The Pets

I realized today that I have not had one post about my "kids". This is a travesty. The world really needs to see the cuteness that is our animal children.

I adopted our first kid a couple of years before I met The Husband. He has moved with me multiple times and we have been through a lot together. He is the best cat in the whole world. He loves cat nip, escaping to the outdoors and watching us chase him, his scratching post, ranch dressing and his spot next to me on the bed. He is also very contemplative, taking minutes to decide exactly where and how to lie down or to decide what he wants to do next. It gets pretty humorous ;) This is Mason:

Next came Roarke. When The Husband and I first moved in together Mason came with me (of course), but we were worried about him being alone all day. So one day we were in PetSmart and there was this adorable little black kitten up for adoption. We had to fight another couple for him, but we won :) Roarke is a talker who is a total Daddy's boy. He loves to be held, to lick you, his treats and food in general, playing with his feather toy and cuddling and play fighting withe the other cats. He also has the attention span of a gnat. This is Roarke:

Last but certainly not least is our newest addition, Charlie. One of The Husband's colleagues found him skinny, dirty and matted outside near her house, but she couldn't keep him. We decided that if he got along with our other cats we would take him. The first couple days were a little rough, but now he is best buds with the other cats. Charlie like to play with all the toys we have, to kneed for long periods of time on your stomach and too talk up a storm. He also has the oddest facial expressions which tend to send us into laughing fits. This is Charlie:

All of our cats are very friendly and love people. There is no hiding under the bed and being shy in our house! They also all greet us at the door every night when we get home from work. Aren't animals the best? We really do believe that we have the best cats in the world. Don't even try and argue with us.

We think they still love us too.
