When he lays on me his body can easily go from knee to chest. Its like having a lion living in the house, especially litter box cleaning time :shock:
Well, I want to see a current pic of Finnegan -- I just can't imagine a kitty that big :lol: :lol:

Mine is my son when he intercepted the football and ran 85 yards for a touchdown.

Well as you can tell by my name I chose...I decided to use the pic of my 5 precious grand babies. The 3 girls are all sisters..my son's. The girls on each side are identical. The one in the middle is my heart...my first born.
The other girl & only boy are my daughter's twins.
Daughter & I took them last July to get their pic taken together.
Won't change mine till we get them together again for a new pic.

Mine is of my 3 babies. I love my Lhasa's so much I recently adopted another. Didn't think far enough out though. He wants to sit in my lap while I quilt, until he gets comfortable in the household.

I chose a photo of my favorite quilt and one and only ever UFO which is reconstructed into my avatar. I posted it in the photos section as "pattys 38 year quilt." After storing it away for years while learning how to quilt, tearing it apart and then reconstructing it from square one; it is my avatar.

Mine is my Lhasa Apso/Maltese cross, Moppet. She is 11 years old and a real sweetie. I love this photo of her looking dreamy and I won't be changing it.

I also love looking at everyones avatar and recognise posters by their pic.

.....and I want to see a current pic of the BIG Maine Coon too! :D
