Two shy young cats were in my charge for the weekend while the rest of the family went to Disneyland. Honeysuckle and Puss n Boots were rescue cats. They have a little clip from one ear- a sort of badge of honor that marks their rough start in life. It must have been a traumatic start because they were real scaredy cats at first , jumping a foot in the air and scampering away at the slightest movement when they first came to their new home. I usually only saw glimpses of Puss n Boots as he would make a mad dash from one hiding spot to another whenever visitors like me were in the house. But thanks to their feline curiosity. a few ear rubs and not to mention salmon flavored cat chow we are good friends now.

What sweet kitties! Will they tempt you into getting a kitty of your very own? Don't fret about their shyness. Tobias hid behind my washing machine and wouldn't come out even to eat for the first three days he was here. Finally he got sufficiently hungry, came out, and while he was eating, I shopped up his access to his hiding spot. Then he was forced to bond with me. But it was slow going at first.
