Whiskers the Giant

Still can't believe this is the same, scrawny, 1.5 lb. pipsqueak we brought home 11 months ago.  Part of this has to be the camera angle, and part of it is fluff (I swear he has the hair of two cats).  But some of it is just that he is BIG! :)

Snowy's latest spot

Don't you love our fluffy, white new towels?  Second, *note to self*  Don't leave the linen closet open if you don't want to find a cat in there. ;)

Spray bottle face

For as cute and sweet as he is, Whiskers can be a REALLY rotten cat!!  He scratches the couch, jumps onto high shelves and cabinets and knocks things off, often very deliberately.  Just like a toddler, he feels that negative attention is still attention.  Ugh.  Good thing he is cute.

His Scottish Fold heritage is evident!

Working the system

About half hour before each mealtime, Whiskers will flop on the floor and stick his feet in the air.  I am convinced he does this on purpose--Look how cute I am!  Don't you want to feed me?  I call this "working the system."  Whiskers is pretty good at it. ;)

If you look at that chubby pink belly under all the fur, it is clear he does not miss many meals. ;)

Cats in the bath

Since he was a kitten, Snowy has thought water from the bathtub is equivalent to the finest spring water from the Swiss Alps.  Recently, Whiskers has discovered this luxury.  They are such funny (spoiled!) cats. :)

People still ask how we can tell them apart.  I honestly don't think they look much alike.  Even their fur is a different color.  Snowy is more cream and Whiskers is more white.  And of course the eyes are a big giveaway. :)

Christmas with the Cats

Christmas Eve

Jason put out an empty box to collect gift wrap--and cats.

Whiskers' gift--Greek yogurt.  His fur is so long it looks like he is wearing a robe!

Snowy got in on the yogurt action, too, but it isn't his favorite. :)

Our $1 cat Christmas hat.

Snowy's turn. :)
