Hello all. I joined yesterday and didn't get round to introducing myself so I thought I would get down to doing it now.
About Me.
My real name is Jade. I come from a little county called Hertfordshire in England. I am actually 3/4 Scottish though. I am 22 years of age. I am, I guess you could say - alternative, I love tattoo's and piercings. I also love art, but I am into more modern art I guess. Since I can remember I have ALWAYS had cats/kits. And right now I have over ten (in which some are waiting to go to new homes). Even as their slave I enjoy their company and attitude! And love them all excessively.
My gorgeous feline family *ITS BIG*
Okay here is a little Bio to each of my cats/kits.
Bailey - Known as Cheesy Flea's, Cheese.
Mister Grumpy Grandpa has been with me for nearly five years now. A nieghbour had asked if we was interested in one of her three kittens - in which she couldn't handle to keep. When I went round to choose my new friend I instantly fell in love with the white and black fluffy-ness now known as Cheese. His old house was a state and he wasn't being taken care of, to my standards. His food was old and dry with flies on it - heavy equipment that could easily fall was his playground - in which she threw about to try and retrieve my Cheese. When he was moved over to ours he was petrified of everything for about a week, wouldn't come from under the sofa or anything. But now he is the noisiest cat I know!

Zhou
He is my hubby's cat. Black and white. Gorgeous and friendly - Luke (my hubby to be) didn't expect him to be born, he was a litter of one and mummy cat didn't let on to being pregnant - and Luke didn't know how to look out for the signs. He was on mic to a friend and CoCo (Zhou's mummy) let out a scream. Startled Luke and his friend asked 'What are you doing to the cat?' Luke replied 'I think she just poo'd on my chair' went over to look, and there was his little companion Zhou.

Shakespeare
One of my queens. Mum of two litters. She is a Tortie. About two years old now and very motherly to the rest of my cats. She was one of three in Coco's second litter. when she was a kitten she was lazy and boyish - now she is the Mum to everyone and is loving and caring. she is getting spayed soon, which she won't like because she loves having kittens and being Mum - but I don't want her to have anymore litters, want to let her enjoy life.

Gizmo
Son of Shakespeare, from her first litter. A red and white tabby. He is the unlikely twin of Obi (his BLACK brother) they shared the same placenta at birth. He was originally named Merlot. He likes to think he is Alpha male but when it comes down to it he knows his place really. He responds to his name and is VERY cuddly.

Obi
Son of Shakespeare, twin of Gizmo. Black with a white stripe from chest to tummy. This cat thinks he is a dog - his sneeze's are a 'ruff' and he wags his tail when feeling certain emotions. He is nickname 'Obi Wonky Joby'. Shakespeare chewed his umbilical cord a little too close to his chest - and has left him with a bubble like soft, bald patch of skin on his chest which bloats out when hes full.

Kami
Daughter of Shakespeare, and my second queen. She is semi long furred like her father Cheese. Also white and Black. She's the pretty princess of the litter and knows it. She gave birth to four gorgeous kittens, four weeks ago.

Nos
Daughter of Shakespeare. The boyish one of the litter, name and claimed by my Father. Her cat dad is Zhou and she looks A lot like him. She gave birth to two deformed stillborns (heartbreaking I couldn't handle it and made Luke deal with her birth) - next day gave birth to Salem (my baby I am hand rearing) and yes a day after that gave birth to Noir (my other baby who I am hand rearing) - a three day birth - I was constantly on the phone to the Vet. I'm not sure what made her reject her kittens, because she is so nice natured and mother like. Maybe she was distraught from losing the two.

Liger and Pickle
Shakespeare's second litter. They are going to a new home today, but we have enjoyed them being here. Liger is a red tabby with lots of attitude, and Pickle is a black tortie who is a bit more quieter but loves to play with her brother.

Scrat, Fighter, Whoopy and Whisper.
Kami's litter, Fighter being the only boy. Girls are black and white and he is white and black. Fighter is known as this because when he was born breach he had water on the lungs. I stayed up from 2am - 5am keeping him alive (literally, he was going grey, stiff and cold) - getting the fluid off of his chest. Obviously he survived and is now the dominant one of his pack. Scrat is a little girl with huge ears and kind of resembles a Gremlin. Whisper is the nosiest of them all and screams for attention. Whoopy is the quiet loner of the pack and rather snuggle against a human than with her siblings. (Don't have a pic of Scrat yet)

Salem and Noir
Cat Mum is Nos - Human parents, me and Luke. These are our children we are raising, because they were rejected by their Cat Mum. Noir is very noisy at five days old. And her brother just loves his food and purrs over eating - he is six days old. I am making a better video today of them feeding but I do have one (not so clear) picture of Salem snuggled in his towel.

Well there is our current feline family. We have had others as well but they have moved on or passed on. Please don't judge me for how many I have, they all get proper care and love, I assure you. And I hope me and my family will be accepted by the TDK family.
