OMG, I love all of your furry buddies! In general, I like most animals better than I like most people. I've always had pets, currently two cats. Sweet Mimi, found in a parking lot. We don't know exactly how old she is, but at least 14, and recently diagnosed with hyperthyroid, heart murmur, not many teeth left, but doing well on her new medication. She is the sweetest cat I've ever owned. I'm not sure that I believe in reincarnation, but sometimes she stares into my eyes.....really stares hard, and I've found myself asking, "Who are you?" She gives me the feeling that I've known her before.
Then there's Chubasco, Basco for short. I adopted him from the Humane Society because I didn't want Mimi to be lonely when I went to work. Ha! They can't stand each other. After 10 plus years, and they still drive each other crazy. Oh well. Basco has a lot of issues. He's had food issues ever since I got him at 6 months. He's also weird in a lot of other ways. He's terrified of everyone but me and my best friend. Most of my friends have never seen him because he hides until they leave. But with me, he is sweet, affectionate and cuddly. For years, I didn't think could purr, until one day, I had my finger on his throat while he was on my lap, and I felt it....a silent purr!
So here they are, Mimi looking soulful, and Basco, trying to look fierce, not easy to do when you have a pink nose in the middle of your face.
