Cats

My little love is called Little Miss Emmaline Pankhurst Kasmieh a big name for the little 2.2 pound kitten who came into my life. I named her after a famous suffragist (http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WpankhurstE.htm ) who worked in the anti-slavery movement and was an overall activist who wanted only good for her fellow humans. Emmaline came into my life through a friend who had fostered her after being found in a dumpster with her fellow littermates.  She looks like a Maine coon and weighs in at a very lean 14 lbs.  She was a tiny kitten and could fit into half a Kleenex box and is now the length of two from nose to base of tail.  She is very independent and lets me know that she is in charge at all times.  She also loves to drink water from the sink and will sit there until I turn the tap on for her.  She loves to cuddle with me at night and will sit on my chest purring loudly.  She used to have a ground squirrel as a friend (he lived under our deck) she would catch him and carry him by the bum to the door and show me what a great huntress she is and I would tell her to let him go, which she always did.  This would go on all summer and lasted for three summers till one day he was no longer in our yard.  She is my little fur daughter and brings great joy into my life.

Oh the Socks thing...its driving me crazy, I haven't had a matched pair in 8 years. 

Chabat, also loves anything black....suitcases, purses, laundry.  If its black...its her bed. 

Kamoko, she likes to find places that she can hide but yet see everything.  Its like playing Where's Waldo on a daily basis.

And as for toys, I have found two things they love more than anything.  The ring off of the Milk Jug and foil balls.  I gave up buying toys along time ago.  Oh, and Ben Gay...its like catnip...had a strained shoulder after a particularly nasty volleyball game and spent the next two days removing Chabat from my shoulder. 

I think my next cat is going to be named Quettah.  (And yes, I know it means Cat in arabic)

Animals are cool. They exist on different levels then we do. I also love elephants. They are quite sepctacular as well.

I have two cats. Recently I had to put one to sleep due to kidney failure and adopted another one from the Humane Society. So we are in a period of adjustment. They love the cat dancer toy. I brought to visit a friend and her cats were afraid of it. 

Somehow they just know not to walk on the prayer mat
