two cats

since i have put up pictures of at least three cats that are not my own (and at least one dog), it is time that i showcase the two little darlings that share the apartment with us. one of my friends remarked, 'regan, you have not put up any pictures of your cats. that is strange. too strange.' am i a bad cat guardian for not showing them off right away? i certainly hope not. fortunately, i don't think they've noticed.

well, without further ado. i begin with... dracula...

what can i say about dracula? she's like a stuffed animal. furry, cuddly, childlike, and silly...

although her name is dracula, she is more like dracula's sidekick renfield in that, this spring, she has eaten at least three flies. but she is also more like lenny from 'of mice and men' because i don't think she intends to kill most of the bugs she kills. she befriends bugs but doesn't know how big she really is compared to them... because look how little she is!

a snuggleball of goodness

she is also like winnie the pooh in that she has a brain full of fluff.

hobbies: afternoon naps, bird-watching, and pruning the flowers on the balcony.

fears: monsters. monsters include the vaccuum cleaner and garbage trucks. however, she is also very brave. once on a trip, she and rabbit were hiding from a pet dog. however, rabbit sent dracula out to investigate. dracula lived up to the challenge, and did so with courage and diplomacy.

next up: a cat i have much respect for: rabbit. do not let this innocent little face deceive you.

these next two photos exemplify much of her personality...

she is at the top of cat tower, and, like the sticker beneath her says, she refuses to surrender her freedom. often, when we pick her up, she will hiss, scratch, and bite at us. she is a cat that knows what she wants and she's not afraid to send dracula in to get it.

when not sleeping 15 hours a day, she is constantly busy...

for example, most cats at the humane society are rather bored or downtrodden in their little cages. rabbit on the other hand did not dwell on her situation. when we first saw her, she was busy hanging curtains and investigating the composition of the crystals in her litter box. she is at once, scientist and entrepreneur. she is the leader and project manager of the work she and dracula undertake on a daily basis.

look at that look...

a no nonsense cat.
hobbies: fact-finding, bossing people around, snuggling, and talking to birds. fears: dogs, motorized toy cars.
oh, she might not want me to say this, but she has a boyfriend named sinatra who lives on the balcony above us.

well, there they are. of course they are much more dynamic than i have made them out to be, but to give you an idea of what they're like i had to emphasize their most stand-out characteristics.
