Meet the Cats

January 16, 2014      9 Comments

Remember my harrowing tale of trying to move with five cats? Ever wonder how crazy a person would have to be to get five cats in the first place? Well, this is how it happened. You see, I had two cats. Ryan had two cats. We got together. Boom, four cats.

Then one day we accidentally got a fifth cat. And then we accidentally named him Death Star. I realized pretty quickly that we have to stop answering the door when it’s little kids with kittens knocking. And that if I don’t speak clearly enough, Ryan will always assume I’m referencing Star Wars.

Hard lessons to learn, but I’m coping.

Anyway. Yeah. Five cats.

Two of the five cats don’t leave the basement. I don’t know if we’ve traumatized them with too much love or they’re pissed because we feed them Friskies instead of Fancy Feast or they’re still bitter that we ripped their chance at reproduction away from them. I don’t get it. But they’re reclusive.

The other three have no problem coming upstairs and spreading their fur far and wide across the house. Their perpetual gift to us.  I feel so loved.

The good thing about having five cats though? They’re generally lazy and will sit in place while I snap a few photos. I still get the “I’m-so-bored-is-it-time-to-lick-myself-again” looks from them, but I like to pretend they’re just acting pensive for the camera.

Would you like to meet my five cats? Here they are:

Domino

Black and white cat

 Norton

Yellow cat

Delylia

Black cat

Thevenin

Gray and white cat

Death Star

Black cat

So, what do you think? Should I let them stick around a while longer?

    I’m guessing Thevenin and Norton came together? Lol

    They are all so cute! I wish my roommate’s cat was more friendly. Then I’d get to enjoy having a cat around.

    Death Star. Bwahaha.

    Those five are lucky they’re as cute as they are otherwise they’d be out the door with their fur spreading, attitude giving, clawing ways.

    We have three cats…in a fricken two bedroom apartment along with two rats. The cats are named Melvin, Arlen and Pip and the rats are Cayenne and Cinnamon. Do they get along? Melvin and Arlen, being the two older felines, don’t give a crap. Pip is a young, still kitten-like at 1.5 years old a-hole who would beat up the rats or try to eat them if he could. Bastard.

    At least it’s an all cat household. There was a time when my family had three cats and a big dog. Fun, fun times.
