I joined a while back, apparently, after getting my first cat.
Her name was Zombi. She was a wonderful cat. And she's gone. January 31st.
I wanted to wait, grieve, and try to pay down the vet bills, but sometimes things don't work out the way you plan.
We now have two 7 month old kittens: El and Morti.
Two cats at once is strange and new.
They're both shorthairs, both apparently all black, and both probably from the same litter. They were even kept in the same pen at the shelter.
El is a strange mixture of timid and brave--timid when I'm standing, but brave when I'm doing things that should scare a cat. She's not afraid of the vacuum, and took a quite commanding supervisory role when I was rebuilding some furniture the other day.
Morti is the bigger sister for now, having apparently hit a random growth spurt. And she's teaching me how to play fetch.
They are currently stampeding across the house in a 'you chase me then I'll chase you' game.
This was Zombi, at the beginning of the end. She never stopped being this sweet, and I have a lot of pictures of her doing her weird 'bury her face in my hand' thing.
And here are El and Morti.
El has the pink collar. Morti had that black and white collar, but she disposed of it, and the replacement.
...and it's now 'walk on the keyboard' time, apparently, which means I need to wrap this up before it becomes nothing but cat-like typing.
