The Cats of Akekal

Kendall is my first kitty.  I got her from the local animal shelter at about 8 weeks old (Mom and Dad paid the adoption fee as a birthday present!).  She's a calico (obviously!) and is in charge as far as the animals go!  She is very much a cat and tends to do things on her terms only!  But, she's very pretty, I love the divided mask on her face.

Simon is my tiger-striped tabby.  He was rescued as a feral kitten by a friend and partially hand raised.  He's extremely friendly and adores Cheyenne.  They love to play.  He is very smart and is clicker trained.  He can sit, lay down, roll over, play dead if you "shoot" him, wave, sit up and spin.  His marks are very striking in my opinion and I knew when I first saw him that he was supposed to be my kitty.

Kendall was less than thrilled having Simon around intially.  But she eventually got used to him...and sometimes even reduces herself to actually playing with him!

"Who is &^#$ is laying in my chair???"

Simon is a very "unique" cat...one of his major quirks is his complete inability to drink normally.  He regularly falls into his water dish while drinking and comes up sputtering and sneezing.  To get around this, he's developed his own special way of drinking!!

First, you lay all the way down.....

then you brace yourself with a paw so you don't fall in.....
