Radar is the sweetest of the two cats, too. He is the sweetest, most gentle guy. My BIL says that when he comes to visit us he is coming mainly to see Radar. He even likes him better than his own cat, lol.

You're right - Spike does look like my Scotty!

He really does!

Mine might be bigger, although it's hard to tell how big your Scotty is. Spike is a Norwegian Forest Cat, which are big. Not as big as a Maine Coon, but close. Huge paws and a large build with the long fur. He is an affectionate cat who can be a sweetie, very dog-like (in fact, him and our dog are best buddies and play rough even though Spike is around 14), BUT he can also be a real d-bag. ;)

BTW - I was also moved by your story. I think the way that Grace entered your life is so sweet and it makes me happy that she is still there for you.

Do you drive your cats up to MN from TX every summer?!? My cats, especially Radar, went crazy the three times we moved long distance (250-ish miles each time) in our car.

Yeah, although Scotty had a lot of hair, he was thin, but tallest of the brood.

Grace is the only one still here, and yes, she goes with me to Minnesota - she's surprisingly content to do so (must be the Feliway spray)!

Lots of fur really does "add" size to a cat. Everyone always thinks Spike is much bigger than he is, then they pick him up. They're still surprised by his size, but realize he isn't as huge as he looks.

That's great. I should've tried to find something to calm my cats when we moved Oh well, I think we are settled and have no plans to move anytime soon, if ever.

Chrissy, they are all beautiful, but Trey has that meezer thing down pat! I've never owned one but have always wanted a blue or lilac point applehead meezer.

Thanks for starting this topic!

Oh, he's definitely a Siamese. With as attitudinal and vocal as he is, he'd have a hard time convincing me that he's anything else!

Four shelter critters here!

Sammy, aka "moose-dog." Total goofball, we joke that he ate a sharpie because he has polkadots on his tongue.

Lloyd, aka "corgster to the max." Tennis ball addict, but he can stop any time.

Jones, named after Ripley's cat in "Alien." He once killed a lizard that snuck into the house, so fierce!

Maya, who grunts like a piggy when she sleeps. Queen of the castle.
