My Beloved Animals!

Simon!

The picture on the top left is of my cat named Simon. I acquired Simon from my friend Rhonda when she became sick and had to spend an extended amount of time in the hospital. Simon is probably the meek one of the bunch who just loves to make friends and give you kisses. He loves to be near you and loved on, but always remember, it is at his own volition. When he doesn't want you bothering him (as most cats are), he has learned how to kung fu kick and has been known to knock my glasses off my face with one swing (fortunately he has been declawed). Simon (who is around 13 years old) loves to go outside and roam around (supervised of course) and he makes an excellent bedmate.

Bo-Bo Cat! (a.k.a. Bo-Ster)

Back when my daughter was 2, I decided that she needed a pet of some kind. A friend of mine had a cat who just had kittens and *presto*, I had an easy way to expand my family. Now that Bo-ster is almost 17 years old (April 28th is her birthday), she has not only seen my daughter grow up, but she has been a witness to many things in which have happened in my life. Even though she is getting older and who knows how much longer she is going to be with us, the only thing that shows her age these days is she has lost some weight. Bo-Ster is just as fiesty (maybe that comes with age) as she ever was. Maybe she can't chase birds outside anymore, but you can see in her eyes that the desire is still there.

Buddy Love!

Buddy Love (who celebrates another birthday on May 11 which he will be 10 years old) is my big ole boy. He and I have always had a special bond as I wouldn't say he is my favorite, but I am somewhat partial to him. Just like a lot of people don't seem to understand me, Buddy Love is pretty much just like that too. I would love to know what he would say if he had the ability to talk even if it were just for 24 hours. What he could enlighten me with. Even though Simon and Buddy Love look very similar in appearance, they couldn't be more different. Buddy Love is most definitely the "Alpha Cat" of the house as he really wants to dominate the others by intimidation.

Teddy Bear!

As if 3 cats are not enough, what is 1 more? Teddy Bear came to become my baby one day when he arrived on my doorstep from out of the blue. Seeing as I am partial to the little four-legged creatures, it was hard not to fall in love with his cute little face and sweet disposition. Now that he has been with me for almost 2 years, I can't imagine being without him. Out of all of my 4 cats, Teddy always seems so appreciative of everything you give him whether that be food, love, belly rubs, and kisses. I have established that he is better than most men because what human male will willingly come running to meet you at your car everytime you pull into the driveway? He does this regardless of what the weather is doing. Maybe him being a stray gives him a different perspective on things that all he really wanted was somebody to love him.
