Cats

This past April, we lost Benny. Christies cat, who was 14 years old, passed away. I first encountered Benny when he was about seven. He was none to pleased that this guy was competing for the affections of his person. Benny let me know what he thought of me when he peed on my coat. Eventually we learned to tolerate each other and I think he actually liked me in his later years. We miss him.

We welcomed a new member to the family soon after. We vowed not to get another orange tabby. Check out how that went.

Meet Dasiy. The last available Kitten at the Shelter when we went. She melted Christies heart and made her way into our home. She's great with Robbie and is quite the ferocious attack cat when we are walking up the steps. I've heard of lap cats, but I've never heard of lap kittens until now. She snuggles right up. Daisy also thinks she is a parrot. She'll just hang out draped on my shoulder looking around.

Here is Christie with our new friend. Daisy is actually much bigger now. Here she has the "my ears are bigger than my body" look.
