My Lewis is a outdoor cat with the occasional need to come inside, especially in winter. He has a bed on the chair closest to the back door so even in winter on sunny days he begs to be outside and I have big fluffy bedding under the canopy up high on the patio that he loves. He is a wise old cat who walks the sidewalk not the streets, he never lets anyone new touch him and he can climb up fast as our neighborhood has plenty of trees out front. He likes laying in cool soft damp dirt under the ever green tree. He gets brushed out every morning when he comes into eat his chopped chicken and get his medicine. He suffers from bite wounds, or scratches on his face because he is such an outside cat, I am thinking every time he goes across the street he gets into it with the neighbor cat.
Yet in the winter he usually stays very healthy and fatty, with soft thick cleaned fur as Jazzy cuddles him more.
My Jazzy is a "Mojito cat" for sure! She is calm and confident. She greets everyone at the front door with a rub and a meow. She lounges in whoever's lap will allow it and she purrs the second she is picked up or carried around. She is a loner too, when she feels tired of being so super social she will find hiding places to nap, right now her favorite place is napping under the raspberry bushes in the far backyard corner. She comes whenever she is called and she loves to ride on my shoulder all fluffy and chilled out. She sleeps up high in the office during the winter months with her big cozy blanket and food not far as my husband and I will play video games in there as she snores.
Jazzy loves to clean Lewy's face like a Momma cat, she naps into him so trustingly and she likes to tease Tinker, it's a game to her to go hide around the corner so when Tinker walks by she jumps out then Tinker freaks out and Jazzy just lays down like she is the Queen bee of the whole house.
My Tinker is really Tony's Tinker, He never takes her to the vet because he never wants her to think of him in a bad way. He learned so much about kitten care when we rescued her almost 13 years ago. He bottle fed her, he followed all the medications and he can just say her name once from where ever she is and she will be in his lap within seconds. I have never seen such a cat so loyal to only one human before! Tinker likes that I feed her, brush her and keep her litter boxes clean. She hates me when we are are at the vet or if I am playing with another pet. Tinker is the wallflower, the hidden cat waling through the house in hiding. Even though she can throw a fit, she has never bit, never attacked us on purpose...she just makes a lot of warning noises, she is pissed off all the time having been the only cat for the first 4 years of her life. Sometimes she will chase Lewis and then he will turn around to chase her the drama is never bad just warning that each one of them have places they don't want the other to share in. While Jazzy has no fear in facing either of them, Tinker hates being teased. She does love to play with Oscar, he grew up with her so they still snuggle and roll around with each other. Tinker loves going outside only if we go outside with her, she freaks out the moment we go back in or close the sliding glass door as she grew up inside only in a not safe crowded high traffic place. Once we had a safe backyard for her, she loved it! She was still very cautious of course.
Even though Tinker belle has been so grumpy through out the day it's at night when I am about to fall asleep that she comes over to sleep on my head purring. She wraps around my head like a hat and I know she is saying she is sorry for her bad attitude all day.
I wonder what will be the personalities of the kittens.
Marlin is chilled and fatter then Dory. He eats first and then goes play while she will play and play then go eat later on. They nap together, they clean each other. Marlin will go off into new places of the house while Dory will follow and if she looses sight of him she cries.
She will growl at him if she caught a new toy or is eating when he walks by, he lays down and she climbs up and up. So I can see different personalities in them already. They will be inside cats for at least a year or more since I hope they can bond with the older cats and learn how to be safe when going outside.
My life has taken on new challenges and new knowledge. I love watching how the new cat toys I just got have brought such excitement to the kittens too!
