Our cats: Lady G and JJ. Both are Tonkinese, aka "Tonks", which is a hybrid of the Siamese and Burmese breeds. Lady G is an AOV (All Other Variety) and JJ is a purebred Champagne Mink. Unfortunately, Lady G died recently (11/7/95) after almost seven years of being a great family member and companion to JJ. She developed a blood clot in her spine and despite the miracles of modern veterinary medicine (hyperbaric chambers, nitro-glycerin drips, etc.) and more than one SGI paycheck, she passed away. JJ hasn't figured out yet where his buddy went, or why we're smothering him with affection, but he remains in good health.

Here's a recent picture of JJ (on the right) with Sheba, a six month old Siamese kitten. She reminds us of Lady Godiva in many ways.

Here's a close-up of Sheba, complete with blue eyes and big ears.
