Quiet Cats

Well, I haven't written in awhile. Things have been very quiet on the cat front. We have been having hot weather so they basically have been laying around. Although, Grover is still bugging Lucy.

They both have been bird watching and I'm half expecting Grover to go straight through the screen! Grover did get in trouble when I caught him climbing up the deck/patio screen door. He climbed up it about 3 to 4 feet!!!! Brat.

Grover the baby cat

We just got Grover last October. He was so cute. Actually, he started out as a she, as apparently we didn't check close enough! So for a month, he was Alexis the pretty kitty; then we took her to the vet and he told us that he was definately a boy. I laughed! Of course, we had all the gender jokes and such. We still say he meows like a girl. He looked like a girl when he was small, now he definately looks and acts like a boy.

Grover is adventurous, likes to run and is all feet, he has this great big plume of a tail and proudly shows it off. He has a mane like a lion and lies down like one too. He loves to wrestle with Lucy and get her really ticked off. They will sit a lick each other and once he has had enough of that - the fight is on. Grover is usually quiet but some days can be quite vocal. He is smart as can be and has this beat up toy mouse that he takes everywhere.

Grover is occasionally cuddly, for like about, 10 seconds. But he does like to hang in the same room as everyone and sometimes, even on the same piece of furniture. Just don't pet him.

The vet told us that he looks like he has some Mancoon (Maine Coon) in him. So I looked up the description and we think that he does. He is very big, the big mane and tail, big feet with the best "tufts" of fur sticking out and the small "girly" meow. He's beautiful.

We love the Grove! Oh yeah, Grover's other names: Grove, the boy, the blur (because he runs so fast), Gopher and Bubbie.
