Raisin, the striped cat, came into our home almost 11 years ago. Chess was about 15 months old and gentleness towards small kittens was not in his repertoire of behaviors. I wasn't sure if she would make it or not. Make it she did and actually has become a sort of old faithful in our home, looking with much disdain upon the gray usurper called Blue.
Blue is only his first given name. So given because as a kitten his gray fur had a bluish tint. His given names since are Puff Daddy, the Blue Duke of Disaster, and Shtoopy. He became part of our family as a charity case. His promiscuous and aptly named mom, Kissie, threw her owner, a friend of mine, into throes when one cat became five. In her laundry room.
I was there for the delivery and agreed to take a furball off of her hands. Ever since, I've had fur on mine. I'd like a long-haired cat that doesn't shed, please.
In lieu of that, these two fur covered, cat brained, heat seeking missiles have now been properly introduced to the blog.

Oh! Sweet kitties! I do love the way cats live together--playing and fighting and ignoring each other. Makes me miss our old George.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a non shedding long haired cat, too. Our Buster has a medium length coat but he's a Persian so he sheds like crazy. He's like Pigpen from the Charlie Brown comic strip--there is aways a halo of hair floating about him.
But he is sweet. I love cats.
