Meet the ShadowCat Three


'Our Boys'-ChinChin in black, Charcoal in gray.

Of course we get along. We're like brothers!


ChinChin is a little over 10 years old now, and we've had him a bit about 9 years now, I believe. Charcoal is about a year younger, and he's been with us about a year less than ChinChin, He was guessed to be about 9 months at his initial physical in '98, putting him roughly at 9. Chin Chin is a modest 10-11 lbs, while the 'Big Guy' is +/-16 lbs.

ChinChin is prone to bladder stones, so has a prescription diet. He also gets a bit OCD about his cleaning. He is quite vocal, and will leap into your lap with no notice or warning. His credo is 'Attitude isn't Everything, it's the ONLY thing.'

Charcoal on the other hand is much more a mellow fellow. He will wait to be invited to your lap, and will nestle in. He is prone to kidney stones and blockages, so has his own prescription food as well.

Don't dare touch his belly or he'll squeak! Paws are also off limits for humans. Loves to be stroked straight down the back (NOT on the sides, thank you), and scratched right on the top of the head, the face, and nose.


As long as he stays on HIS side of the chair.


Charcoal-Our 'Big Guy'

You should see him trying to knead and nurse off my sweater! Abouy 10 years old, and 15 lbs with the LONGEST and WILDEST whiskers I've ever seen!


Chelsea

Last but definitely not least, our newest addition (since June '05)-Chelsea. Tiny, but such a treasure. Around 10 years old, just over 6 lbs, spayed, declawed, blind and with a kidney dysfuntion (different than Charcoals), she is just a miracle. We go twice a week to the vet for 100ml saline subdermal IV hydration.

This little one is a portent that I have work to do. And a shot in the arm about being able to be content and at ease despite overwhelming, uncontrolled, uncomprehendable and undeserved odds and obstacles.

Hope you enjoyed meeting our gang.
