Cats, cats, cats

MissouriCatLady, thank you so much! I’m so ready to get these results. We’re hoping it’s benign obviously and with my age, 26, the likelyhood of cancer is low but it has a birads 4b. So we will see. I go Monday for my biopsy and hopefully will have results by we

let us know, hray - sending prayers and positive vibes and hope your kitty gives you snuggles, they know when you need them. Hugs xx

The calico is Miss Felix and the black one is Midnight Louie. Miss Felix is 21 and Louie will be 4 in March

What a beautiful and lovely Miss Felix and Midnight Louie, such agility! Lovely kitties! 21 years old, oh my goodness!

Aw your calico has such soft looking fur! And aren't the black kitties just outrageous? Every black cat I've ever had has been insane about climbing and exploring and generally being outgoing and fearless.

looks similar to my grandca

Looks very similar. She would help me sew, make beds and read the newspaper. Now, not so much. She has to be lifted to get on the bed. She is diabetic, has hyperthyroidism, and arthritis, Poor baby. Louie had a Siamese father and mother was black with a white spot under her chin. He had a brother that was all black, 2 that were black & white and 1 that took after daddy. He is a sweetheart and 99% of the time a good cat. I love my babies. They were so funny after my surgery. I think they thought I had been to the vet and felt sorry for me. LOL

Elliott's like "What? This is a purrfectly good spot for me."

Did my Christmas shopping for the girls today. Got them some kitty treats and new collars for Christmas for their stockings and a bottle of catnip mist spray for their joint gift. I spray the catnip mist on their cat tree and they go bonkers!

Simone (aka Simonetta the Metta Petta, with the white) shows her love face to face. She likes me to get down on the floor with her and then she circles around me rubbing on my face with her face as she walks by. Or firmly head-butting me with her forehead. All while purring very loudly. This is her love language which she wants to do at least once a day. The rest of the time she is on window patrol, making sure nobody breaches the perimeter and clicking weirdly at any blue jays or crows who challenge her.

Nadia (aka Nacita) shows her love with dawn visits to wher my head peeking out from the covers. She scratches the covers a few times to request entry. Then she wants to snuggle into me and be petted with 2 hands. Alternatively she drops to the floor and shows me her belly and wants to be rubbed. A favorite spot for this is inside my bathtub where she can brace. She can make a large amount of drama out of a stuffed mouse.

Both love napping under my knees/ under the covers if I am reading in bed. Both love to chase their treats, thrown across my wood floors, pouncing and skidding. Both love to greet me at the front door. Simone is the alpha so she greets first.

Both were the babies of a feral mom who was a very good mother, all rescued, much like the kitties Missouri rescued. They are still a bit feral in behavior (they sniff everything thoroughly and they startle a bit easily) but are both very loving and cozy too.

They came to me a year ago Black Friday at the animal shelter, bonded pair of sisters. Lucky to have them!

My girls were like Velcro all weekend. They missed me being gone Friday to the funeral for my Grampa

the cat took over my daughter’s build-a-bear box -

On the subject of cat behaviour this is Salamini (she looked like a little salami when a kitten) with her “now why on earth would you think I attacked the Siamese?” expression.
