Angel and Romeo

Remember my little sweet kitten?
She grew up.
She's here with her Uncle Romeo.

When Angel arrived, the other kitties were NOT pleased. Except for Romeo.
She was so tiny, almost fit in the palm of my hand. She was so tiny she couldn't even get into the kitty bed. Or the litter box...

Can you imagine?
How could Sadie be so cranky over such a little thing?
Sadie was the worst.
Probably because Sadie was the boss.

Romeo was the youngest.
Romeo is the only cat I've EVER EVER EVER had that was

N O C T U R N A L.

sigh. What a challenge he was to live with.

Truly a wild thing! We called him "The White Tiger." (Those few of you that play World of Warcraft will understand the name. lol)

Anyway, long story short, Romeo taught her how to be. 

Romeo is also the only cat I've ever had that makes sounds almost all the time. They are sounds like  "Hmmmm? Hmmm?"--that go up the scale. And then he jumps down, he makes the "Hmmm!!!" sound. Its hilarious. (like a female tennis player, serving, sort of grunt)

Romeo taught Angel to make those sounds, too.

OMG, so precious.

He also taught her to be wild and free and how to pester the other kitties. And how to chase after poor Annabelle (who I think will get a new,  pretty pink collar today with spikes on it, to protect her poor neck)

We have one of those really tall kitty tree stands in our bedroom. (Seems there must be invisible writing on it that says "Only for Angel & Romeo!"

It is so fun to watch them on it.  They climb up the side from the floor to the top and swing around the post...  They will jump down from the top to the bed, a good 5 feet!

They play together so well. As you can see in the picture, they truly love each other. (so I guess I did need another cat...)
