Our two kitties, Coco and Kiwi, turned one! They celebrated with some canned wet food. It also marks a year since they lived with us as foster kittens. The kids really enjoy the cats and they have been a nice addition to our family.
Kiwi
Girl. Orange and soft. Hobbies: watching birds and dreaming of catching them, exploring outside on her leash, sitting in the little window above my bed (she does this every morning and every night)
Coco (Coconut)
Boy. White and course fur. Hobbies: sitting in boxes and bags, eating food he shouldn't especially chips and snacks (he eats through the bag to get to food), sleeping on the floor, eating Kiwi's food (they have some unspoken rule that he's allowed to eat her food if he wants so we put a wall up between their bowls), sitting outside in the grass on his leash.
The cats wrestling and chasing each other but they never tattletale on eachother (unlike the kids), which I appreciate. They both have a bad habit of climbing on the counter to find food scraps and we're trying to figure out how to stop them. They are VERY tolerant of kids and get held, carried, "cuddled", etc and don't ever bite or scratch. Since we've had them since they were born, they were acclimated to noise and being held so they really don't get freaked out by much at all. They are very curious and have to be involved in any new activity. If something in the house is slightly different they're all over it. They love chasing birds through the windows or the occasional fly in the house. There have been mouse problems over the last year in our neighborhood but the cats will definitely be keeping mice out of our house. Neither seek out cuddling people or being pet but I suspect they are generally tired of being touched. They've been fun pets and easy since we can leave them during the day or for long weekend and they are fine on their own together.
