Cats are funny Creatures

I don't know about you but I am more of a cat person than a dog person. Thankfully my hubby likes cats as well. When we got together I had my cat from my childhood and he took to loving her as much as I did. Her name was Felicia (aka, Foofy, Princess Foof, etc). She was a great cat, beautiful, cuddly, and new she was the queen of the house. She got to be almost 15 before we had to put her to sleep. She was so sick and it was the last thing my hubby and I wanted to do. That was a very sad day. We were distraught for weeks and wondered if we did the right thing since we missed her so much.

A few weeks after she passed my hubby was away on business and the house just felt really empty. I started to look for kittens available on the net when I came across two of the cutest kittens and I fell in love with them right away.

See what I mean - How could you resist these two cuties. Well, I forwarded the pictures to my hubby and he agreed that we could get them both. I contacted the lady who had them and when Scott got home we hopped the ferry to Nanaimo to go and pick them up. That was the start of a new love that helped let go of the hurt of the old love.

The boys just turned 2 in March of this year. They are a Ragdoll Himalayan Cross. Riddick is a poly-dactyl which means he has extra toes. He is a seal point so his paws are dark which makes him look like he is wearing little oven mitts. His brother Mowgli is a seal point as well but he is mitted so he has the white paws and the streak of white across his nose.

They both have very unique personalities differing quite a bit from each other. Riddick is a constant whiner - while Mowgli barely makes a peep. Mowgli is quite like a dog in that he likes to play fetch with specific toys and brings his leash to you to let you know he wants to go for a walk. Yes we take our cats outside for walks - mostly they walk us but we all enjoy it none the less.

As much as we were sad to let Felicia go - we are happy to have these crazy, new boys in our lives. My mom always tells us we have such naughty children - since they are always getting into some kind of mischief. I think it is the fact of having two - they egg each other on to do things I am SURE they wouldn't do if they were by themselves. Yes, at times they are like having children, but we look forward to the many years ahead that they will be a part of our family.

Aren't they cute - now one alone can cover the whole keyboard

Well, I guess I should go and start some laundry and cleaning now. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned to see how long I can keep this blog thing going.......

What about you are you more of a cat or a dog person?
