Connor and Princess were born in 1997
on St. Patty's Day weekend. Mom's
friend, Barbara, lives in South Philly.
She had a stray living in her backyard
who had litters after litters. That stray is their mother and still lives with Barb but is now fixed :)
When the timing was right and a new
litter was born, we went to check out
the last 2 she had left. We didn't plan
to come home with them that day but we
couldn't resist. They were so tiny and
cute. So we had the doctors check em
out. So
far they are healthy as can be.
Although, Connor is a little pudgy and
Princess is petite.
They didn't adjust well to me moving
back to college just 3 short months
after we got them. Princess was my
little girl until I moved out. I think
she feels I abandoned her. They are
starting to warm up to me again but I
still can't approach them unless they
want me to. Hopefully over time they
will jump on my lap and cuddle up on the
couch with me. At least I hope so!?
Connor reminds me of Garfield the cat.
He eats and sleeps. He also carries
around a stuffed elephant like
pookie. Princess is a real you know what. She
doesn't let anyone near her unless she
wants you to. Her favorite toys are
rubber soccer balls, esp yellow
ones.
I went way to long without an update. I can't believe they are 6 years old now. Connor was never pudgy. We found that out after we got Lucky and then Cello. Neither Princess nor Connor liked the new visitors as they moved in but over time they grew to love each other.
Connor didn't like Spunky when he was born, now it is the opposite way around. Princess loves to chase Cello around the house. I think Spunky has a crush on Princess. Connor enjoyed his short lived "special" moments with Molly prior to her being fixed.
Buddy is warming up to everyone but mostly to Princess.
Peanut was very close to Nana and while Nana was home sick she stayed away. One night just before Nana's passing, Nana called out to Princess. Princess came down a few stairs to look down at Nana. I know she misses Nana alot since she sleeps on Nana's bed everyday. Princess used to sit with Nana as she watched her soaps. Connor used to but as he grew it became hard to share the chair with Nana. Not that he was fat, Nana just liked her space.
Both kitties ...I mean cats are healthy and doing well. They still hide from me. But I noticed in the past year Princess will allow me to visit her without running.
