Our Girls

So these are our girls:



Up until a year ago we were steadfast "dog people". Cats were never considered, as Bruce and I had this idea that they were aloof and somewhat unfriendly. And then Bruce found Vixen (the black one). She was only a few weeks old, starving and abandoned. Somehow she fit right in to the family and we all fell in love. So we adopted Omen (the tabby) so Vixen could have a playmate. Both kitties are around a year old, and thankfully they seem to like each other.

Today, we bought the kitties this:



It was an instant hit. They spent quite a bit of time exploring this new piece of cat furniture:



Of course, there had to be a game of let's try to kill each other:



And we finally moved it into a corner, because we sensed our ceiling fan was in imminent danger:



And right now, both kitties are curled up on their new toy sound asleep because they totally wore themselves out. But they have known pure unadulterated joy today. And that made it all worth it. Not just the expense, but the whole scary trip to PetSmart in our decrepit 26 year old Dodge Ram truck. Only for those cats would I risk a trip into town in that truck. At least Bruce drove it....LOL.
