And pride

It would be amazing to get a picture of all 5 when they are full grown in a group shot!

Beautiful!

Yes!
According to the article, zoo staff have nicknamed the pride "the gangsters".

Careful, you keep calling them and they might come.
The kat in your handle wouldn't bias you would it?
I have two wonderful cats myself and I have been scratched enough times when my calico female was young to know that even an ordinary cat deciding on an all out attack is a fearsome thing.
By the way, she is really very good and considerate about not scratching me now which is a very good thing because sleeping on my lap or on top of my chest is something she demands from me a lot of the time.

Cats are nice, but I can't use the word "wonderful" to describe the species. They are cute, cuddly, and playful and nice to have around.They also make good little heaters when it's cold.But I don't like cleaning up after them.And they shed on the clothes you need to wear that day.And they rearrange things when you are not home.

Did I mention they always invite their friends over for dinner?

I'm not fond of cleaning up the litter box either, the extra hair is definitely an inconvenience, and without a doubt they are shortening my life health wise;,I mean I am not the worlds great house keeper and my cat loves to take dust baths often carting that extra dust right in more or less layered in her hair.
Still I cannot imagine ever having lived without her or the Siamese cat that adopted me. This is probably because I live alone, pretty happily actually, but it is true that pets are wonderful for the spirit!

Yup, they are definitely good for the spirit, I agree.

I doubt they can shorten your life.I know I have shortened mine much more than any cat could ever do. My cats have given my life a little more length , I think, surely.

Really now that I think about it, it was irresponsible for me to even suggest that idea in the first place. I mean I know myself what I mean, and I know that I do not mean any dislike for the cats. But, and this is where I was completely wrong, a reader probably wouldn't understand that. And thus I would not be the friend to cats that I wish to be.

Thanks for correcting me.

The reason I was less sensitive to saying such a thing is that I know, unlike a reader who would not know, that I love my cats enough that it wouldn't matter, I would still love them and it would be worth it.
As I said, I can't imagine living without them!

I won't tell your cats if you don't. My lips are sealed.
