Pussy Love, Part two X 2

I have a clear plastic box that is originally a panel from an electric litter box. For some reason Jake took to it on top of the window ledge between my kitchen and living room. I don't almost step on him there. I don't pass food through there. And, he can see the whole apartment from this perch. It's what cats love, height and low traffic. If he is happy and quiet, I too am happy and quiet.

Jake tends to be loud and impatient. But who wouldn't be. His Buddy and our soul mate cat, Buster, passed away 1 1/2 years ago. They were best friends. They slept together, played together and even groomed each other. The makeup of his territory has changed drastically.

No more are quiet days of napping in the sun. Now he's likely to get jumped upon, any time, any place. I feel for him, I really do, but my hands are tied. I adopt pets for life, and he doesn't like the new setup. I love his "sisters" as much as I love him. So he needs to get used to it and find places that are safe for him, like the one pictured here.

Nap on my darling Jake...

Pussy Love, part two again

This little princess is a very shy kitty. She is small and afraid of large things, which from her point of view is almost everything. I will always protect and love her. I know if I hadn't been there, she would have been feral. And I don't think she would have lived very long.

She is affectionate when relaxed, yet she still doesn't trust me completely. And I have been with her since day one! I'm glad she is flourishing with me none the less. I am patient and I know in a few years she'll be all over me, and I'll wish she were less affectionate. On second thought -- no, I won't. She is perfect as she is...

Pussy Love, Part two

I love how photogenic Willa is. Her eyes are a turquoise color that shows up in photos. She's always striking silly poses, like when she does a half somersault, and just stays there with her ass in the air and her back paws around her ears. That one is probably in the Kama Sutra. She just does it because she is the silliest cat I have ever lived with.

She is also teaching herself to scoot along the wall, as if she is climbing horizontally, (the baseboards are carpeted). I really need to do a photo album called Silly Willa. So here's to another shot...
