This is David and Tippy. Tippy’s female human, Rachel, says she loves Tippy because she is always at the door to greet her when she comes home. She also says that “Whenever I sit down to read or watch a movie, she always hops on my lap. She sleeps on my back… when I toss and turn in the night, she moves and stays with me.”  This sounds just like another tabby whose name starts with T, my BFF (best feline friend) Thurston! Tippy looks like she likes to get rightupclose to the humans, also just like Thurst!

I think something about the lighting in this photo, the beard, and the wood paneling give this photo a 1970’s feel, don’t you?

Judd’s wife, Cynthia, sent along these photos of Judd with their cat Jack and their oldest cat, Schmoo.

Cynthia already had Schmoo living with her before meeting Judd, but Judd thought Schmoo needed a friend — so they adopted Bean, a Maine Coon mix, to keep him company. Then Cynthia began volunteering at the ASPCA, fostering pregnant cats and mom cats with litters of kittens. From one of these litters came Panda and Cosmo (Judd insisted on keeping two kittens rather than one). Jack came from another foster litter. Judd and Cynthia also have several foster cats, including Bessie, Ollie and Chris.

All in all, Cynthia and Judd share their lives – and their home – with eight cats!
