I have two cats, both neutered females. The grey-and-white fuzzy girl is named Tribble, after the creatures in a Star Trek episode called "The Trouble with Tribbles". She has a very sensitive nose and seems to learn about what is going on her world with concentrated sniffing. She usually moves slowly and thoughtfully, which drives me crazy in the winter when I'm holding the door open and waiting for her come in without letting all the heat out of the house. Tribble visits a man named Jim who lives down the block, and he is crazy about her.
Bingo is a year+ younger than Tribble, but has grown to be much larger. She is black with enormous round eyes. She has pointed, hairy ears and grows a big ruff in the winter. Some have said she looks like an owl. Bingo moves like a shot and is very demanding. She has learned to scratch the glass on the French doors with her claws in such a way that she makes a squeaking sound to let us know she wants "service now"... and I rush to provide it, so I have no one to blame but myself.
Both of them are shelter cats. Please consider getting a pet from a shelter when you are looking for a creature to add to your life. There are way too many abandoned animals.
