This is Amanda. About 8 months old. And that was more or less 9 years ago.
Amanda was very timid because she was a wild cat when she was caught. But she also was very friendly, extremely playful and loved climbing to the drying rack and tearing all the clothes down from it. (The shirt drying on the rack says: "This your folt" And so it is. Not Amandas fault but always the humans fault.) She really liked the clothes rack. Especially socks. She dragged those somewhere and cried with loooooong meows how good she has been and she should now be thanked and fed properly. And so I did.
Balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls, balls!!! Super, super, super, super balls!!!
And then Amanda grew up. She became a giant. That sticks her nose everywhere. Wants to be a vegetarian, but is a fisheterian. Meaning she really, really, really likes fish. And cream.
Better take those photos before somebody eats the flowers that are photographed!
This is Jörö (Grumpy). I don't have pictures of him when he was little because of three things. He was two years old when he came to us, the first two months he basically spent all his time under our bed or hidden somewhere at daytime and thirdly because he still is sooooooo little. He's a pocket size cat compared to Amanda. :)
Jörö was also a wildcat when he was caught. And after almost 2 years being here, he still is really shy. He loves scratches, playing all the time and super balls. But when visitors come here, he runs away. Same if someone digs the vacuum cleaner. Jörö is very afraid of it. Not like Amanda. She's a cool cat around the vacuum cleaner.
Sometimes I have a weird feeling that my cats want something from me... Or is that a cat? Let me look at it a little bit closer. Yes. I think it's a cat. Or a lynx. And the other one, the pocket size cat, is about to delete everything.
You know the theory how you can catch a cat? Just put a cardboard box somewhere and soon you have a cat in it. Actually, you can forget the box part, cardboard is enough. Or an A4 paper. Any size actually! Put a shirt or any fabric on the floor and there it is. A cat. Actually, you can make some sort of a circle or square or something that your brain can produce and hands can handle, with a tape on the floor and magically a cat appears there.
I have a new theory. After Jörö came here, there's no need for a cardboard, paper or any kind of fabric on the floor. No fooling around with the tape.
Just stick your finger out and there you have it. A cat. And a second one.
