During the first two visits I made to
foreverknight's and
iverness63's house, I fell in love with all their cats. Usually when I visit friends, I make it a habit to also introduce myself and spend time with all their animals. I've even been accused of spending more time with the animals than my friends! But Rebekah and Josh seemed to really appreciate it. I don't even consider other peoples' animals to be "pets" -- to me they are just another part of everyone's family. It's good to acknowledge and talk to the animals. A house, especially, is not complete without a cat in it, if you ask me!
This is Oscar. He loves Josh the best. He's this HUGE tom cat with a deep voice. He doesn't like to be picked up often, but whenever he's in the room, I so wanted to cuddle with him. There's something so wonderful about big, manly cats like Oscar.
See how Josh is Oscar's favorite? They even kinda look alike here.
Oscar wasn't too proud to finally show me that he likes to suck his paw. Check it out! What a wonderful character he is. Josh looks all mommy-daddy to Oscar.
RuRu is a big white pillow of a cat. He kept me company a lot in the livingroom while I slept on the futon. When I laid on the floor, he would come up and try to "clean" me as if I were another cat! Here I manipulated the photo I took of him to make him very fluffy-ghostly. I'm still finding "fluffs" of his fur in the clothes I wore when I visited last.
Here's another picture of RuRu I took on my first visit.
And another! The flash of the camera makes him look ghostly again. Can you just imagine him about to say something? He has that kind of look. I didn't mean to also capture the house's game consoles and collection, but I didn't edit it out because there's this little orb peeking out. How interesting...
Azrael is checking out my coat here. He most likely smells Mr. Snuggles on it. Plus he was also just checking me out in general when I first stepped in the house.
I regret not taking a picture of Dudley or Tigger or G-G, so the above is just of Dudley and Azrael waiting for someone to let them out of the livingroom. You see, Oscar is the one kitty in Rebekah's house who likes to spray. It's a many cat thing to do, marking territory, and he can't help it so he's locked out of the livingroom. The other kitties can come and go, but they have to wait for someone to let them out and in. Here Dudley and Azrael seem to be in jail. "Have ya hear from the Gov'r, love?"
Here's the wonderful Leif chilling out with Azrael on his lap. Leif is a kitty lover, too, so we got on well when it came to communing with the felines of the house. I remember when Rebekah first posted pix of Azrael when he was a kitten. He's so much bigger now! Look at him taking up Leif's lap. What a little black angel!
On my next visit I'll have to make it a project to capture more of the kitties on my camera. I kinda consider them Mr. Snuggles' cousins because Rebekah and Josh are like my family, too. So I can't forget the kitties! It's all about the kitties, folks. They make the world a better place.
