Bandit & Patches

When Maureen and I adopted these two rascals from the SPCA, in October of 1997, we were filling a void left by K.C., a wonderful gray tabby. K.C. was 19 years old when we put her down in June 1997. So, it had been over a decade since I had a kitten in the house. I had forgotten what creative nuisances kittens can be.

Patches (below) younger by two weeks remained the smaller cat for only two months. I didn't know she'd be a long hair cat, and lazy, and I'd never had a cat that avoids jumping. I'd never had a cat so cute, and she knows it too! Her little face and the way she tilts her head. She's a talker too.

Bandit. What can I say about Bandit which hasn't been said before about ummm, well, the Tasmanian Devil comes to mind! Active, fast, a jumper and stalker (poor Patches!!!) she is dedicated to all her endeavors. When she plays, sleeps or wants attention, she is very single minded.
