Meet the Ashby-Thomas tribe

Lana Banana

Lana is the OG cat. She was the first and she wishes she was the only. Pet her too much she'll scream at you. Pet her too little she'll scream at you, but don't worry, she's all hiss and no bite.

Ma-petite

The nervous nelly of the group. She a skill ninja, because you'll never see her. The only person who can ever get near her for pets is me(Tim).

Titus Andromedon

The attention hog of the house. He loves getting pets from everyone and warms up quickly to new people.

Mad-eye Margo

Margo is the rough and tough cat of the group. She was a street kitty, but now lives a life of luxury. Poor girl lost some of her depth perception when she lost her eye, now she bumps into low hanging furniture.
