A tale of two kitties

 

I have two relatively new additions to my menagerie, both cats.  We got Beezy, who is completely grey in the fall 0f  '09.  It is scary how fast time flies.  Out walking Leo, the dingo dog, there was a bird chirping in the neighbor's hedges along side of their house.

There was much discussion and some animated words on my part that of course it was a bird making that noise.  My girlfriend was just as adamant, albeit wrongly, that is was a kitten making the noise.  Somehow on the way over to investigate the bird  flew off unseen and completely coincidentally there was a kitten in the brush.

Beezy was a right around 2 weeks old.  She had been abandoned by her mother and despite not really being able to walk she crawled out from under the hedge, which was more like a briar.

It is amazing how instinctual the drive is among animals to imitate the adults.  My adult cats all prefer to drink out of the dog bowl which is raised.  In order to get to the bowl they stand up on their back legs and put their front feet either on the rim of the bowl or on the base.   Beezy was much too small to reach the dog water bowl.  But she was bent on imitating how the big cats drank.  She puts her paws up on the edge of any bowl she drinks from.  Which has resulted in getting rid of the smaller bowls as she would upend them and end up getting a shower instead of a drink.

 

Enter Jezebel.  This Fourth of July, Jezebel who was about 4 weeks at the time, was running around scared by all the fireworks like a maniac in the front yard at 2 am.  Miraculously she came to us even though we had never seen her before.  She is all black.  So now we have an all black and and an all grey cat.  I am looking for an all white one to complete the set.

 

While Beezy took her behavioral cues from all the other cats combined, there were three adult cats when we got Beezy, Jezebel thought Beezy was the best thing ever and began to emulate only her as closely as she could.  She does almost the same vocalizations as Beezy and yup she drinks with her front paws perched up on the edge of the water bowls.

 

Just a cute story to brighten what is left of your monday.  Forgive me for the least inspired title ever.
