I love cats. I especially love my two little rascals. Well, let me rephrase - my cats are not exactly "little" (as you can see by the photo)! Mr. Pan (pictured) is a Maine Coon and is probably about 23 lbs now. He is the tallest cat I've ever seen and he has often frightened our houseguests by his sheer size. Once, Pan even beat up our friends' Labrador/Retriever who was twice, if not thrice, his size! Pan plays fetch on a regular basis and loves to eat fresh roses (the punk). It is so hard to believe that he was once the runt of his family.

Juno, our other kitty, is half as tall and twice as wide and Pan! She is massive - in spite of her 3-4 year diet. I honestly think she has some sort of thyroid problem or eating disorder! She is the cuddly one, always coming when I call her. She loves to be brushed almost as much as she loves catnip. Sometimes when she lounges about the house, she favors Jabba the Hut.

I love my cats so much! They love me uncondionally (through diets and stressful moves and everything!). There is nothing I like more than curling up in the sunshine with one of my furry buddies.
