[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2578456, member: 401801"] Ooh, what a handsome bunch! I did disable private messages a long time ago. There were some people on here a year or two back who got a bit.... Pushy, let's say. I should've asked the mods for help, but I was too timid to and didn't want to bother them, and some followed me over to Facebook, where no mods could've helped anyway, so ah well. I'll have to keep it that way, I'm afraid, before that sort of thing happens again. When someone's scared, they'll assume anyone is a lifebuoy, even if they're dragging said person down with them. Nothing personal, it's just... It got scary back then. BUT, that said, they are absolutely stunning cats...! What I wouldn't give to have such charmers in front of my lens. Those eyes... <3 (Besides, I really like bats, and their amazing ears do cater to that as well, haha). I'm attaching pics of Charlie and Vicky (Charlie being the solid black, Vicky the tuxedo; they're previously feral kittens, brother and sister), who were unwanted moggies over at the SPCA. They were there for 7 (!!!) months... When we met them and they were just terrified of us, that sealed the deal.
