CATS AND THEIR CRAZY ANTICS

Cats, they can be the most cuddliest, lovable, adorable things one minute, and crazy, lunatic, creatures on four legs the next. I have three cats, 1 female, 2 males. The female cat has an issue with any form of male be it human or critter, she hisses and snarls whenever they came within a metre of her personal space. she even has her own chair. Luckily I'm a female so she lets me cuddle her.
The older male cat is placid, he sleeps and cuddles up to you all day, but he is a big fur dropper, no sooner have I vacuumed theres cat fur everywhere. But I would much rather cat fur any day to the icky mess he leaves in the hallway or on the backdoor step. Mice, rats, rabbits, birds and the odd duckling or two, are just some of the wonderful things he likes to bring home from his hunting trips. I wouldn't mind so much if he left them in one piece, but he has a habit of dismembering their heads from their body's and then separating their insides into nice little bite size pieces that he kindly leaves for you to find.
The last of our three cats is a 16 week old male kitten, he is the nuttiest one of them all. He loves to run around the house at full speed and watch out if you're in the way because he won't go around you, he'll go over or up or through you but never around you. He's into everything, when I'm trying to change the ink in the printer he climbs inside it, when I'm loading the dishwasher he climbs in there, when I'm cooking dinner he jumps up on the bench and runs across the ceramic hob then back down before I can get to him. Oh, and watch out if you're wearing a long skirt he loves to hang from them. His favourite pastime is chasing flies, it cracks me up when he hangs from the window ledge with the fly sitting a centimeter away from him and he can't get it without letting go. And boy does he have the loudest purr I have ever heard.

This is Cindy. Yes her ears are turned up at the tips, they have been like that for three years now. I think it's from the sun.


This is the chair she has claimed as her own. Junior is still learning the hard way to leave her alone, she swipes at him when he comes up to her.


This is Junior. I'm amazed he sat still long enough for me to take these photos.




Aren't they cute.


This is Chevy the older male. Don't you just love his tail, it's so bushy.






Chevy likes to sit on the rock and drink out of the fish pond. Don't worry all fish are accounted for. They don't seem to mind him they swim right up to his tongue.
