Our Cats

I thought I'd do a little post about our two charming-but-very-stupid cats, I'll call them Big One and Little One.  Big One is my husband's cat since before I was even on the radar.  He is enormous, plus he is slightly overweight, which definitely exaggerates his already-large self.  We believe he's mostly a Maine Coon cat, or possibly a Norwegian Forest cat.  Personally, I like the romance of the Norwegian Forest imagery, so I'm going to go with that.  Little One is my cat, and we got him when my husband and I first moved in together.  He's a very cute little short haired black cat with a few white patches on his belly.

Here are some photos, starting with the glamour shots:

...and then some of their less glamorous moments:

To be fair, my husband set him up for this by filling Little One's house with catnip.  Big One could not resist.  In his defense, the camera really does seem to have added 10 pounds here.  Especially when you compare the cat with that tiny little house, which is just barely big enough for Little One.

Little One, right after we got him.  He is in love with all things he can climb into.

This was Big One's super-stealth hiding spot for some time, back when we had these horrible old hampers.  Totally convinced that no one could see him in there, he would occasionally do a vertical leap out of the hamper and pounce on whatever pair of legs happened to be passing.

An action shot.  Little One goes for the party ribbon, which he promptly threw up all. over. the. apartment.

Investigating the cooler bag

Don't tell me this thing wasn't designed as a bed for me.

This is a frequent sight in the winter - furniture coated with Big One's hair, with Little One in a tiny little ball.

I can doez my cute facez now.

Aaaand I just became the crazy cat lady.

I may or may not have time to post anything this weekend, as we have family coming to visit this weekend!  It'll be very exciting, and I'm sure I'll have plenty to post next week!
