Hi, I see our human has been posting on here already before we've even had a chance to introduce ourselves - we apologise for her bad manners - hoomans,tsk!
My name is Mischa and my brother is called Magic. We are 4 year old black Bombay cats with golden eyes. Well probably Bombay crosses to be fair as Magic has white fluffy bits on his belly and I have white tufts in my soft armpits.
Our human mummy and daddy adopted us when we were 13 weeks old. They had seen an advert for black kitten's for sale £25 and having been without a feline companion for over a year (the saddest year of mummys life she now says), they popped over to see the kittens, intending just to have 1 of them, the male if suitable. Well when they met us, Magic came down the stairs first on his sturdy kitten legs, followed by me and then our little sister. They said they fell in love with us at first sight. Daddy was holding Magic and mummy was holding me and she made a split second decision to take us both. Mummy normally very indecisive so daddy was amazed ! The human they bought us from said if she bought one she could have the other for free, as they seemed like good cat carers and wanted us to go to a happy forever home. That's why mummy sometimes says I was a BOGOF kitty. Our little sis stayed with the human we were bought from.
We started our life with human mummy & daddy in a 1 bed flat with no garden so mummy bought us a floor to ceiling scratching post with many platforms and hammocks, right by the window. And she and daddy walked us on harnesses and leads as they had no garden. Magic loved his walks outside and liked to roam far, but I preferred to sit on the doorstep on Mummy's lap and watch the other humans and birds from her cosy lap !
Then 2 years ago we moved with our human parents to a house in the countryside. We have a garden now ! Mummy says the road out front may not be safe for us kitties. So after a few trips out in the garden on the harness and leads, she allows us supervised jaunts in the garden. Daddy human put 2 foot of coated wire on top of the fence, all the way round the garden so even Magic can't get out over the fence and boy can he jump high ! We love to eat the long grass and watch the birds. Mummy got us LED collars for the darker evening's so we can't hide anymore when she says it's time to go back indoors !
We are big cats, the vet says we might get mistaken for panthers
Daddy is proud of our size and when we were little he joked he wanted to grow giant cats. They have always fed us on top quality food and we have grown big and strong. I am told I am a bit plump possibly as I often try to steal my brothers food, well anyone's food really ! My humans try to control my calorie intake but I try to find ways to foil them ha ha !
I love to snuggle up on Mummy's lap or spoon next to her when she's is sleeping. Magic likes to sleep in the middle of my humans bed and sprawl out so they are lying on a thin strip of mattress each side of him. Sometimes he won't let me share the bed space, he wants all the fuss and attention himself.
We do fight at times like any siblings, but we love each other really and hate being apart. We get into hi-jinks together e.g. I broke into the new bag of cat biscuits with my sharp little teeth while Magic shielded me from mummy!
I like to clean Magics ears and he cleans round my face. My human's go "Awwwww!" when they see this. Humans are strange.
