msconductIt occurs to me that I've been on the Internet for fifteen years and I've never once posted a picture of a cat. Surely some mistake. Here, therefore, are the baby photos of one furry sweetie and two hellions.
I was supposed to be fostering these three for the SPCA, but because I am a terrible foster mother I committed the cardinal fostering sin and fell in love with them. That's why they're so tiny in these photos: I've had them since they were five weeks old. (Which was awesome.)
I was adamant that when I got new cats, they would be black. No pink-nosed cats, because of the risk of skin cancer. And definitely no more torties! Far too mischievous. Then the SPCA handed me a pink-nosed tabby, a tortie, and a tortie/Abyssinian cross. Oh well.
Name: Poppy
Alias: Hellbeast
Speciality: Mayhem
Looks like butter wouldn't melt, doesn't it? Yeah, right. This little troublemaker is the ringleader. No curtain, string or wire is safe. Bit clean through the wire to a phone charger.
Name: Isis
Alias: The Egyptian Ninja
Speciality: Leaping vertically in the air, kicking off the wall and plunging down onto an unsuspecting sister.
Awww! Doesn't she look harmless? Hahahaha. There's a reason they call them "naughty torties".
Name: Sapphire
Alias: Saffy
Speciality: Being sweet and adorable.
Although Saffy, not being a tortie, isn't Machiavellian like her sisters, she is, alas, easily led. Also, someone keeps bringing worms into the house. That couldn't be Saffy, though. Could it?
Since they've been together from such a young age, they decided that as they didn't have their littermates anymore, they were going to be BFF. And, six months later, they still are.

Date: 2009-12-13 08:45 pm (UTC)Yes, I think the blacks and black and whites have it in terms of IQ. Tara, my black cat who died earlier this year, was the only cat I've ever seen who regally extended her back paw to hold up the cat door and whisked her tail through to stop the door falling on it. True, my Abyssian cross kitten is smart, too, but that's more diabolical cunning.
