Sasha & Sophia

We are lucky to have some of the sweetest cats on the planet...not to mention the prettiest. Even if you are not a cat person, you'd love these cats. We bought Sasha and Sophia from a breeder in Dallas who has on average about 20 cats at any given time, mostly show-quality full bred Silver Tabbies. She does however sell her pet quality cats to loving homes. We bought Sasha last year and were so happy with her that we recently got Sophia. Both cats come when called, can fetch an object, greet you at the door, lick your hand when you pet them, and play well with the kids and eachother (kinda like dogs). They are very athletic and can jump really high! Some can even be trained to do tricks. We really haven't done much on training them, because they are so much fun already. Sophia is a little firecracker...so funny, speeeedy, and curious. She nearly trips you every morning because she tries to lay down on your feet. When she meows you can barely hear it... almost like she has a broken squeaker. Sasha is quiet and sweet, greets you every morning with a string of meows that end in a question mark, rolls over on her back to have her belly rubbed (another dog-like trait) and loves to eat a lot. Sasha loves playing with Sophia and will endure anything the boys can dish out. She is awesome. Well enough chatter, on with the pictures.
After all, a picture is worth a thousand words! :)

The girls look sleepy, time for a catnap.

Sophia can beat you every time in a staring contest!

Sophia yawning....she's lost almost all of her baby teeth.

A good picture of Sophia's markings. Ain't she sweet?
My sister-in-law Jenny Mathis (yes, there are two of us) thinks these cats look like a black and white watermelon. Can you see it?

Okay, Jenny, you know I have never been a cat person, but I really thought that Sasha was beautiful when I came to visit. Sophia is gorgeous as well. With a 7-week-old puppy in our house, I am starting to wish we had gotten a cat. BEAUTIFUL pictures! By the way, we have a camera lens cap that does not fit our lens--are you missing one?

Jenny! So glad that you have joined the wonderful world of blogging.

Seeing your cats makes me want to have one again. I grew up with a beautiful Tabby who we named "Tabby", but later renamed "Flabby" (for obvious reasons). I love how cats develop their own unique personalities.

I'm happy to hear that you have seen the awesome wonder that is zombo.com. There is no limit at zombo.com. Anything is possible!

We miss your family! It was fun getting to spend so much time with you guys, but sad to see it end. We were so impressed by Connor's paintings, they're really beautiful. Much better than some of the stuff I've seen in my ART classes in college.

Hey, what's Sean's email address? I wanted to ask him what that free virus protection software he has is called.

Thanks Jenny! Tell everyone we say hi.
