Cats of the Hill house


All of these animals except for Doogie were feral, dumped in the desert by previous owners (Tang, Dorian and Marm were probably even born in the wild) and came to our doorstep. I have been bitten by most of them at least once during their domestication! They now only go out screened in back porch and are very happy with that.

Caruso is likely the father of Tangles though we have no DNA evidence!

The current cast....

Marmalade...the 20lb behemoth

You be the judge....has Marmalade made the transition from a ferrile cat to a domesticated house cat?

A typical evening...


The daily exercise fight. Not as serious as it looks.

Hill House cats that have gone before...

Khaki 1987-2005 (a.k.a."Khak" and "Psycho-cat") in one of her more calm Valium enhanced moments here.




Felix..."the cat"...He was a polydactal with 8 toes on each foot, the extra three being arranged and functioned like an opposable thumb!
