there's a bunch of us, for sure

Nissy here...  Reportin' from the household of twelve at Nerissa's Life.  Ten cats and two peeps.

So you wanna know 'bout the family, huh?  Hmmm...  Let's see...

There are my two marmalade brothers, Rushton and Seville.  Rushy is the one with the long fur.

My sister - yes, SISTER - Mason has fawn fur...  not orange like the marmies.

Then there's my sister, Tobias.  Yeah, she's a girl with a boys' name just like Mason.  Toby is a sterling silver tabby just like me except she's a lot smaller and she's a girl.

My sister Tess is a dilute calico.  She growls a lot.  She growls at EVERYTHING.  Even growls at the weather.

My sisters Beatrice and Constance were my littermates.  Both are calicos but Connie has a lot more white.  Also, Connie is part tabby 'cause instead of black, she has sterling silver tabby just like me.

My Auntie Blossom is gonna be SEVENTEEN at the end of this month!  She's a calico like Bea.

My Auntie Primrose is a tortie and is gonna be SEVENTEEN this month, too.  She and Blossom were born here in Canada but 'conceived' in Venezuela...  whatever THAT means.  They flew to Canada in their mama's tummy before they were born.
