Meet our 'kids'... |
Athena Carlotta Carluchi |
Apollo Gotti Carluchi |
I came to live with my daddy on May 30th, 1994. It was my daddy's birthday and I was his birthday present from my Aunt Leah. I was really tiny, only about 6 weeks old. It was just me and daddy at first and I'd get really sad when daddy had to leave for work. I used to have fun with him, though! I had him so wrapped around my paw! If I cried at 3:00am, he'd be right up to feed me! Not too long later, Aunt Leah asked daddy if 'The Orange Kitty' could stay with us for a couple weeks untill she found a home for him. My daddy didn't want another kitty but I was having so much fun with him that daddy couldn't bare to take him away from me. He's still with us and we named him Apollo. I love him a lot but sometimes I have to show him who's boss and I beat him up. He's such a wussy! He always hides behind mom and dad! It was just me, Apollo and daddy for a long time and then we got momma in 1997. She gives me baths and lets me watch her put on makeup in the morning. Momma and daddy say I'm a princess because I sit really prim and proper with my paws crossed. I'm really lady-like except when it comes to beating up my brother and hunting. I'm the best! I catch birds from our 2nd story deck every summer! My daddy taught me how to shake and how to talk when someone asks if I want a treat. My momma thinks that I'm part siamese because my Grandma Melanie is allergic to siamese cats and the first time she saw me, her eyes got watery and she had a hard time breathing. My momma also thinks that because I talk a lot. Momma and daddy think I talk too much sometimes but I just talk because I love attention! |
I came to live with daddy and Athena in the summer of 1994. My Aunt Leah rescued me from the Humaine Society and brought me to my daddy. I was still pretty little, but daddy knew I was going to be big because I had big paws. Now I'm all grown up and I'm so tall that when I stretch up on my momma's leg, I go all the way up to her waist! People always say that I'm a big cat when they see me, too. My sister is a little bit smaller than me, but for some reason, she's tougher. She beats me up a lot. But, I deserve it most of time. I get really jealous of her when she gets attention so I try to take the attention away from her. I love her, though. My momma and daddy say its just sibling rivalry. They say that I'm just a big kitten because I like to race around the house and have fun. Me and my sister play tag a lot. I like to irritate my momma and daddy by running under the blankets when they're trying to make the bed. They laugh at me all the time because I guess I'm funny. Momma thinks that I'm cute because I have freckles on my nose and on my mouth. Daddy taught me how to give 'head butts' and kisses. I also know how to open the kitchen cupboard. I bang it when I'm hungry. I like to run in the hall way every chance I get! I don't go very far, though. Athena doesn't get out as much as I do but when she does, she goes far and that kinda scares momma and daddy. I love to cuddle! At night, I cuddle with momma until she falls asleep and then I go over to daddy and cuddle with him until he falls asleep. I like sleeping in my leopard print bed and on momma's pink blanket, too. I hunt like Athena but I only catch leaves. I don't like birds. |
