Let me Introduce....

THE laziest cat in the world! This is Kenyon. We rescued him from a shelter just a little over 3 years ago. He was born at the shelter and had spent his first 5 months there in a cage with his brother's. When he came home with us he was terrified at the prospect of having so much room to roam. We already had another cat and her name is Melissa...
Yup , the girl has attitude! This look says it all. She is an elderly old woman now but she has been like this her entire life. We got her when she was a few weeks old from a friend's Mom who had a litter born on her property. We lived in Maryland at the time which makes Melissa about 12 or 13- we disagree about what year it was so we speculate. She is definitely not a lap cat except to my son Justin who in Melissa's eyes can do no wrong. She absolutely adores him and he is her person. Needless to say she wanted NOTHING to do with Kenyon when we brought him home and we felt Kenyon needed some companionship so we went back to the shelter and came home with...
Rocky (The Rockster). If a cat could be a rock star Rocky would be one. He is one cool cat. He and Kenyon hit if off and they are the best of buddies. Rock was a teeny , tiny baby when we brought him home and him and Ken would romp and roll all over the floor. We found ourselves turning off the tv just to watch them play. That was a couple of years ago and occasionally they will still get into a little romp but Kenyon has let himself go and hardly ever gets up except to eat and chase yarn .Rocky spends his days looking out the window hoping to spot a bird or bug to watch when he's not asleep on the bed. He's a nutty boy when the yarn comes out and occasionally gives chase with Melissa. I guess you would call us "cat people".Who couldn't just love em?
