The Terrorist Twins

The Terroist Twins are just that and more. They really are not terroists, they are two kitties we adopted from our vet clinic at three weeks of age. Momma kitty was getting spayed by her owner, she was a wild cat they had a hard time catching. These two kittehs were raised on Goat Milk! We provided them a stuffed lion that they cuddled with for the longest time.

These two calico kittens add so much life to our home. The one in front is Sonja and her sister is Selene. They have different temperments but remember they are KITTEHS!

 Selene, she is full of Calitude! She is a wild March hair, full of silly kittehness and believe it or not her nickname is Suckleluffagus. She is the first one into trouble and the last one to go to bed. She finds great joy pushing boxes around the dining room! Her orneriness is coupled by her loves. She purrs just as hard as she plays and has a keen sense of when Linds needs a friend...usually when Linds is writing in her story. Selene finds it comforting to delay Linds by batting her pencil away or laying on her paper. She also thinks Lindsey's armpit is a place of solace!

It is entertaining to watch them watch us play the Wii. If they could just catch that moving thing on the screen! Not knowing that it isn't something they can catch Selene has repeatedly swatted at the screen with nothing to show for it. Sonja on the other hand is the smarter of the two and just watches.

Speaking of Sonja...such a dear sweet kitteh...is a cuddle bug. She will lay across anyones lap while they are at the computer, watching movies, or will lay across my legs at night in her comfy spot. When Selene is pushing boxes Sonja is usually inside them batting out of the hole at her sister. She is a favorite of the dear hubby, he has no qualms with her UNLESS he is reading the newspaper of which she will climb up on his lap and whap at it from behind :) She climbs your leg for attention...not a real climb but a "HEY! Pick me up! I want lovens" and purrs like theres no tomorrow!

There is one thing they both agree on...THE TUB! It doesn't matter if you just showered, or if you just cleaned, they are infatuated with the tub. If you take a bath be sure to close the door or their tails will drape in the water and they will bat at the water. Both like to get in there when nothings going on, just sit there in the tub looking at the wall. I have no idea why. Showers are more entertaining, they get between the shower curtains and bat at you when you least expect it! Very frightening if you are unaware!

They are spoiled with homegrown catnip, silly kittehs, and when they get wound for sound I give them a pinch and no more. They will play for awhile longer and then nap and nap like theres no tomorrow. They do not like store boughten, we have tried, in toys or even in a spray, its got to be Mom's stuff of nuthin, or so they say.

We all love our kittens very much and they are growing up so much and are turning into some very pretty young ladies. They are not allowed outside yet, which I think they are grateful as they run from the door when it is opened. They can go out when it gets warmer and they have been spayed, no babies for these two as I have a problem giving them away. Not that I can't...I just worry when someone takes them home. Are the babies getting the care that they need and such. It will be intersting to see how our barn cat Hannibal will get along with them, he has been neutured so no worries there and he watches them from outside through a glass door.

 Now the dogs adore these kitties and have been their clean up crew which is quite funny as they attack the dogs more than get cleaned. Here you can get an idea of our dogs, Meira is the large one, and Bandit or Ole' Man as we call him, is the Jack Russel. Meira has grown substantially and it is comical to watch the twins beat up on her...she just lets them:) and you will find she wags her tail for them to whap at and pounce on.

There is one in our home that could care less if they are here. Actually she would prefer that no other critter should live here but her. She is awful to baby goats! The dogs get mad at her and won't let her get near them. She is not nice to anyone including me. Oh sometimes I can have her attention-usually when she thinks I have something good for her. Her name is Miss Kitty, a ragdoll I rescued. She had a collar caught around her mouth and it had caused an infection on both sides of her mouth. We have had Miss Kitty since she was around six months old, she is seven years now. She is an indoor/outdoor cat and when the twins get too rambuncious she either puts them in their place or goes outside. But she is in agreence with the two in that Mom's catnip rocks whether it is fresh or dry and on a summers day you can find her sacked right by the plant after her catnip snack.

Sonja and Selene will be provided a home until the day they pass over Rainbow Bridge, just like any critter we raise inside. They are loved and encouraged to be good fun loving kitties. I keep their claws trimmed to save on furniture. And we put up carpet samples in the hall doorways for them to climb and play on. They both have learned to jump for one side to another but they are just too darned fast  for me to catch that act on the camera! Our Calitude kittehs are loved so much, not that you can tell ;), and I hope we have many many years with our kittehs and they stay so fun and sweet.
