The Threesome |
|
|
|
Now that I have your attention ;)
|
|
|
|
Let me introduce our terrible threesome of cats! |
|
|
|

First, we have Merrt. Merrt is a flame point Himalayan. He's a three year old neutered male who is....big.... and that's a bit of an understatement;) He's about 18 pounds, and while he is a tad overweight, he is mostly just a big cat. Merrt was the first pet Eric & I took in. We got him as a kitten at about 4 months old. He's grown into a great cat, and while definitely not a lap cat, he is a social guy nonetheless, typically wanting to be in the same room where you are and asking for pets on his terms only ;) |

It's a shaved Merrt! |

Cow comes prancing next. Cow, as his name might suggest, is a black & white domestic short hair. He's a neutered male also, and like Merrt is about 3 years old. He was a stray who came into a local shelter where I worked (sense a trend here?). I took him home because he "wasn't eatting", although the second I introduced him to Merrt, I guess he figured he had better eat or he wouldn't get any food at all! He's our window cat...he loves nothing better than hanging out in the windows observing the outside world. Eric & I don't let the cats outside (much to Cow's chagrin), although with this boy we do take him out in our yard on a leash. |

Last of all, but certainly not least (to use an overused saying!), comes Bug. Bug is another stray who came to find her way to us. She is a two-year old tortie female, spayed, of course. She's our skitzocat, who only likes people she knows. She hides when she even thinks "strangers" are coming over, and so most people don't see her. Although she did get to know her "kittysitters" quite well! When Eric & I are gone over the weekend, his parent's come over to check on & feed the cats...she apparently knows & trusts them well enough now that she doesn't hide on them. She also has been known to ambush my sister's feet when Liz stays over while we are gone on longer term trips! |
