Regan, HB, Pumpkin, Yoshi, and Cricket
Regan - 1994 - 2011
Regan, also known as Mama Kitty, Mamacita, Psycho Bitch Kitty from Hell, the Lazy Sleeping Bitch, and Empress Bitch of the Universe. As a feral cat on the streets of New York City, she had a rough start in life. She came to me when she was 2 years old, and it took a full year for her to trust me. After that she was my best friend. Together we moved cross country 4 times, from Tampa to Phoenix, then to Seattle, then back to Phoenix, and then to Chicago. We had 15 years together and I miss her.
HB - 2000 - 2015
HB was originally knows as Elspeth. She came into our lives in the fall of 2000 as a companion for Regan. She was a sick with kennel cough when we got her and because of it she had horrible breath. The name Elspeth quickly became Hells Breath, and eventually just HB. She answered to that, as well as Hebzilla. Since she was the youngest, she was also knows as Baby Kitty. When Regan passed, she became the Old Lady Kitty.
Pumpkin - 1990 - 2007
Pumpkin, also known as Punky. He lived up to his name. He was a fat orange tabby weighing in at close to 20 pounds. He was my mothers cat and when she passed away he came to live with me. Pumpkin was a sweet boy who had issues with food. He insisted he was starving to death at every meal and keeping his weight under control was a constant struggle. Due to his size, he could sit on his bottom and beg like a dog. Punky knew it was cute, so he did it frequently for attention. He moved cross country 3 times. Once with my mother, and twice with me. Work required me to move cross country again in 2006. Due to his age and declining health, I decided it was best that he not move the last time. It would have been too hard on him. I had a friend who he adored and any time she came to visit he would throw himself at her. Pumpkin stayed with her the last year of his life and he lived out his days being loved and spoiled rotten.
Yoshi - 2018 - 2020
Yoshi was a Gold-Capped Conure we had originally intended to be a breeder. He had an amazing personality and was content to just hang out and be loved. In the fall of 2019 Yoshi contracted a bacterial infection that caused him some serious issues. He had multiple vet visits, injections, and several rounds of antibiotics. Unfortunately the infection left him with a damaged metabolism. He would gain weight and then rapidly lose it, only to gain it back. He was a trouper through all of his treatments. As long as he could get a cuddle he didn't care what you did to him. We paired him with Cricket who took to him as his sworn protector. He let Yoshi come out for a cuddle, but you didn't dare take him out of Cricket's sight, or he would let you know about it. In the summer of 2020 he started to decline again and we decided to spare him more rounds of invasive treatments and medications. We made him as comfortable as possible and he passed peacefully in our hands with Cricket standing watch nearby. He was a sweet bird, and we miss him terribly.
Cricket - 2006 - 2021
Cricket was a hybrid conure. His father was a very red Sun conure, and his mother was a Jenday conure. This gave him some amazing coloration. He was very sweet and very independent. Never wasting a moment if he had something to say.
We lost Cricket in the fall of 2021 after he had a seizure.

Odin - 2011 - 2023
Odin was born in May of 2011, and joined our home in September of 2013. He's a strange one and is the oddest cat I've ever had. At first he was very standoffish and sometimes really unfriendly. Over time we managed to smooth out his rough spots. He likes to go into the shower late at night and meow into the drain. Due to his odd behavior our vet believes he came from a hoarding situation and never learned appropriate social skills for a cat.
Unfortunately, Odin suffered from kidney disease that may have been genetic or due to his early life situation. We treated it for years and gave him the best life possible. He had a quick decline and left us in April of 2023.
