Garth belongs to a graphic design online chat forum and that was a post. It rings true in our household as we have two of those lovely critters. Don’t get me wrong, I love our cats and they have warmed up to me a lot through the years (cats in general are very picky about who they allow into their lives). But when you hear those creatures heave, you just want to run and hide. I have tried sending the kids in to clean up the messes and all of a sudden the were “too young” for something. Hmmm…curious.

Sam the Cat

Eduardo

Every morning, I am greeted by these two little fellas when I open my bedroom door. They prance around rubbing up against anything available – me, the wall, each other – and purr. I won’t pretend it’s for me…they want their morning cat treats.

Sam and Eddie are the kids’ cats. They follow the kids around and “babysit” them. Sam is the older and more predictable of the two. Eddie is still somewhat of a kitty and is our catdog. They are indoor cats and unfortunately they claw everything but the two scratching posts we have for them.
