My name is Sharon Cowherd, and I am the proud owner of
3 precious cats. They are a great joy in mine and my husband’s
life. We also have a loyal dog in the family.
I have always loved cats for as long as I can remember.
I do not have a preference in breed, but I do like the short
hair tiger cats. Growing up I only had a few cats as pets
and they were outdoors, not everyone loves cats, and most
in my family preferred dogs. I also love dogs, but not as
much as cats.
It wasn’t until six years ago that I started my own family
of cats, which I am keeping indoors. Our first was Tiggy,
and our intention was to have only one, but a month later
we took in her sister, Cuddles. Then two years later my
brother needed to find a home for his dog, Polar Bear, and
we took him into our home. It was easy for him as he knew
us and loved cats, but they didn’t think it was so wise, I am
sure they thought we were crazy for letting a dog into their
house. They did get used to him and were very happy.
We later had to let Cuddles go as she was real sick and didn’t
want her suffering any longer. Again our intention was to
just have one cat, but I started looking for another cat to
add to our home, and I found her. Her name was Leena, and
she didn’t come alone. We also adopted her little boy, Cooper.
It was a lot more to handle at first, having to add another litter
box and trying to get all of them to get along. But we have not
regretted it one bit, our love for them outweighs all the little
troubles from the beginning.
I will share more about each cat and their personalities in
other posts. I just wanted to share a quick history of our cats.
I will also be sharing my experiences with my cats’ care and
all the joy that we receive from them. As a cat owner I still
learn a lot from them everyday and also look for more
information to keep them healthy and happy, and I will share
that information with you.

What wonderful cats! I love(I’m not sure if it is Cuddles),watching TV! I’ve heard some people say that cats don’t do anything, and aren’t affectionate. They can’t be more wrong! If you spend time with them, they give it back! I’m sure people who have cats, know what I mean. Cooper’s face! Beautiful! We have a tiger cat(a rescue). We had 6 cats at one time. Just had one pass to the Rainbow Bridge, July 12, from complications to diabetes. I love all the little things that Cuddles did! You will always remember that! I agree that when an animal passes, you shouldn’t go right out and get another one. Our Lucky, the 1 cat we have now, still is grieving, I think. They were brothers.
Polar Bear is a beautiful dog! Some cats and dogs do get along really well with each other. Patches, The one that passed, loved all dogs. Good for you for taking in the animals that you did! The love for animals does outweigh everything else! We also have 4 dogs(all rescues), and 4 Pgymy Goats. Good luck with everything! Wonderful pictures!
