Gotchaversary

Happy 6th Gotchaversary, Manny and Chili Bruce!

❤️❤️

Chili Bruce, being weird.

Manny, being weird.

Da Boyz, being adorable.

Their adoption story:

We'd lost Chuck on 20 November, 2017.

His twin sister, Angel, seemed happy to be an only cat, yet The Hubby and I knew we'd adopt another cat someday, in a while.

While buying cat supplies on my lunch break just a few weeks later, two of the most adorable housepanthers were playing in the adoption enclosure at my favorite pet store.

The store employee invited me to join them, then I called The Hubby.

He gave a thumbs up, I signed the papers, and handed over my credit card.

Two housepanthers for the price of one.

And, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, for all of us.

Manny and Chili Bruce are such a delight, even when being weird, curious, obnoxious, or being little purry angels!

Love you both so very much, and wishing you both a very Happy Gotchversary...and many more!

❤️❤️

Da Boyz's First Gotchaversary!

Can you believe it?!?  Our sweet boyfriends have lived at Eastside Cats for a whole year now!

Manny is adventurous, destructive, and playful.  He likes to jump in a cardboard box, so I can then carry him around the house.  Every toy, every table, every piece of paper...is his!  He's chewed the rock salt bag near the front door.  Manny loves the Neko Flies toy, which we must hide when not in use, or he'll chew the string.

Chili Bruce is a champion squirrel and bird watcher, and trills a wee squeaky meow when he's wants something.  He wolfs down his food, and pushes Manny off of his bowl if we aren't vigilant.  CB is our head-bunter, and will purr when you pet his belly when he's sleeping!  His favorite toy is the Cat Charmer ribbon, made from a long, thin piece of fleece fabric.  It must be hidden when not in play, because he's already bitten through half of the length!

The Hubby and I mention daily that Da Boyz are delightful, with silky fur, and crazy attitudes that keep smiles on our faces.  The two of them snoozing together generate 'awws' from us often!

Am pretty sure it's CB on the left, Manny right...maybe...

How we tell them apart:
Manny has a bigger head, skinny body, and a large white patch of fur at his bikini line.
Chili has a smaller head, and a pear-shaped body, and circles of missing fur on his back legs.
Or, we say, "Hiya, handsome!" and "I loves me a housepanther!" until we can figure out which one is which...

Happy #1 Gotchaversary, Chills and Mans!

We love you two to pieces!

Uh-Oh!

Two 10-month old housepanthers, up for adoption...

...and enjoying their first meal at Eastside Cats!

Um...I went out on my lunch break to the pet store, on Friday, December 1,  to score another sample of 'Ultra Oil' for pet health.  Used to try to tempt Chuck to eat, I then discovered how much it helps The PO'M's scratchies, and I needed more.

'Batman' and 'Bruce Wayne', brother housepanthers, were playing with the store employee, who invited me into the adoption enclosure to get closer.  Within an hour, I'd called The Hubby, completed the application, and paid the fee.  A case of their food, two boxes full of boy cats, and home I drove!  SURPRISE!!!

Now, for awhile, I actually have *THREE* cat families: The 'O' Cats, Angel, and The Boys in the parlor.  They've explored the rest of the house a little bit; Angel is less than thrilled with this turn of events.  However, The Hubby and I are over the moon in love with the brothers, who apparently were left behind when renters vacated.  They'd been at the pet store for three weeks; the store employees LURV'd them, but no takers until moi.

Needless to say, posting is going to be a bit erratic while we settle into a new routine.  And so far we've been calling them Manny and Bruce.  And I didn't get my free Ultra Oil sample in all the excitement!

***The only way to tell them apart is Bruce's one white whisker.***
