Sydney and Crosby


We have had many cats over the years (9 to be exact - Puss, Motorboat, Negs, Fluffy, Samantha, Lucky, Chocolate, Sydney and Crosby), but these 2 crack me up so much.  It is probably  because they are sisters and double trouble.

You never know where they are going to turn up and most times it is hard to tell which cat it is in the bag, in the box, or hiding in the plants.  They don't like to be picked up and held, but if they need attention they make sure you know they are around and needing a scratch or pet.


They have definitely decided that they should rule the roost and have no problem chasing Chocolate around if in the mood.  Of course, Chocolate pretty much lets anyone chase him around for some reason.  Lucky gives the girls a wide birth but every once in awhile you will catch him licking their ears or washing their face.


I think that the names Sydney and Crosby fit them very well.  They were Lucy and Ethel when they were found and brought to the vets office.  Greg was in charge of picking the new names and he did a great job.

I have to pick two pictures for the Christmas ornaments for the tree (of all of our pets - past and present).  I am having a difficult time because when I look at the pictures, I can't tell them apart.  I have a hard enough time when looking at them in person.  Crosby has a darker stripe along her back and Sydney is somewhat lighter in fur coloring.  No matter what, they both have a similar personality - "stinker".

Who would have thought that I would go from totally disliking cats when I was in my teens, to having a houseful of them as an adult.
