Here are our 'Three Stooges' AKA the Spayed Brigade
Barni, Blue, and Spot
(I just knew that ironing board was good for something!) Barni, Spot and Blue are all sisters, their mama Tasha went to kitty heaven but her progeny lives on. When these three were born each one bonded with one of us three humans in the house so we had to keep them all.
Spot AKA "Loudmouth" is the most outspoken of the bunch. She always has something to say and is not afraid to let everyone know about it. Her claim to fame was one day several years ago when we were still renting and our landlord put the house we were living in on the market. The realtor was in our house and we were showing him around. We had just explained that we did not want the house to be shown when we were not home because of our cats and as if to illustrate our point, as the realtor walked by the stereo speaker Spot was perched on she reached out her paw and WHAPPED the realtor as he passed! Spot loves all people (except for real estate agents) and is not really very fond of her sisters, or her newly adopted Doggie sister Casey who she habitually growls and hisses at. Spot is totally bonded with me and always wants to be in the same room with me. I work at home and she is usually perched on my windowsill as in the photo below, draped on top of my CPU, or sound asleep on my CATalog.
Barni AKA “Trouble” is always stirring something up either with us humans or the other pets in the house. She is very fond of hiding behind something and then pouncing on her kitty sisters, or batting at us as we walk by. She also loves to play with Casey her doggie sister in a game we call “Swat the Fluppy” Casey kind of “pounces” Barni and Barni tries to swat Casey. It’s pretty funny to watch. We stop the game when Barni starts hissing but I really don’t think we need to. Barni also can’t seem to resist swatting at Casey’s tail if Barnie is on her favorite perch, the back of the sofa, and Casey walks by. This usually starts another game of “Swat the Fluppy”. Barni was adventurous at only a few days old. I’d gone into the closet to check on the kitties. I didn’t like where the mom cat had them because it was on top of a box of clothes in the back of my closet and I was afraid that the kittens would fall out as the clothes were all the way to the top of the box. So I crawl to the back of the closet and Barni was missing! I had to pull everything out of the closet very carefully because I wasn’t sure where she was. I finally found her behind another box. We didn’t notice it at the time but we think she broke her tail in this mishap because she has 3 major kinks in her tail. It just adds to her charm though. Barni is Curlybug’s cat and has been so since the day she was born.
Blue AKA “Squeaky Face” is totally bonded with MrFunbug. He even made her a special little padded shelf in his studio so she’d have a nice comfy place to hang out that was off the floor. Blue always likes to be up on top of something. Like the top of the bookshelf, on the bed, back of the sofa, or her very favorite, in an inadvertently left open bedroom drawer atop freshly folded clean clothes. I call her Squeaky face because of her very high pitched meow. Blue also sports the most ridiculously fluffy tail and of all the kitty’s is usually voted sweetest temperament and is happy when perched on anyone’s lap being petted.
