We have the funniest cats. Since I can think of nothing deep and meaningful to say I will tell you about them. They are like our kids. We spoil them rotten and would do anything for them (and just about have).
Huzzah, the male, is a black and white domestic short-hair. As far as I can tell, that means he is the "typical" cat. He weighs about 20 pounds and is SUPER cuddly. He is like every farm animal rolled into one. He eats like a pig, looks like a cow, follows you around like a puppy and runs away like a chicken. His favorite thing in the world is to be snuggled. Any time we sit on the couch (esp. Mikey) Zah comes along to snuggle. He just walks up and flops down on you. If you are not giving him enough attention he reaches up and pats you on the cheek. He likes to play with this little puff-ball thing and when he is done he usually puts it in his food dish. If he is unhappy with the state of his litterbox, he walks around the house YOWLING. He also does this if he can't find Zazzy (the other kitty). He is pretty dependant on the rest of the family members!
Pizzazz, the other one is a Purebred Scottish Fold. Now, normally the word "purebred" signifies a good thing. In the Fold case, however, it means that some cat breeder was operating without a conscience. She has adorable folded over ears, a kinked tail and a degenerative problem in her joints. All the cartilage in her body is abnormal. She is a little more aloof and independant, but loves to get her share of the attention - on HER terms. She is super picky about everything...food brand, litter brand, how the house is organized. If we change things it takes her a long time to get used to it and an even longer time to approve of it. Her favorite toy is a plastic cap from the top of water bottles. (Yes, she only likes one particular brand.) She squeaks at me (she has the cutest voice!) until I find one and throw it in the air so she can catch it. She will do this for hours but if it goes out of reach she looks at it and waits for you to get it. Which we always do. I TOLD you that they were spoiled.
I am off to watch Andy Richter Controls the Universe with my sweetie. Later, guys!
