Monk and Mao
Mao is the handsomest kitty boy ever. He was kind of a surprise. My grandparents got him from someone who was giving away kittens in front of a grocery store, but had to find a new home for him after my Grandpa had had a few falls. Mao LOVES nudging legs and feet they thought he might end up tripping Grandpa. A few months later, Grandpa ended up in the hospital and I went to Utah to visit him. I met this naughty leg-loving cat and I instantly fell in love. Two days later, he was my passenger for the 8-hour drive back to Denver. Now he sits in the window and waits for my car to pull up. He meets me at the door and talks to me while he rubs on my legs until he tips over. He also loves to play fetch. When he’s really relaxed, his mouth starts to hang open and his shiny black bottom lip sticks out. It’s the strangest thing!
Monk is my apple-headed Siamese mix girl. Mao and I were getting ready to move out of the boyfriend’s condo into a place of our own and I decided to get him a friend before we moved. I was afraid he would get lonely while I was at work, and thought having a kitty friend might ease his transition into the new house. I rescued Miss Monk from a family who was going to take her to the pound because one of the children was allergic to her. You’d never guess it now, but she was the skinniest little thing when I picked her up! She’s now quite round, and has the funniest little short legs. She’s also surprisingly quiet for a Siamese. Her favorite thing to do is chase my shadow around the kitchen, and she’ll let me carry her around like a baby until my arm can’t handle it any more. I love these two to pieces!
