I have eight, yes eight, cats. At one time, I bred Himalayans. It's been many years since I've had kittens. All of my breeders are fixed pets now.

My youngest are a brother and sister, bought as pets. Tucker and Tess are two years old. Tucker is a brown mackerel tabby Persian. Tess is a brown classic tabby Persian.

Mac is a flame point Himalayan and is 14 years old. He used to be my stud cat.

Kelsey (seal point) and Page (blue point) were my queens. They are both Mac's age.

Solo, named because she was the only kitten in the "litter", is Mac's daughter. She's ll years old. She's a tortishell Persian.

Tyler is a bi-color Persian, although I think he looks like a Maincoon. He's about 15 years old.

And, last but not least, is Willow. She's my only short hair. She was a barn kitty and is about 16 years old.

Needless to say, I have a brood. And on the whole, a very old brood.
