Backtracking to April 19 -- Gotcha, Malka and Canti!

As I said, I probably have 3 big posts to bring this up to date, but I missed being able to share this special day when it rolled around and I didn't want to let it pass by totally unmarked.

April 19 was Malka and Canti's Gotcha Day! Two years ago on that date, we picked up tiny baby kittens who were starving and covered with filth and brought them home. The kitten who became known as Canti was SO hungry, he waded into his food with all four feet.

Once the kitten who became known as Malka had a full belly, she curled up and went to sleep on my lap -- something she has never done since.

Look carefully -- you can see the filth I spoke of in the vicinity of her rear end. Suffice it to say that the first time we rinsed her off, the water turned black.

But they both cleaned up really cute.

And two years later, they are beautiful cats who wouldn't turn around and look at the camera on their Gotcha Day.

Of course, the camera was nowhere near as interesting as this:

That, of course, is just one of the many lizards who spend their days sunning on the blocks outside the sliding door, providing endless hours of cat entertainment.

Malka and Canti, we are all glad that we Gotcha!
