The Big Kitty



Viewing the above two photos, who would you guess is nicer to Rameses? Which boy is gentle and caring and which one kicks the cat? It's a good thing the kitty is getting bigger and bigger because he needs every advantage he can attain in a home with twin three and half year olds.

I'm happy to report that Rameses continues to be a good, mellow pet despite the often unkind treatment that the VivaJake pair gives him. Sure the kids have acquired a few scratches, but not nearly as many as they deserve. Viva doesn't kick the kitty like Jake does, but she closed the door on him the other day and she ripped one of his claws out last month when he caught it on a ribbon.

Bentley was a little slower than the twins to befriend the new kitty, but when he did, he was wonderful. He's nice to him and often helps him escape the twins' abuses. The cat in return has made Bentley his favorite child. He shares Bentley's pillow at night and he naps with him during the day. Kindness pays!

what a beautiful cat, we had a siamese mix, it was good for Mariah, but we left her in Alaska, she was also a seal point, but had white paws and a white tipped tail. :) It's a lot for little kids, especially if they aren't declawed, (the cat not the kids). :-)
