Jordon has 3 big furry brothers, which we haven't mentioned before. We don't want to leave them out! In the top picture with Don and Jordon is Sammy, who was my cat before Don and I got together. He is 6 years old and was a farm kitty; I have had him since he was just a few weeks old. He is very sweet and affectionate (to the point of overkill sometimes). He likes to "help" many nights when we put Jordon down to sleep if we rock him in his little mini-rocker. And when I say help, I mean get in the way and beg for attention. Scooter is the black and white tuxedo cat; he was Don's cat before I met him. When I first met Don, I remember thinking it was kinda strange for a single straight guy to have a cat. But Don is an animal lover, and someone pawned him off as a kitten. Scooter is 8 years old and very loyal to Don; he doesn't stray too far away if Don is around. He is usually content to do his own thing most of the time and doesn't require much attention. He actually prefers to be left alone most of the time. The last pictures are of Smokey, the gray cat. He is our dumpster kitty that followed us home last September one night from a walk. We are both animal lovers, and we were suckers when this little kitten followed us for over half a mile home, crying the whole time. He had a very loud purr and just seemed to be so thankful to have a home. The other cats tolerated him much better than other cats they have been around in the past. Now that Smokey has grown and is around a year old, he is a bit of a terrorizer and instigator in harrassing Sammy and Scooter. You can see that Smokey has a signature spread eagle pose -- Don and I had never seen a cat lay like this before but he does it all the time. So far the cats have been great with Jordon. They sniff at him every now and then, but otherwise don't get too close and mainly keep their distance, especially when he is wailing.
