NORMAN and FELIX

[sasha the cat]

These are "our boys" Norman the King and his baby brother Felix the Prince.



This photo was taken on Thursday, January 25th. We recently celebrated Norman's 1st year with us on January 14th. His former family moved and could not take Norman who will be 10 on May 8th. They asked Dr A to place him in a loving home [Dr A being Norman and our late Sasha's veterinarian]. Norman came home to us January 14th 2006 and we love him dearly.

We wanted a younger sibling for Norman and on August 1st, 2006 Felix joined The Palace. He and his sibling Cloe were abandoned as young kittens and rescued by a staff member at Dr A's. When Felix was ready to join a family Dr A thought of us. Felix will be 2 on Canada Day, July 1st. He is still a kitten at heart and acts like he's six months old. Such fun; he makes us laugh all the time and keeps Norman young.

Felix has grown into a very beautiful, long, ultra furry Maine Coon tabby cat and weighs 14.7 pounds; Norman who is a bengal tabby is a sleek cat, much smaller than Felix. Norman weighs slightly over 11 pounds. They are very good buddies and fabulous entertainers -- worthy of Oscars -- and they give us more than we can ever give them.

We call Norman "Norman the King" and Felix "Felix the Prince" because they have inherited the Palace of our late darling Sasha, the Queen Calico Cat.

My husband, Murray AKA Paw-Paw was absolutely terrified of cats when I met him in 1984. My precious Tiggy (b. 1985, d. 2000) was a wee kitten and he could scare Murray just by being a silly, playful kitten! Happily, Murray got used to kitties and his first cat was the late Sasha -- our cat together. He adored her. Murray calls Norman and Felix "my boys".

I'm delighted that Paw-Paw now is an ardent cat lover because, personally, I think life without a cat is not a life at all.

What a treat to meet the new additions to the royal family!!!

I'm sure sweet Sasha is watching over them; probably shaking her head at times and what they get up too. I'm sure she paw picked them for you!!!

What handsome fellows they are too!

Wow Felix is one beautiful cat and Norman is one handsome tabby.

Thanks for sharing them with us, but I must confess that we need to see more pictures of the lovely King and Prince.

I don't mean to laugh, but that was a funny story about your hubby being afraid of a wee kitty. I'm glad that his fear of cats is gone now and he can enjoy their funny ways and the unconditional love that they give.

Its So Good To See Norman And Felix Being Such Devoted Friends As A Cat Alone Is Not A Complete Cat As Everyone On This Earth Wants Someone To Play With, Whos Thier Own Kind.
The King And The Prince. I Wonder If A Princess Stray Would Fit Into The Eqaution One Day.
