Thelma is the white calico on the right, and Louise is the gray tabby on the left. We adopted them from a friend of ours who was moving to a new city and could not bring them along to his new apartment. He sent a message out to his friends to find a new home for his cats, and from the minute I saw their picture, I immediately loved them. By May 25, 2010, Thelma and Louise came to join us at our apartment in Fairfield for a few days until we moved into our house on the 29th.
It didn't take long for them to settle right in. Both cats are 15 years old and came from the same litter. Louise has a few health problems, but overall both cats are happy and full of mischief. They are amazed by the refrigerator:
And the kitchen table and the food that magically appears there:
And the cozy warm floor vents. This may be one of the reasons our heating bill is so high--Thelma blocks all the warm air from entering any of the rooms!
After long, busy days away from the house, we look forward to coming home to cuddle with our kitties. They seem to have powerful calming powers--no matter what has happened that day, petting our kitties always makes me feel a little better. Call it kitty therapy, but it works! We love our cats like members of our family and I couldn't imagine our lives without them.
awws they are soooooo cute you should show them more often in your blog
ReplyDeleteReally great pictures. They look so darling and mischevious. Our animals can be so comforting after working at difficult jobs. I am amazed at how great other people can take pictures of their animals. Mine always turn out blurry and caught at the moment of escape.
ReplyDeleteJane, I credit the clear pictures to our cats' old age. They don't move very fast to get a blur effect!
