Gus-Gus and Gronk One Year Later

Last year on Valentine's Day our family adopted 2- 7 month old kittens from a friend. We had no idea what fun they would bring to our lives. 

Gronk is on the top shelf, Gus-Gus is on the lower shelf. 

The kitties have definitely developed their personalities. When we got them Gus Gus was the more timid cat. He liked to hide underneath the couch and did not like to be touched at all. 

Fast forward a year, and Gus Gus is now playfully known as "Psycho" as he runs full force from one side of the house to the other. He will run up and down the stairs jumping off of furniture and just being crazy. He also loves to be petted. He will rub up against mine and Bill's legs begging for pets and if/when we stop he will playfully slap at our legs for more. He also loves to lay on our bed and will cuddle next to me at times if I am sitting in bed reading. 

Gronk, is now playfully called "Fat Cat" as he is the heavier of the 2 cats. His favorite activities include sleeping upstairs (either on our cedar chest or on one of the boy's beds) or on the top shelf that separates our dining room from our living room. He also loves chasing sparkling balls. He also purrs very loudly. Gronk also has recently developed a curious streak. The other day he snuck down into our basement while the door was open (we don't allow the cats down there). Then later he stuck his head out of our back door as I was waving to Bill as he was leaving.  

They definitely add something special to our house. So one year of pet ownership is behind us...here's to many more!
