Mimi (14 years young) came to me as a six week old kitten. She was my salvation after losing my Shrimp Boat in a tragic way. A girl who worked with me had an "illegitimate" litter from a brother/sister match, which did not matter in the least to me. Mimi was "fixed" as quickly as possible, and she has been my lifeline, ever since.

Butter showed up at our house in the dead of winter, one of the coldest I can remember. He was sleeping under the exhaust from our gas furnace. That was almost 3 years ago. He is a naughty boy, but has settled down over the years, and is probably 5-6 years old now. We have moved, but he came with us, and he has settled in and is quite a fixture in our household.

We're so happy to have both of them, even if they can't stand each other.
