Since I'm seeing so many people sharing their adorable and loved pets, I thought I'd add mine
Cats - a set on Flickr

Fabulous fotos! How many cats do you have??? They all look so sweet!

(Especially love the photos of your kitties with Lilith!

I should introduce you and Lilith to my Yolanda!

Thanks for the compliment on the photos Yvan! I currently have 3 of the cats that are pictured. They are such adorable subjects that it is difficult to keep from taking photos of them all the time.

The black and white one, Lilith, is my oldest (almost 9), and she is such a 'fraidy cat. She runs from almost everyone but me. She's such a cuddle bug although I have to keep her away from plants because she like to eat flowers!

Panther is my next oldest at 7. He's the brown/black/white tabby that loves boxes. He's also the one that makes sure I have a sufficient amount of cat hair on my outfits.

Casper is our youngest furry kid at 3. He's got some tabby and flame point Siamese. Because of the Siamese genes, he has blue eyes and they tend to cross if he isn't concentrating. Since he's got a lot of white, has blue eyes and is a male cat, he's also deaf. His favorite past-times are eating chives from my indoor herb garden and waking me up in the middle of the night by purring and drooling in my ear.

Pretty kitties!

Well, they are all so adorable!

I understand about taking lots of pictures. I am always snapping shots of my cat. I'll have to post some.

Funny...I thought perhaps Lilith was the name of the penguin!

My cat's name is Mr. Bojangles, but when I was referring to Yolanda, I was talking about my penguin!

Well some people thought that I adopted Lilith from the humane society because she was black and white and looked like a feline version of a penguin. That isn't why, she just is the one that reached out and grabbed me--literally! Once I picked her up and she fell asleep in my hand it was all history!

I definitely want to see some photos of Mr. Bojangles. I think I saw him in one of your posts.

You've got your penguin and I've got my bear! If we weren't so far away from each other, you could meet all my kitties and my Fred. Maybe some century I'll get into that area of the US.

Nice pictures. You have some beautiful cats and I can tell your proud of them, as you should be.

Thank you for sharing your adorable kitty photos! They are so cute! I have 4 cats myself and they are so much fun to take pictures of. I think they sometimes enjoy posing for us!

I know that sometimes they do enjoy posing. One of mine used to pose every time the camera came out and she would get very upset if we took the camera out and didn't take her picture.
