My Cats
  This is Mochi, who was born in September 1996, the only one of three orphaned brothers who survived. He is a light gray tabby, and he is tiny: the littlest head and feet of any full-grown cat I've had. He loves to play, and has a great personality, but he loves cats more than people. His given name was "Smokey Joe," but he didn't know it and I didn't like it, so I renamed him Mochi. That's a type of puff pastry, which is appropriate because even though he's little, he has a big (puffy) belly.

You can watch Mochi playing with his favorite toy mouse if you have the Quicktime 3.0 plugin (free from Apple). You can also check out lots of other pictures of Mochi.

 

This is Amber. I got her two weeks after I got Mochi. They grew up in the same foster home together. She is about a year older than Mochi and had a litter of three kittens when she was adopted. She loves to run around and play with anything that isn't nailed down. She loves chasing Mochi. Mice have a magical effect on her -- just run your mouse over her picture to see what I mean.

You can also see the cats that once lit up my life but are no longer with me.
