TWO BEST CATS IN THE WORLD I THINK Here is Blue The Siamese and Gypsy Rose The Albino

We had Spooky the cat for about 16 years and finally her health gave out. We sobbed as we knew we were letting her go.  We could not think of getting another cat for over a year. It hurt to bad.

Here is spooky, she is in the back of the van that is piled high with stuff as we moved from Houston back to Minnesota in August 2010.  She found what she thought was a safe place my wicker trash can.

Finally I started to get the feeling it was time to open up our heart to another cat. We talked about it for several weeks and finally one weekend stopped at the animal shelter to JUST LOOK at what they had for cats.

We looked at the dogs and which we could get one, but knew that with our life style of being gone so often it would not be fair to a dog. A cat fits best with our life style of spending time gone. We are out searching thrift stores, garage sales ( when it is not winter in Minnesota) and going to the auctions two nights a week.

So we wandered the rooms looking at the cats and reading their short biographies. Well if one cat is good, two would be great. They can be friends and keep each other company. Question was which cats of the many should we choose to take home.

We decided and told them we wanted two cats that others may not want. Those that were hard to adopt. But we wanted them to get along of course. I can dream I guess.

Blue is a 14 year old chubby Siamese female. Loveable, cuddly and purrs on command. She is crossed eyed and beautiful. Loves to sleep any where she wants, usually on my desk chair if I am not sitting in it. She loves to eat as you can see in her picture. Early in the morning she will jump up on the bed ( if Gypsy Rose has departed) and gets between hubby and me. She wants to be petted,  told how beautiful she is and how much she is loved. Blue does not get on the tables as of yet so no cute pictures of her there.

And this is our princess Gypsy Rose. She is a 10 year old albino female who is deaf.  We were told she was a spy, would hide and watch us but we would not know she was around. Wrong, she is out wandering alot. Sleeps by my feet or head every night. She does hide at times in the closets but we know where to find her if we want to. She sits where she wants to and I have to move all my pretty stuff together so there is room for her to lay on any table she chooses.

Sadly they really do not like each other. They do not cuddle or clean each other. They some times pass each other at a distance and at other times Gypsy looks at Blue and chases her to show her who rules the roost.

I hope that over time they will bond but I really have little hope for that.

They are wonderful additions to our family and are the best cats in the world I think. But of course I am sure you think the same about your pets. If you are looking for a pet please check out the Animal Shelter. A new friend could be waiting for you.
