kitty-cat meet and greet

Good morning everyone!

So today I thought I'd officially introduce two sweet little creatures whom I love love love.

My kitties, Bucky and Cocoa!

This is Bucky.  He is a big, snuggly, half-Siamese sweetheart who loves to be petted.  His favorite things include...

• playing with yarn, preferably while I'm knitting it
• sitting on newspaper or mail, preferably while my mom is reading it
• tummy rubs
• cuddling up in bed with either me or my mom and affectionately patting our faces
• purring

Some fun facts about Bucky!

• He almost never meows.  
• When he does meow, it's raspy and very quiet
• He's named Bucky because my grandfather thought his little white chin looked like teeth.
• Bucky doesn't like any human foods, except shrimp, which he loves.
• Bucky is enormous.  His head is about the size of a softball and he has the biggest paws I've ever seen.
• I'm pretty sure he secretly writes this blog and this twitter account.

And here's Cocoa!  He is full Siamese, and he's the baby of the kitty-family.  His favorite things are...

• meowing loudly and often
• grooming Bucky
• his catnip scratching thing
• sneaking up on Bucky and play-attacking him
• napping in sunny spots
• taking off at a sprint and running and leaping all over the house for no apparent reason

And some fun facts about Cocoa...

• Cocoa is tiny even though he's fully grown.  His paws are so little and adorable!
• Bucky is his protector.  If it thunders, or there's an unfamiliar person in the house, Cocoa can almost always be found hiding behind Bucky.
• Cocoa also loves shrimp, but he's more adept at picking them up than Bucky is.  I have to put Cocoa's on the other side of the house so that Bucky has time to eat his, or else Cocoa eats both of them.

So now you have a better picture of my kitties! 

Feel free to link to photos of your kitties in the comments-- our cats can be internet-friends.
I hope you had a lovely weekend!
