Time to introduce the other girls on that banner up there.
You may adore her now.
This is Satori. She is a 10-year-old sable Burmese. Outwardly, a freaky little string cheese addict, but a total love bug at heart. She spooks like a little wuss yet easily maintains alpha cat status. If you catch her playing, she will immediately stop and deny it ever happened. She’ll gnaw your arm off to get at dinner, then further disarm you by rolling over and begging for belly rubs. Nicknames include: Tori, Tor-Tor, Satorio, Nancy Reagan.
The original keyboard cat
And this is Zen. She’s a five-year-old champagne Burmese and her personality is classic: part dog, part monkey, adventuress and supervisor of all household projects. Zen truly has no fear except for being looked at the wrong way by the six-pound Satori. She shares her every last thought and emotion with us, vocally or otherwise, and even has her own Twitter account at @zenthecat. Her favorite games are fetch (see below, with hairband), the Shoulder Leap, and WoW. Nicknames include: Zenzenzen, Zennifer, Zentastic, and Shut The Hell Up Already.
No on Prop 8!
Burmese have cute bred into them. We call ours the lesbian kitties.
(more little videos with the cats and the husband can be found here)
Hope you enjoyed the introduction. Upcoming posts will include a review of three iPhone apps I recommend for CFSers, and thoughts on chronic illness and pseudoscience. Please let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see here.
It distresses me to see cats looking so neglected. I can tell they’re putting on brave faces, but are deeply unhappy. Better send them over here.
Hope you’re serious because there are days when I’d take you up on it. The puke-on-the-bed incident comes to mind…
I can only imagine the cats continually refreshing the page “Where are the dang comments? We are cute and deserve them!”
Whereas normally they’d be sleeping in your office or mine, today they’ve chosen to hang out at the foot of the bed. I’m pretty sure when I get up they’re doing exactly that.
Oh my gosh, they’re adorable! I soooo want burmese or burmese cross tonkinese but awwwww *is jealous right now*
We almost got a couple of Tonkinese originally but the rescuer pulled a bait and switch on us, and then we fell in love with Burmese. They’re both wonderful breeds, so so loving. Kinda high-energy for us CFSers!
Yay! It’s the girls! You really manage to capture so much with Satori’s “I’m putting up with you so long as I get what I want” looks. That and I love the one where your husband is working with the cat on his shoulder. Every time I see it, all I can think is that she’s backseat driving him. “No, clearly that’s an eggshell blue. You need something more silver.”
I don’t think you’re far off; she’s pretty opinionated as supervisors go. Thanks for the comments on Satori’s pics! She’s not as easy to capture on film when she’s awake, being kinda squirrelly and all.
