My Pets

I thought it would be nice to add some pics of my pets, since I haven't decided if I am going to post my kids, which I probably will at some point and time. This is Rosey. She is about 3 years old and we got her as a kitten from a friend of Boo's. She is the meanest cat you might ever meet. She looks so innocent sitting there. Which is true since no one is touching her. But wait, try and see if you will have any fingers left if you try and pet her.
This is Rosey's favorite thing to do. Lay wherever she feels like it. It doesn't matter what the surface is, it could be a hard floor, carpet, bag, shoe or one of Cor's shirts. It just doesn't matter.
This is Rosey and Georgia. Georgia is THE cat. We have had her since we moved into the house over 7 years ago. We are not sure how old she was when we got her because she came from a farm. That farm had about 20 cats and when we got her, we actually thought she was just very young cat. But she never grew. We think that the overpopulation of the cats at the farm caused the mothers to give birth too often, resulting in smaller babies. We love to have Georgia lay with us except when she sneezes, which is often. Unfortunately, when she sneezes, her whole body shakes and she has been known to slide across the laminate floor if she happens to be sitting there when she has one of her fits.
Have you ever seen a more comfortable cat? Neither Cor nor I can lay on the couch without having her for company. If we are each on a couch, she will jump between us because she can't decide who has a better lap to lay in.

As you can tell, we are a family of cat people. We did have a dog but we were unable to keep him due to the fact that we both work and it was very hard on him.
So we will remain a cat house. Shorty has always wanted a turtle or a hamster but I have tried to explain to him what would happen if we had those kind of pets if they came into our house. That they would end up like the salamander we tried to have last year.

Shorty found a salamander last year at the farm. He brought it home and we put it in a platic cage that was meant to hold bugs. It was quite a strudy cage though. Well, we left that poor salamander alone over night in the living room and when we got up,the cage was knocked off the table and there was nothing left. Both cats looked very innocent and to this day Shorty refuses to believe that the cats would have had a midnight snack.

So these are our two pets. Stay tuned for the next installment of our two legged pets, aka our children :)
