Joanne - YOU beat me to it! I was gonna post my kitty Penny's photo just to give a thumbs up for cats, too! LOL! Beautiful eyes on Holmz! He looks like a sweetie!

This is my crazy cat, Penny. Also a stray from the Humane Shelter. She's different than any cat I've ever had. I am having to de-sensitize her. She doesn't like to be petted or like most cats, rub up against your leg. When I pet across her back, instead of arching up like most cats because they like it, she slouches down as if trying to avoid the stroking over her back. I've never had a no-touch cat before. She is probably that way from lack of contact as a kitten. I make her sit next to me and I scratch her under the chin and pet her. It drives her crazy because it seems to overstimulate her. She can't wait to get away from me! But I have noticed and so has my dh that she comes up to us more now ... looking for a quick pet or scratching. So I think my behavior modification program is working! LOL!

And yes! That is a snake on the windowsill that she is trying to get at. I have so many snakes in my yard that it is not even funny. I have to watch where I walk sometimes because they will come out to sun themselves and I almost step on them.
