Pussie’s galore!
I decided to do a blog on my cats after reading Sindie’s :O)
Here is our poor old lady – Livvie who, no matter how much I called her name, wouldn’t even look at me for the photo. Livvie who, when young, thought she was a dog and did lots of clever tricks. Sadly, the awful accident she had put pay to that. The only cat I know who refuses to drink from anything but the running tap in the kitchen, and who’s mewing could wake the dead!
Next is Chicken’s sister, Mitzi, who I woke up and made her look at me while I flashed away on macro setting, straight in her face. Bless her she just yawned a few times, curled up and went straight back to sleep. A refreshing change from the banshee we called Livvie, Mitzi doesn’t have a voice box – well that’s how it seems. I have never known such a silent cat! If she wants to go out she will just sit patiently waiting at the back door until someone happens to go by and see her. I’m not sure I have ever heard her make a sound, although Mo says she has. She is more loving now than when we first got her I’m glad to say.
Hmmmm….. Sukie! Well what a noisy cat Sukie is. She runs around the house making all sorts of very strange sounds. She seems to have a complete vocabulary all of her own! Extremely funny and extremely loving. We couldn’t have picked a better kitten. Mind you every now and then she gets into such a playful frenzy that you dare not attempt to pick her up, not if you want your hands left in tact :O)
She has a habit of going to Mo for some love then very suddenly rushing across the room and flings herself in my lap for strokes and kisses, then back to Mo, then back to me, then back …….. This can go on several times until she finally settles down somewhere, all loved up :O)
This photo is of Sheba just before she got ill and when she was about 16 years old. Aside from the eye colour Sheba and Sukie are identical to look at!
Stumble it!

Did Sukie always have orange eyes, even as a baby? She’s grown into such a pretty cat hasn’t she? Bless then all!

No, at first they were a bluey green colour. Slowly they turned this scrummy colour :O)

I didn’t realise that Sukie and Sheba were so alike! Poor Livvie. She had such a bad accident, and has had to go through so much since. She is a very brave cat:0)

I know. I still feel sad about not cuddling her when she got hit, but they say you shouldn’t in case of breakages. The sad thing is, she didn’t have any, so I could have cuddled her up close and comforted her :O(

I love the picture of Livvie and Sheba. Livvie looks quite chubby! Don’t they look devoted to each other.
Was it an accident that Sheba and Sukie look so alike or did you plan it. I wish we could get a picture of all our cats all together. That would be something eH?

We eapecially went for a look-alike, not that it would fool Livvie but we tried :O)
We could so a montage in Photoshop :O)

If Livvie didn’t have any broken bones, why did she walk so funny? Was it brain damage?
Beetle | 24 September 2007 at 23:50
No, she damaged the nerve that runs down her back to her legs. That gave her emotional trauma :O(

Oh Babs, they’re great. Mitzi looks quite like one of my Mums cats – that face soooo says ‘just woke up’!!
!!!
You sure Sukie hasn’t some siamese in her
Hope Livvie, is doing ok, bless her.
Hugs, Sarah x
