Well, ah, hello. Housekeeping stuff first: I still get the occasional email from someone who wants a kitten, and I still send them out... if I can find them. Several litters went AWOL for awhile, but I've found them again. So if you were lucky enough to request a kitten from one of those few litters, and never got him, hit me again.

And now, the future of The Petz Home, TPH, Home, Meyow... everything it's been called. I have to say I lost all interest in petz over a year ago. I had to check and make sure the program was still installed properly. Petz played a large part in my childhood, and opened the doors of the world wide web for me. So I couldn't possibly just delete the /petz/ directory on meyow.net and be done with it. Even if one person visited a month.

I put thousands of hours worth of work into this website, and it is only right for it to have its place while I own a bit of webspace. So, TPH will be fused with the next version of meyow.net, part memorial and part functional. I say functional, because there will still be much to see and download. :)

This will take me awhile, of course, and classes start next Wednesday - gods! since when am I in college? - but this will get done, as this is something I feel I need to do.

Welcome to Meyow.

This is a Petz site. More specifically, this is a Petz site for the breeding of calico catz. If you didn't understand any of that, I suggest you go to petz.com or just head off to another website.

On to specifics. I'm Janz. This site, simply 'Meyow', has replaced 'the petz home' (tph), which has been closed for 5 months. Meyow is a bit smaller (both in appearance and content) but certainly not the same as tph.

The shows are gone, which were quite something. I believe the number of judged shows ended at 80. Five awards per show... times eighty... is 400. Four hundred unique show awards. Wow. For a lazy bum like me, that's a lot. Heh.

The downloadable petz are gone... until I take the time to choose the ones I still want up, and the ones that are either a waste of space or pretty enough to keep. 151 catz (mostly calicos) to go though...

All of the other pages are gone... most of it was useless now, anyway.

What's here is... well, I'll say it, a cattery. A breeding facility. Whatever you wish to call it. I've brought out my best five pairs of calicos, bred them, and am using this little site to display their offspring. Hopefully they're pleasing enough for people to come and adopt them. I'll say that I've kept quite a few for myself, and I'm not easily swayed into adopting more critters.

I believe everything else is explained on the other pages... if not, go to the FAQ page (link in the top right corner). And if you've read this entire introduction... I'm amazed...
