Cute! Did you get them at the same time?
My wife and I love our cats. At the end of the day, they are OUR masters, not the other way around.
Cuddles (the black cat) earns her name with every pound. Many people think cats are aloof, but not this one. We call her a feline lap dancer because the moment you sit down on a couch, she fumbles her way onto your lap. Years ago, when we had a house warming party, she went from lap to lap to lap like Goldylox looking for the right bed to sleep in.
Tuo-Te is a people cat too. He won't sit on your lap, but he is always in the room with you as a professional host. When I get up in the morning, my wife and cat are sitting side by side watching the news on the couch, and when you walk in a room, he tends to look at you in a way that almost says "Please - have a seat! How was your day?"
They get the best treatment in the house. Cuddles, as lovable as she is, doesn't bury! She is so %*$&^ lazy! She'll take a stinky dump, rub her paws on the litterbox walls (to wash her hands), and leaves her pile behind!
There's a funny story behind this. The first week they were together, Cuddles had moved into Tuo-Te's apartment (my apartment). She left her mark, and Tuo-Te gave us this horrified look of "Oh my God! She didn't bury! THAT PIG!!!"
The room started to stink, and it got so bad, TUO-TE went into the carrier and buried for her!
Well, Cuddles never learned her lesson, and we were the ones who were suffering, so we bought them an electric litter box that does the burying automatically.
It sounds crazy, I know!
Our cats get the best!
