Samwise is grandchilded

Today Samwise met a couple of our grandchildren for the first time. They wore him out! As the sun went down, so did Samwise. He may wake up next week.

Love that tail!!!!

Samwise sure looks very handsome in that picture

what a sweetie!

He's so beautiful. Grandkids are always good kitty exercisers.

He's all exhausted poor Samwise.

Oh ow sweet he is - and I see the sock is of...

Poor tired kitty all worn out.

There's nothing cuter than a kitty...unless it's a sleeping kitty.

Since he had to go to the vet this morning for his annual shots we took the sock off yesterday for him to play with the grandkids.

This morning he had scratched the scab off his booboo again.

So off to the vet, she managed to give him one shot with the greatest of difficulty, gave up on administering the other for a couple of days since he was so wound up, got new ointment for the booboo, and when he settles down a bit, on goes another sock -- although we may have to give the gremlin a general anesthetic in order to get it on.

And that was a brand new pair of socks -- never been worn.

I love to see pictures of Samwise, he is sooooo cute
Too bad he scratched his boo boo again! Silly Samwise scratching your boo boo is a no no

Samwise is so handsome

One of the many interesting attributes of the Turkish Van cat is that their tails have an independent life of their own. Even when they are sound asleep the tail will continue wiggling and jumping around. In order to get a good sleep they have to either lie on their tail or put a leg over it. Sometimes they get quite upset at their tail. Miss Kitty, by the way, thinks that Samwise's tail is the best toy in the house.

So I've noticed that though I seriously doubt Kuce is a Turkish Van but she has a close pattern to it. And her tail never seems to stop moving when she sleeps.

Pass on much attention to both Samwise and Miss Kitty.

Kuce is absolutely adorable, and after studying her charming photos we cannot help but suspect that somewhere in her family tree there may have been an indiscretion with a Turkish Van. The coloration pattern is almost a dead giveaway - not only the tail, but she has the distinguishing spot on her lower body known in Turkey as "the mark of Allah." We have attached a photo which we lifted from her website which shows the spot vividly.

Samwise and Miss Kitty send their regards and say that they wish they could come play with all her great toys.
