I'm Kirsten, willing slave to seven of the most wonderful cats in the world, as well as three slightly psychotic chinchillas and two elderly ferrets. This blog will hopefully serve as an outlet for my obsession with these furry fiends. I should mention that I work at an animal hospital, so I'm lucky in that I get discounted medical care for the critters and a wealth of information to draw from at almost all times.
Cats of Character:
Luna Moth: 10-year-old patched brown mackeral tabby/torbie, domestic short hair, has a pink left hind foot, a freckle in her right eye, hypertropic cardiomyopathy and an iron hold on this household.
Vincent Tiberius: 6(ish)-year-old brown tabby Maine Coon cat, molestor of unsuspecting humans, declawed by former owners, ex-stray, on mood stabilizing medication.
Stella Blue: 1 3/4-year-old silver and black mackeral tabby with white mittens, socks and muzzle smudges, domestic shorthair, exuberant practitioner of kitten karate, killer of beanie babies, and her daddy's peanut.
Penelope Jane: 1+year-old patched brown classic tabby/torbie, domestic short hair, Luna's protege, occassional bully, faucet fanatic, fuzzy mouse fetch fiend. (Sister to Persephone May and Calliope Anne.)
Persephone May: 1+year-old patched brown classic tabby/torbie with white mittens and socks and half red/half brown face, domestic short hair, polydactyl fraidy cat. (Sister to Penelope Jane and Calliope Anne.)
Calliope Anne: 1+year-old silver and black classic tabby with mittens, bib and boots, total love slave to Vincent Tiberius, untouchable fraidy cat. (Sister to Penelope Jane and Persephone May.)
(Collectively the three sisters are called "the Sorority Sisters." Get it? Greek names, "sorority"... Okay it may be lame but it works.)
Anya Gray: 9-month-old pewter gray domestic short hair, declawed and spayed for practice by a new veterinarian at my hospital, victim of Penelope's bullying, participant in Stella's karate matches, cuddle monster.
(Guess how long I've been working at the veterinary hospital.)
Crazy Chinchillas:
Selma: 6(ish)-year-old former breeder given to a veterinarian at my hospital instead of being culled, loves her wheel.
Patti: Her daughter born March 28, 2007, chews on knuckles and is addicted to dried cranberries.
Seymour: Patti's brother, a little "off" will eventually live with one of my coworkers who can give him individual attention.
Fiesty Ferrets:
Sam: White with black eyes and black splotch on his right hind leg, possibly has lymphoma, loves playing with cats and water.
Rose: Albino, Sam's life partner, has adrenal disease, no spleen, and a hairless tail, totally obsessed with shoes.
Ferrets were adopted from Semper Fi Ferrets outside of Philadelphia several years ago.
