Tale of the Crazy Cat Lady

As some of you may know, I lost my beloved cat Rocky about three weeks ago. He had been with me the last 15 years through thick and thin and I considered him like another child. People who don't have pets don't understand this mentality, but when an animal is with you that long (he outlasted BOTH of my husbands), they become part of the family. Anyway, dear Rocky was a cat unlike any other. My favorite thing about him was he loved to snuggle and would fall asleep in my arms while I watched TV or a movie. He could never get enough loves. I am like that too. He and I were two peas in a pod. He had to be put down after he became ill with kidney failure. My heart was broken and I cried, and cried, and cried...I couldn't stand how empty the house was. I kept seeing him everywhere. I kept thinking I heard him meowing. I needed to fill the void his death had left in my life. AND SO....

I decided to adopt a kitten. I went on KSL, called a few numbers and ended up at a house looking at two brother kittens. The last two left from the litter. One black, a little larger than the smaller brown striped runt. The house had about 12 kids under five carrying the kittens around by their heads and pulling them out from under the chairs by their tails. Someone had to do something....but not me! TWO new kittens is just not realistic. TWO new kittens is WAY too impulsive. TWO new kittens would be just TOO much! SIGH....

I just had to rescue both the babies...Introducing....Tobey and Mowie-the TWO new kitten children of me, the Crazy Cat Lady. They are so cute and so much fun and so cuddly and have helped me mourn my darling Rocky in a much healthier way than I would have otherwise. Despite the fact that they are clawing their way through the complete and total destruction of my entire house...I just love them!
