The best way to learn about photographic composition is to think about your images before you take them and analyze them after you make a print.  The feedback will soon inspire you to compose images in more creative ways.  You will quickly begin to realize that the two most basic (interrelated) factors are (1) where you place the camera, and (2) what you include within the borders of the photograph." (John P. Schaefer)

I found a photo of my cat "Fluffy" that I once owned. He was a crazy cat. He would wake me up 4:00 a.m. by scratching on the chair for me to let him out and then an while later, he would wake me up again by clicking the handle on the front door constantly for me to let him in.
I lost sleep.  I did not know much about cats back then....now I know exactly what to do when a cat does this.....sprinkle him with water to cut out the bad habit.
