Have I Not Introduced You?

It has occurred to me that I have mentioned the Bungalow pets, but I have never formally introduced you to them. My bad. Sorry dudes. Or maybe you don't care. In that case, this is your cue to hit that little "x" on the top of the screen.

We have two cats. Andy likes to say that I have two cats and he has no cats. This is not true because we SHARE the Bungalow, Andrew. Hence we SHARE the cats. Plus, Bella likes you the best anyways.

Both of the cats are shelter cats. I adopted Bella just over 3 years ago. She is now 4. I adopted Abby shortly thereafter to keep Bella company while I was at work. She is 3.

This is Bella (aka. Smella, Smells, Belly Fat, Hells Bells):


She's fat. Really fat. I try really hard to keep her out of Abby's food, but she's just so hungry all the time. She likes all people food, except for vegetables. She doesn't like those at all.

Fat.

Her favorite activities include: making bizarre noises constantly that I have never heard come from a cat, eating, acting like a dog, eating, rubbing on Andy's face (she likes the way his beard feels, I think), eating, airing her stomach out on the tile in the bathroom as seen above, eating, and trying to be up in your business as much as possible.

This is Abby (aka: Crabby Abby, Crabbycat, Baby Cat):


She's usually crabby, although she's gotten better in the past few months.

Crabby face.

Her favorite activities include: snuggling up on my legs when I have them propped up, hunting and killing all bugs in the house (this is one of the perks of having a cat), chirping at the birds and squirrels outside, sleeping on the ottoman, finding the best sunny spots to lay in, picking fights with Bella, cat yoga (she can really stretch herself into some weird positions), and being crabby to anyone who isn't me or Andy (sometimes).

I call them "los chats" or "los petite chats" or "harps" (autocorrect on my phone changed "gatos" to "harps" once and it stuck). They are cuddly little things with a whole lot of personality and attitude, which I have heard is rare for cats. I don't know. These are the only cats I've ever had. 

They always keep me company when I'm down for the count with a migraine.

Abby is appalled at Bella's display of fat.

Being adorable and such.

So now you've been properly introduced.

Ash @ HumberHome said...

Awww.. cuties! :)
Eve likes rubbing her face in Bob's beard, too... must be some weird cat-man bonding thing.

I love the last picture of them snuggling together. heart = melted!

Melissa said...

So cute! I'm so allergic to cats (throat swells, itchy, head congestion for DAYS after I'm around them) but I can appreciate the cute ones from a distance!

what a bunch of celebrichats!

Makaila said...

cuuute. :) My little sissy just got a kitty. They are precious! I love them.. maybe someday I will have one. Currently I have commitment and responsibility issues that forbid me from animal owning. Other than my beta fish Red, of course. :)

Oh man Bella is fat!! But in a cute way. :) It's so nice that they keep you company when you have migrains (although maybe you'd prefer to be alone). Our oldest dog just gets all nervous when we lay down because she thinks she did something wrong. She's a little needy.

So cute! I love the crabby face. My demon cat is developing quite the fupa.

Kelsey said...

I miss my fat cat...he was so quite...now...I have a formar fat shit cat who won't shut up because he is an ethopian cat and is starving. Nice to meet you Bella and Abby, I've heard so much about you!

We have two cats AND two dogs! One of our cats is like your Bella, he's pretty much a dog. So, we call him our Cog.

Melanie said...

"Abby is appalled at Bella's display of fat." hahaha, Hi Bella & Abby! :)

Ashley@AttemptsAtDomestication said...

Oh man, what fat cats! We dont have any pets, but I totally want a fat cat :)

Shannon said...

Such a fattie. Abby is built like a jaguar, lean muscle and really long. Bella is built like a bowling pin.

Shannon said...

Bella is the strangest animal I have ever met in my entire life. It is so very fitting that she is mine.

Shannon said...

I figure there's more of her to love. I also like to jiggle her fat.

Shannon said...

She looks like an angry old man. But she's my angry old man.

Shannon said...

We don't let the cats in the bed normally because you will 100% wake up with Bella trying to sleep on your head or Abby trying to groom your hair.

Shannon said...

Oh sad!! I'm allergic to short hair dogs. Including Andy's pug that he had to give to his brother when we moved into the Bungalow. I miss him.

Shannon said...

They have their moments of cuteness. And then they have their moments like last night where I witnessed Abby punch Bella in the head from her hiding spot under the coffee table.

Shannon said...

Too many animals out there that have been abandoned or unclaimed. I like to tell them that I saved them from impending doom.

Shannon said...

Thanks! I rather like them too.

Shannon said...

They are funny animals.
