Kitty, Kitty!

I love my kitties. People probably get tired of me posting pics of my cats on Facebook, but I swear I'm not a lonely cat lady.


We have two cats and they are about 12 years old. We got them from my friend, Lory, when her cat had a litter. They are brothers.  Tigger is the striped tabby, and Cuddles is the gray one.

Cuddles is a fairly ordinary cat, no offense to Cuddles. He is a boy, but is so skinny, light on his feet, and always defers to Tigger. We have joked that he is gay. Once in awhile, when he's had enough, he will start a fight with Tigger, but most of the time he's mellow.  He will also find bubble wrap and carry it out to the living room if there is any to be found.

But for the most part, Tigger is the one with all the personality. Our girls were young when we got the cats. The cats have no fear of people, because they have been played with, dressed up, pushed in strollers -- you name it -- since they were kittens. Tigger will still ride around in a laundry basket while being pushed around the floor. He will lay in Chris's arms, on his back, and let his tummy be rubbed. Tigger goes "hunting" everyday. He goes upstairs and brings down socks, pants, any clothing he can carry or drag, and leaves it as a gift on the floor downstairs. He especially does this if someone leaves the house. When Chris goes to work, Tigger has been known to go upstairs and bring down up to 15 pieces of clothing, one at a time.  Clean laundry, dirty laundry -- it doesn't matter -- and Amy always has clothes all over her floor, so he has a constant supply.  And he meows while bringing stuff down -- which sounds quite weird with a mouth full of clothes.

It's all nice and cute, unless we walk in the empty house with someone and there are dirty undies on the floor.  Yes, he can open our sliding closet doors to get to the laundry.  He has also been known to unzip my gym bag and get out my gym clothes and towels if he is desperate.

I also just found out he likes to eat ice cubes.  He sleeps with his face in any stinky shoes that are lying about.  He weighs about five pounds more than Cuddles, and He is so cute, I just keep taking pics!  I took these this week.
