      Well,.............I have one with 3 legs....and he is a real piece of
    work!! Loves to lick his favorite dog's face...has a ball playing with
    that single, de-clawed front paw....and hops along just as fast as the
    4-legged ones do....'cept he hops along like a bunny...

Hannah - a very beautiful, smart, stubborn, talkative, fussy, demanding,
	 loving, funny lady.  Maybe a great teacher or mother...even
	 a good corporate executive with humanitarian instincts.  She
	 would definitely like having people around.

Mandycat - the Flash would be a red-haired, slender, tall model with great
	 taste in clothes (only the latest styles for me, Dahling) but with
	 a great sense of fun.  She would also be demanding, stubborn,
	 and have a wild temper when provoked.  She would be very feline
	 in her grace and movements.  She would be loving when she wanted
	 to be, playful when she wanted to be....and full of energy all the
	 time.  Oh, and she would really get even when provoked.

Sam -    banker. very rich, conservative, well-dressed, slightly portly.
	 good sense of humor...the kind of guy who would hop-scotch down
	 the sidewalk if he encountered a hop-scotch layout on a spring
	 day.  He would be kind, but demanding.  Not the least bit
	 tolerant of slovenly dress - but very generous.  Very big on
	 dignity.

Nick -   Sadly, Nick will always be trapped in the mind of a frightened
	 little kitten - threatened by everything, frightened of everyone
	 including me.  I'd like to think he would be happier if he could
	 find someone to talk to, but I'll never know.

    
    
    	Chloe - a bum.  All she does is sleep!  (but a very beautiful
    		bum!)
    
    	Audrey - Circus acrobat.  She jumps extremely high, nothing scares
    		 her and she has LOTS of energy.
    
    	Brandi - Army sergeant.  She's the boss. Stern, and only pays
    		 attention to you when she wants to.
    
    	Sasha -  Hmmm...a mom.  She is always cleaning the other cats.
    		 And loves to discipline Audrey.

    Hmmm.... interesting question.
    
    On the "two legs" subject... sometimes when one of our kitties
    is stretched full-up on its hind legs leaning on the storm door
    to get a breath of outside air, I'm surprised at just how "human"
    the resulting shape looks 8-)  Tamara (the artist in the family)
    tells me this is because leaning up against the door like that
    thrusts the shoulder blades out and arches the back, thus giving
    the cat's back a shape similar to that of a human's...
    
    Anyhow, as to what our cats would be like... hmmm.......
    
    Chalkie and Ralphie would be a pair of brothers, about two
    years apart, and always snapping at each other ("Daddy, he's
    looking at me!!  Make him stop looking at me!!").
    
    Ebony would be a quiet little tomboy-girl, always digging
    around, climbing trees, and generally getting into trouble.
    
    Cleo is definitely a mom; no question about it!  She'd be
    keeping the kids in line and taking care of everybody.
    
    Athena would be the teenage daughter of the bunch; she's always
    tussling with Cleo (just like a teen fighting with parents) and
    with Ebony (just like a teen fighting with her kid sister).  But
    when you get her by herself and BEING herself, she can be a real
    sweetie to be around.  Just don't bother her when she decides to
    lock herself in her room 8-)

    I guess I should put something in....  
    
    Jim, that look is what prompted this note.  I thought the same thing...
    
    The family,
    
    Hugo   And aristocratic bum, does care about materical things, just
           goes from hand out to hand out.  Walks very slow with a cane
    	   not paying attention to whats going on around him.  Clean dressed, 
    	   and wearing a boulder hat.  Everybody knows him, but he just
           moves on.  
    
    Bailey Would be tall, thin, and very cat like in her movements.  She
           would wear bright colors, loves to be notices. She loves people
           especially men.  She would have eyes that a man would die for.
           The only male she doesn't like is her old brother.  Thats
    	   because he knows how she is.  Yupe, I think she could be a high
           priced call girl.  :-)  
    
    Tiffy  He would be the son you never knew where he was.  He would
           always be in jeans, and always look like they were never washed.
           He would be the one who got into fights and tho got afew scars 
           would come home the winner.  He comes home for dinner, eats and
           then tells you he will be right back and is gone again.
    
    Phantom He is the clown of the house, he is the one that when things
            are going wrong he can make you smile or even laugh out loud.
            More so when your mad at him.  He's the son who goes to the 
            bathroom and gets locked in.  He would be the son who was
            washing the tub for you and would fall in.  
    
    So thats part of my family, each different, each trouble and each
    lovable and fun.  
    
    :-) Helena
    
           not taking much interest in that either.  

    
    
    Scruffy -- She's a angora/mix Main Coon.  Her tail is always up in
    	       the air and she has "quite!" a wiggle.   She sticks her
    	       nose up and smiles quite a bit...... so I think she'd
    	       make a great
    
    				..................MAY WEST!!!
    
    				(HA.....I can see her now in a long
    				 low-cut sexy dress and a big hat!)  HA!
    	       
    	       My Dudley Road Gang -- mix of girls and guys would be
    	       the Cowboys and Saloon girls in the neighborhood!   
    
    				I'm laughing..........
    
    				

Honey - the man of my dreams....those beautiful blue eyes and such a killer
	smile.  He'd drive a Mazda Miata.

Chauncey - well, I dunno.  I think he's fancy himself to be the strong,
	silent type, with beautiful blue eyes.  He'd drive a BMW.

Julie -	Julie would be the Aerobics Queen of Nashua.  She'd have a chronic
	case of PMS.  She'd drive a Harley.

Robin - Little Orphan Annie...misunderstood, but very loveable.  She'd be
	in therapy for years.  She'd drive a Camaro.

Biff  -	Oh, excuse me, that's Mr. Biff to you.  Or is it Major Biff, USMC?
	He'd drive my Blazer, or he'd have an enlisted man drive for him.

Mikey - He's the one your mother warned you about.  That little impish look,
	those silly feet, and he gives good kisses.  He'd drive a Jeep, wearing
	cutoff jeans, sneakers, and nothing else.

    
    	re: Mary
    
    
    	bahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa!  I loved your description of Julie.
    

    
    Otis -     STUD!  More confidence than even HE knows what to do with.
               Struts around like he's the cat's meow!
    
    
    Tiffany -  A tad insecure, loving, affectionate, slinky and always 
    	       taking a bath.  If there were a mirror around she would 
    	       always be in front of it - making sure that everything  
               is in it's right place.  She has a beauty mark and really
               does smile.  Marilyn Monroe!
    
    Marilyn, Otis and Tiffany
    

    Tamba - He would be a wonderful daddy who works all day and
            brings home the bacon and takes care of his family.
            I can picture him in a suit driving a Honda!  Very
            down to earth kind of guy.
    
    Poco  - Would be the whore on the corner of the street in one
            of her striking slut poses.  She would be naked and she
            wouldn't need a car because she would be picked up.
    
    Barkley - Would definitely be a security guard or a cop.  I can vision
            him in a uniform driving around in a powerful rig!  Beating the
            crap out of anyone who gets in his way.
    
    Anges  - I picture him as a teacher who is great with kids.  He
            would be the preppy type with the alligator sweaters and
            his kids at Yale.
    
    Chloe  - Would be a nurse.  Her very pleasant personality and her
             sweet face always helps her get her way.  She's so sweet
             and kind to all.
    
    Dewey - This guy would be the hunk of a man you see as the lifeguard
            at the beach.  Playing with all the young gals in their
            swimsuits.  He would be drooling all the time.
    
    Abby  - Abby would probably end up on the street corner with Poco...
            doing the dual slut poses or possibly modeling in the nude.

    I love all the discriptions.  I can almost see these kitten/people 
    walking around the house.  
    
    Thanks for the smiles.
    

	Kai would be a lover with a European flair. While he was wining and 
dinning you, he would be making eyes at the lady in the next table. He has a 
great sense of timing and a kiss that makes you forget all the things he's 
done that day. Although people would seek him out at social events, at home he 
would be a slob. He leaves his possessions scatted about and hair all over the 
sink. But, even with his faults, you can't but help love him for what he is 
because he gives more than he asks for.

	Teddy would be cool, quite. Maybe a country mailman or writer. Very 
laid back. If he was at a party, you might never know he was there. He would 
make a great roommate, he never touches anything. If he was a person, he would 
be the type that hopes to come back as a cat. 

    
    	Gee, mine seem so boring compared to the rest!
    

      Well, based on the trend here......
    
      "Cookie": Transportation is a chauffered Limo...gets up at 11:00...
    lunches at the country club with the elite.. Is into all sorts of
    charities, but only as a monetary contributor, thank you! Favorite food
    is Lobster..but will lower herself to boneless breast of chicken if
    need be..."does" museums...prefers the modern art and new wave sort...
    Sleeps in a canopied silkcovered bed...
    
    
      "Miss Meow": Typical housewife...drives '83 Ford station
    wagon...muffler has hole in it. Will take carload of boisterous 11 year
    olds 48 miles to youth-hockey practice at 3:00 A.M. because thats the
    only time they could get ice time. Is local den mother for cub scout
    troop...does volunteer work at local soup kitchen on Tuesday and
    Thursday afternoon.. Still gets Dad and 6 kids out of the house every
    morning on time.. Everybody in the neighborhood calls her when they
    need something...never asks for anything in return, and unfortunately,
    rarely gets anything...
    
    
      "Stormy": Drives 1989 Camaro..has 32 unpaid speeding tickes in glove
    compartment...(Last time she was hauled before the Judge on this, she
    gave him a big smile, he dismissed charges and took her to lunch at 
    the Club..). Never shows up on time for anything...but nobody ever gets
    upset with her...charm+. Would give her last dime to you if you needed
    it, but would probably never let you forget what she did.. Loves to
    spend time on the beach...sun is her thing...won surfboard contest last
    summer against 16 male surfers...had them really ticked off until she
    took off her wetsuit and they saw that bikini.....
    
      
       "Smokey": Lost left arm in 'Nam..refuses to be considered
    "handicapped". Does volunteer work at local Viet Nam Vet's rehab
    center. Plays touch football with his buddies on weekends...tells
    everyone to forget his missing arm...and after the first hit he makes
    on the others, they realize he means business... Gets along with
    everyone...would give the shirt off his back to a friend and NEVER ask
    for thanks or anything in return...liked by all..Drives specially
    equipped Chevy pickup with cap...has big mixed-breed dog who rides with
    him everywhere...coaches Little League baseball and Pop Warner
    football..
    
    
       "Luke": Owns and operates "Luke's A-1 Used Cars"...Drives 1990 Caddy
    Coupe de Ville (light blue)...always has a different lady with him on
    Friday nights... Tries to be a big-shot and wheel-and-deal with
    everyone, but if a 16 year old kid tries to buy that 1988 T-bird that's
    marked $9,999.00, and he only has $6,000.00, Luke'll tear up the price
    and sell it to him/her for $5,900.00.... Heart of gold...but comes on
    like a tiger until yuo know he's nuthin but a baby pussycat inside...
    Gives bigtime to a couple of local charities, but won't let them tell
    anyone about it...Usually can be found at "Tony's Italian Villa" on
    Saturday night with a dozen of his friends, piggin' out on everything
    on the menu...usually has to be thrown out of the place at 3:00 in the
    morning..always picks up the tab...

Hannah - a valley girl, albeit a shy one.  She'd have a ton of boyfriends, and 
	 would juggle them all.  She can't have a car yet cuz she's too young
	 to have a license. (She couldn't pay attention long enough to remember
	 where to put the key to turn it on, anyhow!!) She's wear mini-skirts
	 and midi-shirts.  (Earth to Hannah, earth to Hannah....come in Hannah!)
	 She adores her big brother.

Joshua - a 90's kind of guy. He wears dockers, has a good physique, is charming,
	 sociable, athletic.  He's the kind of guy you want your little sister
	 to date.  Tall, white and handsome.  He has graduated from his 
	 motorcycle to a Toyota Pickup.  He loves his little sister.

	Well, let's see:

		Muffet:  Well at 14, he's the elder statesman of the
		         house.  And he seems to act the part, he
			 tends to watch the goings on with a kind of
			 detached bemusement, although he's certainly
			 not adverse to joining in the fun!  I would
			 say he'd be much like Mark Twain if he were
			 a person.

		Pandora: Cleopatra, Queen of the Nile!  She definately
			 feels she is the Queen of the house (and all
			 she surveys!).  She takes slights very personally
			 and never forgets a grudge!  She hasn't yet
			 forgiven me for bringing Cocoa home, and it's
			 been over two years!  You are allowed to pat her
			 *when* she wants you to, and at no other time!
			 And, if she feels she needs love at 5am, of
			 course you will open your poor tired eyes and
			 oblige!!!!  (Either that, or she'd be the Red
			 Queen from Alice in Wonderland - Off With Their
			 Heads!!!)

		Oscar:	 An athlete - He's gotten especially good at
		 	 chasing his tail at the speed of sound as he's
			 gotten older!  He's 13, and much of the time
			 behaves like a geratric cat, but he has a lot
			 of spunk, rolling upside down and looking goofy
			 at the drop of a hat, and can always be talked
			 into chasing bows around!  And he is great at
			 that tail chasing trick - Chases it as fast as
			 he can possibly go, catches it, falls over, gets
			 up, then chases it in the other direction! (Got
			 to unwind you know!)

		Cocoa:   Tightrope walker!  She can climb and balance on
			 anything!  She is constantly on the railing to
			 the balcony which is about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch
			 thick!  And, she's on top of doors, the roof once
			 (she had much more fun with that one than I did!)
			 and the beams in the greenhouse!  And she doesn't
			 even need a balance pole!

    Callie---->She'd deliver singing & dancing Telegrams! She's a very
    vocal & acrobatic little bundle of energy. 
    
    Tabitha----> She'd be either one of those snooty agency secretaries,
    that sit behind their big desks, & say, "NEXT PLEASE...."...OR....
    She'd own/operate her beauty/dress botique. Only the MOST elite members
    of society would use her fine establishment...after all, she wouldn't
    associate w/ anyone else!!
    
    Bonnie & the goofy girls... 

    Ralph - Alias Al Capone!  (that is he should have been and sometimes I swear
            he's the reincarnate of Al - it's in his eyes.)  He doesn't take 
            s*it from anyone or anything (except puts up with his Mom which he 
            loves and she loves him "Even Dad calls him a Mama's Boy!")     
            He'll test his limits to no end.  He'll even confront the
    	    dogs in the neighborhood if they're on his "turf."  He's
            extremely protective of his domain and can get *real nasty*
            in protecting it.  Other than that he's my boy and is 
            as sweet as pie.  Loves to follow us around to see what's up
            in the (oops - his) "neighborhood."
    
    Alice - The little ballerina!  She and Ralph are complete opposites! 
            She wouldn't hurt a fly (but a mouse, yes - have been brought
            many presents from her.)  She is so graceful and sweet.  Even
      	    when she's lying down she does her stretching exercises just
            like a dancer does.
