Shaun and I have matching cats.

Shaun and I have matching cats.  Check this out:

This is Shaun's cat-cat, Sindar.

This is Shaun's cat Boo, now known as Ember, from the shelter.

This is my poor shelter kitty, Mox, now known as Snaga.

This is my fur-child Midna. The goofball who just fell off into my lap. 😂

So Shaun has had Sindar for quite a few years - she's about 4 years old. I got Midna last year when she climbed up my leg to escape life at the neighbor's house and she's about 8 months old. We were at PetSmart a few weeks ago and came across Morwen and Snaga who are both female like our cats and the same ages, too. It was so bizarre. I know that Midna enjoys having company and Shaun was thinking that Sindar would enjoy a friend so we just had to get them. We kind of let the cats pick where they wanted to be - Morwen was rather freaked by my dogs, whereas Snaga used the litter box and settled in for a nap right away. So our original plan was to each have twins, but we ended up with matching sets and that's pretty cool, too.

But wait - it gets even cooler. (If you're dorky like me, that is. 😜) Midna was given away at KMart in Anniston... Morwen was a feral kitten found at the Dad's BBQ in the very same parking lot. They have exactly the same white spots on their chests and they are the same age. I really, truly believe that they must be sisters. I would not put it past someone to try to give away kittens out there and then dump the unfortunate babies that were left. We didn't find this out until after we'd taken them home, but that just made the story of our matching cats even more bizarre.

And so that is all the silliness for tonight.

On a more serious and quite sad note I found Neo dead this weekend. I remember waking up and spraying him and him acting like he loved it, as usual. When I came home that evening he was just gone. Considering that I really have no idea how old he was, (remember, he was a rescue, too), I'm just going to guess that it was old age that got him. I never saw any signs of illness or anything and I'd had him for a few years. I feel sure that he was grown when he came to me so I only hope that he enjoyed his stay. He will most definitely be missed. ❤
