Don Juan is my special boy. I love his thick fur with its pretty spots and stripes, and the way he'll *beg* to be brushed. I love him climbing on my shoulder (all 12 pounds of him) to snuggle and purr. I love the way he takes possession of any female lap in the house. (Does that name suit him!) I love how, at the age of seven and a half, he still managed to hop on top of the shower door for some "balance beam" practice... then paced back and forth for about five minutes, trying to decide how to get back down.

Zerlina is always at the door when I come in, ready to greet me with a nose kiss. I love her vast vocabulary of meows, purrs and chirps. I love giving her belly rubs. I love her spider hunts, and her ability to snatch flies out of the air. And I love how she keeps her big brother alert and exercised!
