    RockieRockie was just about six weeks old when we took this picture - she was very happy swinging on her rope attached to the post! She’s now nine, and still happy, but has moved on to other fun things to do. We love her.

    ADORABLE! I especially love the “Cleopatra” eye markings and the paws-uppitude, lol! I’ve got a tabby cat myself, so I have a soft spot for them in general….

    Hi, Rockie is now 9 years old! She is still just as beautiful as she was then. She is a very funny cat, and still likes to run around at top speed.

    We poor, deluded two-legged types worry ourselves to pieces over 10,000 things that mean nothing, while the furries can be purrfectly content just swinging on a rope……We could learn a lot from them?? :)

    I agree, Michael. We could learn alot from cats. To take pleasure in the simplest things and don’t sweat the small stuff! Love their cat-atitude. BTW, if you don’t mind me asking, what state or country are you in? Just curious.

    Rockie is adorable! Such a sweet picture. I love action shots. She looks so determined to do something else next. Reminds me of my cats, when I hung a rope on the clothesline. They would go running towards it, attack it and they’d be swinging from it! Picture several cats doing that at once. It was hilarious! Merry Christmas to Rockie and her family and everyone at TDK.

    personality PLUS !!!

    and so PRETTY …

    love her ‘hiss at strangers’ attitude …

    my late Tortie, Stella was a real watch-dog: her head would go up like a periscope whenever she heard footsteps or a car coming up the driveway; …

    and she’d chase dogs out of our yard, hissing and yowling …

    Rockie honey - God Bless you and your family - and be a happy kitty forever,

    I love kittens and in Rockies case what I like about him most is that by just looking at his picture that he is one of those cats that always ends up knocking off decorations on the Christmas tree every christmas.

    Just one additional note — when she got too big to swing on this rope she graduated to swinging on the chandelier that was above our dining room table! I have a picture to prove that as well, but she wasn’t a kitten anymore.

    We couldn’t figure out why the lamp was swinging all the time… then one day she was caught, on the table (which she is not supposed to be on), preparing herself for swinging. I was laughing so hard I could hardly keep the camera still. And she is still that cute (at least to us) now.

You could make a lovely page for Rocky and load lots of pictures etc..If you do you please let us know. I know I am speaking for many of us when I say we would love to see more of Rockie.

    What a swinger! I guess she’ll be “swinging” rather than “rocking” around the Christmas Tree! Looking at this picture reminds me of an early eighties country music song, John Anderson’s, “Swingin!’”

    Y’all take care, and Merry Christmas to all you kitten lovers out yonder!
