We got my 10-month-old cat Pooka from a farm when he was 9 weeks old. Since then I have enjoyed playing, sleeping, and wrestling with him. He may look young in these pictures, but he weighs almost 11 pounds. His personality is mostly wild, but after he's done wrestling he likes to go to sleep on our piano bench with his feet, legs, and head hanging off.

Kitawana is a 9-year-old cat who my family saved from getting put to sleep at the pound. Some people say they love their pet because they have had them since they were babies, but me, I've only known her a little while, but I feel as if I've known her my whole life. We were meant to find each other. She's so cute! I love her more than chocolate itself!

Mei Mei is unique
in every way.
Colors of black, white and specks of grey.
Her eyes glitter gold.
She's strong and bold.
She's playful and sweet,
and loves her chicken-flavored treats.
She jumps on walls,
and comes when I call.
Mei Mei will always be my friend.
Till the very end.
