Although my husband has two nephews, on my side of the family we have cat nieces and nephews. Winston was the first cat to enter into my family and as stated earlier, he has lived with everyone in the family, which is saying something since I have 2 sisters, a brother and my parents. About a year after I adopted Winston, my twin sister adopted Tabitha:

A couple months after my sister adopted Tabitha, two kittens were brought into the same clinic. They were only a day or two old and were found in a plastic bag in a drainage ditch or sewer. Neither kitten were expected to survive, but they both did with a lot of human mom loving and not much sleep. My sister raised a black tuxedo cat named Malcolm:

The calico cat behind Malcolm was named Chai, but after her food obsessions were found out she was renamed Tummy. When she isn't begging for food, she likes to hunt and has unfortunately caught many small animals. My twin sister also rescued her from a clinic she worked at for my older sister.

And last is Rocco. He was rescued by my twin sister as well. For a little while he lived with a friend and was named Marley. However he now lives with Malcolm and they have their rough patches but mostly get along. This picture of Rocco is pretty much the expression he gives most of the time.

I will blame my twin sister for us becoming a crazy cat family. She falls in love with strays and then distributes them among friends and family. We tease her that she only chooses lemons because they all have issues, only Winston is normal. Or that's what I like to think!

Your family has been adopted by such cute kitties! Love the photos, esp. of Malcolm - he sure looks like he rules the household. Tabitha and Rocco are beautiful. And Tummy so sweet...though she looks a little miffed about the dog sweater LOL.
My cats loved being introduced to your family cats! Mine are all "foundlings" too, with their own little back-stories. None of mine will wear clothes, but my friend's cat doesn't mind being dressed up. I even knit him a little sweater of his own--he poses in it with the collar turned up, just like Elvis!
The kitties are so cute, and that says a lot since I'm not a cat person! My bloglines is getting your feeds now.
Being a cat person I loved this post! Malcolm might be a monster but that is one cute draping he's got going there over the couch.
Poor Tummy. It could be worse. She could be Chaos and have to model bibs.
I love cats! Enjoyed the cute kitty pictures, esp. the one in the sweater. Very snuggly.
