I know it has been forever since I made a post, but today I'm making a post. I was going to make Christmas posts, but never felt up to it. I hope you enjoy this post though. It has been a very long time coming.
When I first started this blog, I made a post about all the
pets that I own myself. I said that eventually I will make one about all the cats that my family has. I'm now taking the time to do just that. Down the road I will make a post about all the other pets my parents have.
The cats are not my animals, like the small animals are. They are the family's. Meaning my parents animals. Which we have 5 of them. They have all been adopted from the SPCA that is close to us.
The first cat we adopted was Dude. We adopted him because at the time we had a dog and a cat, but we had to put the dog down and our cat was lonely, so we got him a companion.
My dad named him Dude because when we first brought him home all he did was lounge around, so my dad named him after "The Dude" from The Big Lebowski. His nickname is Doodles though.
After our cat passed away, Dude became lonely because they had such a connection. We decided to adopt a companion for him and ended up with two more boys. They aren't brothers, but grew up in the same home together.
Their names are Angus (mostly
grey) and Malcom (half white and
grey). If any of you guys are AC/DC fans than you would understand their names. My mom is a huge fan of them and named these two after the brothers in the band.
As you can see, we love cats. But we didn't stop there. After having these three for a while, we all came to the conclusion that we wanted to add another cat to the family. It didn't work out like that though. What we ended up with was siblings. A boy and a girl.
Their names are Licorice (the boy, left side) and Jellybean (the girl, right side). Those are the names that they had at the shelter and we liked them due to them being black kitties. Jellybean has a white patch on her tummy and a little on her neck, but Licorice is fully black. My dad, brother and I wanted Licorice and my mom wanted Jellybean, so we got them both and since they were siblings, we couldn't split them up.
They all have such different personalities. Some more devilish than others, but we all love them dearly and bring such joy to us, even at times they annoy us to no end. But that is
cats for you. They have it in their minds that they own humans (lol). Here is a picture of all of them eating their dinner together for the first time. It's funny now because they all have their own spots where they eat like this. They still eat in this way, but in different spots and they go to those spots when I give them their breakfast and my brother gives them their dinner.
I hope you guys enjoyed being introduced to all of our kitties. Do any of you have cats? If so, how many do you have and what are their names?
