My Babies

With my pending trip to Germany I needed to find someone reliable to take care of my two cats. I stumbled upon Bloomington Pet Pals, a great service that will not only come in and feed the cats but will actually stay and play with them or pet them for 30 minutes a day. What a great service!

It got me thinking about my cats. They really are my babies. They are a big part of my home life, and it will be hard to be away from them for 10 days. I then realized that I had never really talked about them here, so I thought now would be the time to show a couple of pictures of them. (Sorry the pictures are so poor. A photographer I definitely am not.)

Here's Eve. We've had her for about 8 years. She was a stray in our neighborhood that we noticed one day. At the time we weren't sure if she was a stray or just an outdoor cat. It became apparent after a few weeks that she was a stray, who we then took in and made her our own. We now think she's hard of hearing. She doesn't acknowledge any noises around her, and doesn't even wake up when a large noise is made around her while she is sleeping.

This is Ripley. He's barely 2 years old. He was a pound pet who I adopted when he was nearly 2 months old. He's still a handful and likes to tease Eve. He's often causing havoc, but it just too cute. He's very playful and is still very much a kitten in nearly every way.

These two are some of the greatest pets anyone could have.
