*sigh* Here in Vancouver, pets are frowned upon, unless you can afford to buy your own condo. And the "pet allowing" places are usually run down. I live vicariously through other pets. LOL I like to go in the cats and dogs threads, to hear the stories. We had cats while I was in school, but not after I moved out. I can barely take care of myself! LOL I hate cat boxes too. No matter how good the litter is. LOL. I just like to snuggle nad pet OTHER people's kitties! Now a dog, I'l love to have a dog. A pug. Second place goes to a bulldog. Third place goes to a thick bull-mastiff. I like those manly looking dogs. My yearly paper calendar is a pug calendar. Unfortunately, pugs are SO popular right now, that the local GOOD breeders get to pick and choose their buyers. They do home inspections, ask about work and school schedules, and all kinds of screening. I wold never buy from a puppy mill because I feel it is supporting an inhumane practice. While active cats are nice to watch...it's the Bambis of the world that will let you sleep at night. LOL

Afternoon update: Sam (or may be Romeo) sacked out on the ledge. Bonza - they are getting closer to using that beauteous white sleighbed! lol
Bambi, using the furry pillow:
Given that Sam's and Romeo's marking are so similar (same pattern on head, colored tail on white body), I wonder if they are out of the same litter?

No, from different states. Romeo Age: 2-1/2 years old Location: Los Angeles, CA About: The name says it all. This cat is a real hound. The ladies love him and he loves them right back. We’d tell you more, but some children may be reading this. Sam Age: 1 year old Location: Dallas, TX About: Sam hails from the Lone Star state. Which partly explains why his heart’s as big as Texas itself. Outgoing and friendly, Sam, who meows with a drawl, was once employed as a dog tester, helping dogs transition to a new cat in their homes. He called it “rustlin’ doggies.”

I have been gone this weekend. Thank you for all of your screencaps and live feed transcripts. I feel like I haven't missed a minute. I have one thing that is annoying me. They have food bowls on the dining table. Anyone adopting one of these kitties will have to train them not to jump on the table. Also does anyone know how long they will be in this house. So far Belle is the only one "adopted" and that was days ago. Is it going on for 10 weeks with one leaving each week?

Of course...the bios! Thanks for the info, Willsfan! Mama - According to the About Page, the cats are scheduled to live in the house for a total of 10 days (June 13-23), but as you've said we've only seen one eviction/adoption so far, and I have not seen any updates. Hmmm...

A few early evening caps: Ellis getting some lovin' from an intruder while she is dustbusting the area! He's also keeping a close eye on all other activity, inside and out.

Jo and Opry snoozing on the ledges:
Just saw Cisco prowling around, but he was too quick for me!

Be sure to check out all the cute photos in the "Gallery", under "Feline Kitchen" from the MM House homepage, if you haven't already. I just love all the furnishings in there!

Ellis getting all twitchy tailed on the Kitty Hoots mats!
ETA: Several minutes later, Ellis is still rolling around on the mats, as happy as can be!

Ellis on KH mats, Zen by the ottoman, Opry still upstairs on ledge. Intruder lovin' on Romeo on rug, and (I assume) Bambi on the sofa. Cisco had just walked off camera in the foreground.

Ellis is still in KH Mat ecstasy, and Opry is by the animal print ottoman:
If I didn't know any better, I would swear Ellis is related to Bonza Boy!

This has six kitties in it. I can't do arrows, so, four on the floor, Ellis (still laying on his back), Opry, one of the white kitties and one under the ottoman, Bambi on the couch, and Jo on the ledge. Such cuties!!

You know, I was thinking that could be Sam because of the orange tail and markings, but with the lighting it is hard to tell if it is a cat or a prop!

Julip, thanks for mentioning the gallery.. some wonderful pictures. I'm sure you've clicked on the Sponsors link.. Lots of the products that are in the house. I'm lusting after one of the bowls that would go perfectly with the artwork in the cat bathroom here, but it doesn't say if it is glass, ceramic, plastic or what and $24.00! Fat Cat (Kitty Hoots) has a contest so you can send pics of your cat with one of their products..

Sea - I did check out the sponsors, but thanks for the reminder. And yes, yikes about the prices! But they are so cute, aren't they? I want one of those double/triple feeders, like the one by the doorway, but I think they are over $100. lol My kits do not have a KH mat, but I think you and Bonza need to enter your babies in the contest!

Molly is twitchy tailed under the ottoman! Ellis is still rolling around. I don't think he's left that spot for over an hour!

I am still amazed at how well these kitties get along. None of them are kittens and some of them are 5 years old. I wish I could take 3 or 4 of them.

Hmmm...I thought that was Molly under the ottoman, since I thought the kit in the window cutout upstairs was Opry...but it could be Opry. It was, in fact, Bambi who was rolling around upstairs in the cutout. She came back downstairs, checked out Ellis and Molly (or Opry) and promptly got back on her sofa.

I love the Exotics Collection, especially the Tess bowl. There is even a matching food mat for that one. But, I have our blue bowl collection. The IKEA blue glass bowl, the Wal*Mart blue glass bowl (Critter rejects the IKEA and choose the Wal*Mart.. tsk) and the absolutely wonderful glowing blue bowl from Stained Glass Garden in Berkeley. Even the SGG bowl is not as expensive as the Tess bowl.

And then emerges
