Meet the kitties!

I spoke about these guys in my first post, but I have not shared any pictures yet, so here they are!

This is Sammi, she was my first cat. When I was still in Missouri, she belonged to my roommates. They didn't really like her much, and she had a history of bouncing around to different homes. She was pretty skinny, and not very fluffy at all. She had a lot of trust and attachment issues, but I fell head over heels in love with her. I started taking time every day to be alone with her, just to show her love. She got to really like me too, and when I found out I was moving to Virginia, she was offered to me.

Since then, she had become a totally new cat. She is the first one to greet new people, and will lay down on anyone's lap. She is just about the fluffiest kitty I know, and so gorgeous!

This is Barnaby Juniper Jones, but we call her Juniper or Junebug. We adopted her from Animal Control a couple of months after I moved here. She was all alone in her cage, and soso tiny(less than 1lb)! When we got her out, she immediately started purring and nuzzled my neck and we were sold.

She is the smartest cat I know. She knows sit, speak, fetch, drop it, and high five. She really likes to head-butt me and Corey(in the super adorable Lion King sort of way), which is probably my absolute favorite thing in the world.

This is Holdin' In The Heat Like A Fishstick, who we call Fishstick. A friend of a friend found him in a dumpster, and we were recommended as a prospective home. We had just had a really bad experience with attempting to foster another cat, so we were incredibly hesitant, but then they sent us a picture. Needless to say, we fell for him. When we went to meet him, he just meowed nonstop! We are both suckers for vocal cats, and we couldn't help but take him. My guess is he was about 4 months old when we got him, but it's hard to say.

He is a beast of a cat now! He is around 20lbs, and it is all muscle. He is incredibly strong and fast, but incredibly sweet. He is still just as vocal, and we still love it. His pattern is so beautiful, too. He has all of these gorgeous swirls instead of regular stripes, and his fur is like velvet.




So those are our cats! Our house is pretty small, so it gets rambunctious in here quickly. Any time we've had to take one to the vet though, it just feels so empty inside. They are all such good cats, with such diverse personalities,  I really couldn't ask for more.

Here's a very grainy picture of all of them having a snuggle with my darling husband, Corey! And a bit of our living room! Moments like these are what I live for(minus Sammi having ionic eyes, I really need to get an actual camera!)
