blog: Everyday is Caturday
(Do you have a pet or more? Write about it and post a link in the comments! I love hearing about other peoples pets.)
It’s Sunday, but today I am going to write a bit about my two cats because everyone loves cats, and they are oh-so adorable.
I have two cats. They are named Dapper and Blinky. They love to sleep.

The sofa is their favourite place to sleep, not counting my bed which I no longer am allowed to put them on because Miranda sneezes lots and lots and that’s just no good! Dapper and Blinky will spend most of their day sleeping and decide it’s best to be wide awake during 5-7 when I am trying to make dinner and 12am-7am when I am trying to sleep and get ready for the day.

Dapper and Blinky are best buds. They are brothers afterall! Born on the same day they’ve known each other for quite some time (About 8 months as of this writing!)
Owning cats is not for everyone, because just like most animals, every cat has its own personality and sometimes that may just be a bit too much!

Dapper. He is the special one of the family. When we first picked him up in his younger months (Well, weeks!) he was much slower, and cross eyed but very adorable and fluffy for his young age.
Dapper has grown over the past few months to be faster, more playful and less cross-eyed. He used to have a hard time jumping down things and would usually kind of splat on the floor but that is no more! He even beats Blinky sometimes to the laser pointer.
Dapper loves going into the bathroom sink every morning after my shower when it has warmed up and generated some moisture from the shower. He enjoys relaxing by the balcony side and watching the out doors for hours on end and loves letting me know when he wants his belly rubbed by rolling over and awaiting my action.
We have been told by our vet that Dapper will grow to be even more fluffy and large and I cannot wait to see him grow up into a cuter furball.

Blinky. What can I say about my favourite cat? Blinky is agile, a spaz, and a suck all in one. He is part-Siamese and shows it pretty well.
When we received Blinky, he was tiny and very skinny. We thought possibly he would be the runt of the litter. In a few weeks time he grew very fast and we learned that was definitely not the case! With growth, Blinky showed off his agility and speed; The laser pointer and any toys have nothing on Blinky as he chases them at lightning speeds and jumps really, really high to try and catch them.
Blinky has recently taken up climbing and can jump up and slowly crawl up brick walls, screen meshes, and … I definitely need to buy him a huge ten foot scratching pole.
Apart from being one of the most agile cats I’ve ever witnessed, Blinky is simply a suck. At night, he will meow at my bedroom wanting me to play with him some more and in the mornings he’s ready and waiting sharp at 7:05am for me to get out. If I don’t get out by then, I hear the meows come as I tussle around in my bed. Blinky enjoys rubbing his face over everything and loves going inside pretty much anything (Hampers, Pants, Bags) in an attempt to rub his face and entire body in them.
I love my cats, and I couldn’t ask for two more interesting and unique guys to be part of my humble household. Their personalities grow with you and it’s amazing to see how cats, and any pet will grow up and change and end up having very specific habits that we normally could not imagine such simpler creatures to have.
