08.May.2008 Both Kitties!

That’s right, we have two cats. I’ve already introduced Mr. Mario, now it’s time to talk about Screech. By the way, clicking on this image should bring you to a much larger image.

Screech, also called Screecher or sometimes Creature is our aloof kitty. She also stays out of trouble.

Mario goes gallivanting around the neighborhood while screecher never leaves the back yard. She did escape one time. My wife was going to take her for a walk and some dogs scared the kitty. My wife didn’t have a firm grip on the leash, and our kitty ran off. We did end up finding our scared Creature across the street, but only after walking around the block, with Mario following us around like a dog.

Creature has a crook in her tail. We joke that she has a prehensile tail. She is also funny about her water- she likes to drink as close to the source as possible. We have one of those upside down bottle waterers, and she will put her nose right up to the bottle to get the ‘freshest’ water. We bought her a little fountain because of this. She likes the fountain.

As I said before, she is aloof, but sometimes she will come up and sit on our laps and paw at us. Yay.
