The Moggies of Moggy Hollow Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia says Moggy or moggie (plural moggies) is a British affectionate term for a domestic cat. Yes we're cat lovers. We have a number of cats we keep as pets, plus some we've helped nurse back to health as "foster parents" and some outdoor "barn cats" who keep the mice population down. We're working on a photogallery of cats doing cute things, but until its ready here are some neat kitties and a little bit about what makes them special. Please read more in the companion Moggyhollow Blog about our moggies! We're also planning to share some of our tips and hints and/or links to good information for other cat owners. Please check back frequently for updates!

About 16 years old now, Phoebe is a sweet little kitty who likes to sit on your lap. Mandinka sort of rules the roost, the dominant cat in the household. She is always perched on the highest corners, guarding the litter box or the food bowls for whatever reason cats seem to think this is important or offers greater status. Sabrina should have been named Trinity after the character in The Matrix. She is really fast and can run sideways on walls, leap tall furniture and generally cause all kinds of havoc. Max and Mandinka (as a kitten).     Gone on to Puss n' Boots Hill Lou's cat Hicks passed away in the fall of 2005 after a short illness. He was originally to be named Zastrozzi for the lead character in the Percy gothic novel of the same name. But Lou ended up naming him after a character in the film Aliens. He could have been called Mistopholes, given his amazing talents. When visitors came to Moggy Hollow most of the other cats ran away and hid. But Hicks would come to greet them. He was very smart and could open doors, food containers - almost anything. Always mischievous, but as loyal as any pet could ever be...   Rusty was one of our feral cats. She lived on our ridge, but relied on us for food, shelter (a converted doghouse) and medicine at times. She was as sweet as any pet, and sometimes she seemed like she wanted to move inside - but she had a strong will to live the very hard life outdoors. She mothered several kittens - and after she passed away this year we managed to save a couple of them. We'll always remember Rusty through her kittens, though our backdoor will never be the same without her waiting for us every morning and every evening.       Copyright (C) 1999-2007 Round Mountain Group, LP.
