Hi! I love all the animals. I love to watch animal shows. I collect books and books on all kinds of them. But far and away, I LOVE cats the most!!!

I have a beautiful longish hair calico named Maybelline. She is still kind of a kitten at 9 months old. If I have to be gone for the day, I miss her and can't wait to see her again! She makes us all laugh and is very sweet:)

I am an animal lover. I seem to be an animal magnet as they show up when least expected. I had a 150lb dog who would literally bring home friends if he got loose from his lead or they would join him on his lead ( which was only when we knew we were going to be gone more then a few hours ). At the moment we have a lazy fat cat named MaCavity (The name is totally appropriate!!)

As I have passed through my life I have had several pets/fosters including cats,dogs, birds, turtles, lizards, ferrets, hamsters, fish ( salt water and fresh ). I have bottle fed several kittens who were separated from their mothers. In the location I lived in previously they had a large problem with feral cats, so I would help trap them. They were then spayed or neutered and returned to the location they were found. This kept the population from growing and from new cats from moving into those areas.

Hi Everyone!!! I used to be a dog person, then my sister adopted this gorgeous little orange tabby whom I considered my child... I had to put him down this past October and have had a part of me missing ever since...

I am dedicating my art success in 2013 to my little Cheddar... I also have another runt at home but he's not mime...

The love you have for your cat child can never be equaled... I know you guys all feel the same way I do...

Meow Meow everyone!!!

Hi everyone I have two special cats, Leo & Lilly, they are brother & sister. They are long haired Bengals. I've had them two years now. When I went to check out the litter, I planned on getting one cat, they were the only two left, I couldn't leave one behind so I took them both. Cats Rule!
Happy to be invited, I don't sell anything "cat" but I do love anything "cat".

@ Caroline from page 9...

Maybelline has to be just in the right mood to want to snuggle. Sometimes it takes a lot fo coaxing. She is 9 months old now and full of too much energy to want to sit still very long.

She loves it when I get to ship something. She loves the sound of printer, printing my shipping lable. She will come from anywhere she is just to watch it. Then when I cut them to fit the box, I wad up the paper and throw it accross the floor. She loves to run after it and bat them all over the house. She is a riot!

Your Gabby looks like my Maybelline except mine has longer hair.

At the moment, I have 2 smart cats, one grey and white tuxedo, who is 14 and a black and white tuxedo, who is 5. They were both street cats. They absolutely rule our lives.

Hello im new to this team, and pretty new to etsy as well. decided to join this team because i love animals soo much! i actaully used to volunteer at a kennel/ rescue shelter, and from there began to work there.

Hello. I am a new seller and I absolutely love cats. In fact, my cat is on my lap right now. She's a striped brown cat. Though I do not sell many pet-related items I do hope you check out my shop, give some advice, and maybe some favorites/treasury lists.

Hello fellow cat lovers,

I have just joined this site. Here is a bit about my love of cats!

I was lucky enough to grow up with some really fantastic cats who were very important members of the family... now that I am grown up I have two pugs, which strangely remind me of cats in some ways, I think that is what appealed!! They like to curl up warm on your lap and sleep, like to be smoothed, no patting for them, and like a cat they know just how important they are and use it to their advantage...!

These days I get my cat fixes from my parents' elderly rescue cat who started off quite fearsome & feisty but gets sweeter with age (and as his humans become more obedient and in tune with his commands!!) and a younger cat who was ferrel & just wandered in one day, he is a little aloof, but is gradually mellowing out. Also, my neighbour's female tortoiseshell cat is very sweet & charming & comes and "chats" to me when I'm in the garden :-)

Hi,

My name is Janet. I have two cats and love cats. They are so sleek, move so beautifully and maintain their dignity no matter what the situation. My two girls are Bessie, an American Shorthair and Pyewacket, an American Tortoise. Bessie is 7 years old and she is a talkie girl. You always know what she is thinking because she makes it clear. Pye is 15 years old and she is a sweet, strong minded lady. They are both so cool.

Thank you for accepting us into your group.

Hello everyone,
I just found this group & joined 'cause I love animals. I have enjoyed the company of cats, dogs (yes, together in the same house-had 3 cats & 2 dogs at one time)...and other critters too. Right now, I'm alone because the condo association doesn't allow pets :(...So, send me your cat energy...lol.
I'm also trying to grow my Etsy shop from a hobby to a business that could sustain my financially so that I could dedicate 100% of my effort to it...

Peace & Purrrrrs,
Robert

Hi everybody! Thanks for this team - I love cats so much, too! I have one awesome rescue cat, my adorable 5 year old orange tabby named Tigger. He's my little buddy and partner in crime, and he has all of the wonderful qualities you find in felines! I hope to eventually get him at least one more buddy to keep him company when I'm not home, so I need to move into a bigger place. Please wish me luck on that sometime this year!

Probably like most of you, I spoil my cat because he's so cute and playful and affectionate! Happy to be part of a community of people who are just as crazy about kitties as I am! >^..^<

Hello,
I love reading about everyone. I am a avid animal lover. My hubby callls me Ellie Mae (if you don't know who that is look up the Beverly Hillbillies). We many animals that include horse, goats, mini zebu, dogs, fish, and yes of course cats.

We have 3 cats. Jazzy, who we adopted from the shelter. Junior, my oldest son rescued him on the dairy farmed where he worked. A dog was carrying him around like a play toy. He was very sick, and we didn't know if he would make it. Well he did, and is a huge, beautiful, super sweet cat. The third cat is Boo. A feral cat had kittens in my hubby's fire station. He caught the kittens and we kept one. I named him Boo because my husband brought him home on Halloween. I am surprised how well they have taken to each other so easily.

I love all things animals, sewing, crafts, Etsy, nature. I retired from nursing when we moved to Tennessee. So now I spend my time home schooling my youngest son, sewing and crafting, and enjoying life in these beautiful mountains. My husband and I love going to yard and estate sale, searching for that great treasures. To feed this love, we opened another Etsy store, Mountain Attic. So life if here is very full.

My biggest struggle is time management and a touch of ADD. I have all these ideas rolling around in my head (and some are a work in progress), but lack the discipline to get them finished. This is one of the reasons I do not spend a lot of time socializing here on Etsy.

I love reading this groups threads (occassionally posting, and look forward to reading more..

Hello!

I just joined the team after opening a new digital image shop that includes a lot of pet digital engravings, including some pretty cute cats and kittens (at least so they seem to me!). I look forward to participating in this team and getting to know its members!

Hi, I'm new to this team. I'm living in Maine and am a native New Englander. I have had cats, or I should say, they have had me as their person, for most of my life BUT, I don't now. When our beautiful Agnes died, it was too hard on my husband and he won't get another...well, hopefully he will change his mind, some day. In the mean time, I paint landscapes and sell them here under MyMainePaintings and on ebay under ambercolumbia. I also sell vintage items and paint whimsical animal art that I sell here and on eBay. I love drawing and painting cats and in the past did a number of commissions. Come Spring, I'll start doing that, again.

It is fun to find a group of Cat lovers. Adrienne aka Amber

Hi everyone--I am new to the team. I literally can't remember a time when there was not at least one cat in my life. Most of them were strays or rescues, however, I did purchase a Siamese, who I adored. He was so handsome, and he knew it!
I currently only have one cat due to the fact that we adopted a beagle from the SPCA, and he is too much of a hunting dog--he chases our cat. He would not hurt her, but he makes such a big deal out of the case--howling and making that beagle sound. Luckily she is a tough little alley cat and she can handle it, but other kitties would be traumatized.
I would love another Siamese!!

Hello, Cat People! I've always loved cats, and never felt happy if I didn't have at least one of them to share my life. Currently I have four.

My shop is named after my older two cats, Bajji and Tikka, who are brother and sister from a cat rescue. My younger cats, Winston and Nigel, were litter-mates from our vet's office.

I'm new to Etsy, and still finding my way around. I do other things too, but right now I'm painting cats.

Hi there! My name is Simone, I live in the Netherlands. I spend many hours in my home studio, to make my glass beads. My turtle colour cat likes to 'help' me and check out my glass and (hot) burner.
