Ok.. the Cats!
First up, our black & white tuxedo is Daisy..she was adopted as an
adult with health problems (bad teeth)..we kept her name from the
shelter. She was the one who just had the cancer tumor removed
and is doing very well! She is our lap cat, a huge purrer and
prefers to be near us.
Lola is a furry mess.. We have a Fort History dig every summer
by the river in a wooded area. I took Amy down to show her the
awesome old 1700 items they had dug up when Lola found us.
She was just a furry little kitten and well, we couldn't leave her there
for the coyotes to eat...no one ever claimed her so home she came.
She is still pretty small and for at least the first month the dogs chased
her because they really did think she was a squirrel.
Nemo is solid black with some white whiskers...Amy had adopted him
before we met. He is not a lap cat, but he loves to snuggle up next to you
when you are in bed. he is very regal and has the aura of being an Egyptian
Cat God. He also fetches water bottle caps and milk rings.
Next up is the "E Boys". Amy's mom had a feral cat find its way into her garage.
She left food for it, it gave birth to kittens a short time later, then a week after that
the mother cat crawled up in the rafters and died (from what we don't know).
Amy's mom took the kittens in and hand raised them..we helped when they had to
go to Mayo Clinic..When they were 7 weeks old...her mom kept two and we took
the black one; "Eli" and the gray one "Einstein". They are total cuddle bugs,,,
Einstein fetches milk rings, loves to lay on my chest when I'm on the nook reading
WDWFGU's, and will stare into your eyes like he is reading your soul. Eli
prefers to only be held when you are right out of the shower! He is all over you
and you can't hardly dry off as he wants to be held. He is the talker and wil
tell you plenty of "stories" whenever you pay attention to him. The picture is
of him lying next to Nemo.
