Charlie, the big orange tabby, was adopted from a local shelter in Jan. 2005. He was approx. 8-9 mos. old when we got him. He still looked like a kitten and I never would have thought our little boy would grow up to be so large and weighing in at 14+ lbs. (And trust me, he does not over-eat) But I have noticed that most orange tabbies (at least at the shelters) all seem to be quite large. Maybe I'm onto to something here. Charlie is a fairly quiet boy, but very sweet and can be cuddly.
Then there is the younger one - Lucas! Yes, you see the exclamation point is there for a reason. Lucas is anything but quiet, but more about that later. Lucas was also adopted from the same local shelter in September of 2005. He is a 10 lb. gray and white tuxedo - who is very active and quite talented and therefore quite entertaining. Everyone LOVES Lucas! Both of the boys have been taught to sit, stand, shake paws and kiss - folks seem to really get a kick out of all of this. Lucas adds to this repertoire by being able to play catch, hockey, retrieve food from your pockets, clear counters of all movable objects, open doors, balance on top of the shower doors and leap tall buildings. (OK, maybe not tall buildings, but he can leap up to 7 ft. without a problem). Lucas also talks too much and can tell time (almost). He begins the 'dinner strut' along with the meow mix song approximately one hour prior to feeding time. He is such a joy to share the kitchen with for that 1 hour - you have no idea! I think you are beginning to understand what the exclamation point is for, yes?
