Remember me? It's Knuckles!

Here I am, all grown up! Look at those beautiful legs. Can you believe I ever looked like this? Knuckles' name is Gnocchi now (did I spell that right)?



He's either still a little guy, or that's one big darned TV.

Here's his brother Tyco

And Brother Elvis

Sister Darla

And Brother Jack! (who is getting foster/adopted as soon as I get my butt in gear!!!)

And finally, sweet funny Mom cat Espie who still needs a home

How is he doing with his wrist/paw handicap? He looks undaunted on the television.

He's grown up into such a handsome boy! Did his legs straighten out on their own or did he have to have some kind of treatment for them?

Oh Knuckles,ahem, Gnocci, I'm so happy for you! You stole my heart when I met you. And I bet Darla and Elvis miss beating up on you--they tear around the house after each other all the time!

From Knuckles/Gnocchi's caretaker: I just looked on your site and saw the picture of our bad-boy Gnocchi. He
does have long legs, but he is a small cat, even compared to his companion, Violet. However, he has more energy than the other 5 cats combined. He eats like a piggy (on New Year's Eve he had pate and duck and on Christmas Eve he had lobster) and he fetches!! If you throw his mouse, he will run down the hall, grab it, bring it back and drop it in your hand. Troy hurt his elbow one day because he threw the mouse so much.

He is very healthy, grew fine without any intervention from us (he was looked at by the Vet when he was neutered -- or spayed, I never know which is which) and he is still a love-bug baby, but he is often too wired up to sit for long. When he does, he likes to bite the chin and nose and kneed. He makes himself heard.

He is a delightful cat, full of energy and personality. He is a
trouble-maker and Violet sits by quietly while Gnocchi gets into
trouble. She is a BEAUTIFUL cat and so warm and sweet. She is getting big and has the fantastic silent meow still. We love them both like crazy and we are so glad to have them.

We'll watch his growth and make sure he is healthy, but we figure he'll be pretty small all his life. Again, his size does not indicate his energy or presence in our house!

I would have responded to your blog, but don't know how to do so. I
thought people might want to know that he is A-okay and very, very happy. - Gretchen
