Our Fur Babies

We have two cats with personalities bigger than they are, Gatinha and Sox.

I got Gatinha three years ago when she was just a little kitten and she's been spoiled ever since then. When I first got her, she could fit in the palm of my hands, now she pretty much needs her own cushion on the couch! When I first brought her over to stay with Austin, I was worried that he wouldn't like her, they wouldn't get along, or maybe he would just be too allergic to her. Luckily, Austin fell in love with her almost as much as he fell for me! She likes to eat, sleep and recently has taken to playing with Sox.

Sox is our newest addition to our family. Austin had known that I would like another kitty for Gatinha to play with since we had both been working 40+ hours a week and we didn't feel like she was getting enough attention. He had done all of the work and found her off of Craigslist and decided that she would make a nice addition to our family! On Super Bowl Sunday, Austin took me out to pick her up from a family that could no longer keep her. At first, Gatinha and Sox couldn't even be in the same room together, our Gatinha thought she was getting replaced. Sox enjoys running around, chasing Gatinha, and hiding things under our area rug in the living room.

We're pleased to say that after a couple months, Sox got over being afraid of Gatinha and tried to play. Gatinha was NOT going to have anything to do with this little kitty. Only recently has Gatinha started playing with Sox, and it is the cutest thing in the world! They both like to sit in our new swivel chair, but never at the same time. We'll be sure to keep everyone updated with how they're doing!


We are also cat sitting for a close friend, Dan. He is a two month old orange tabby. We've taken to calling him Ringo.
