I love my pets! I am presently owned by two cats, call names Bratagin and Patches. Patches is twice the size of Bratagin, weighing 16 lbs. to his 8 lbs. I hope to have a real picture of Patches before too much longer. I got the scanner working, but I have no good pictures of her. She's camera shy.

Bratagin.

I was there the day Brat was born. He was a cute little cream colored fluff ball. By the time he had his eyes open he was a little hellion. He would climb up the couch, run across the back and attack my hair. My sister called him by two names. The first was her Little Tax Dividend, as she raised and sold Siamese cats, and he was born on April 15, 1989. The other name was The Worstest One, which he earned. I received him as a gift when he was 6 mos. old. I tried all the nice names, but found myself constantly asking him if he was being a brat again, or telling him he was being a brat again. When I saw the movie Brannigan with John Wayne, I said Brannigan, Bratagin. Got you. His full name is Thomas (tomcat) Mouthy (Constantly talking)
Bratagin (always being a brat again.). He earned it.

Patches.

I was there July 31, 1994 when Patches was born also. My neighbor had taken in a stray cat, and after a few months she had kittens. Three weeks later she died of a stomach virus. Three of the kittens also died. I raised the last two on a bottle, took them and Brat to the vet, for shots and antibiotics. When they were a couple months old, the neighbor had a heart attack, and I was asked if I would take the kittens. I did. The little tomcat died when I took the two of them to be fixed. He was allergic to the anaesthesia. His sister survived. Her name is Lady Patches D'Oro. She is a Calico on white.
