It was once by no means my plan to get cats—I’ll admit, I’ve been extra of a canine particular person my complete existence. However my spouse and I agreed that having our ladies develop up with each canines and cats can be an excellent enjoy for them. Neatly, I’m satisfied we made that call, as I’m now a company cat lover, and so are my youngsters. If truth be told, Jack and Girlie’s names got here from my eldest daughter.

Jack
Jack, or “Jackal” as he’s extra frequently referred to by way of my ladies, is the fluffier, greater, and extra reserved of the 2 siblings. Once I say reserved, I imply he’s now not precisely satisfied to cuddle on my lap, or any place close to me, in reality. Jack likes his house, and because he was once a kitten, prefers to sleep on his personal phrases. Don’t get me mistaken, he’s satisfied to obtain all of the petting he can get and can meow and purr at your legs till he will get it—simply don’t be expecting him to be snuggling someone.
Jack is a homebody and doesn’t spend very a lot time outdoor, under no circumstances up to his sister. He likes his comforts and prefers to stay round with reference to his meals bowl! My canines repeatedly try to make pals with Jack, however he needs none of it. My smallest canine, Charlie, nonetheless tries desperately in spite of many swipes to the nostril!
Girlie

She’ll clutch any probability she will be able to to sit down on our lap and snooze and take turns dozing subsequent to my daughters at evening. She’s additionally way more of an explorer than Jack, and I incessantly see her exploring beautiful a long way clear of the home, even from time to time approaching quick walks with us and the canines.
Girlie has all the time been a hunter and took care of any mice in our house—a lot to my daughters’ sadness. This become an actual drawback at one degree when she began looking birds too, however we fortunately controlled to forestall the conduct moderately temporarily.
Now that she’s older, she has stopped looking altogether however nonetheless likes to discover the backyard and climb timber. Girlie turns out to like being outdoor, however within the night time will come inside of and search out her day-to-day dose of snuggling.
Girlie and Jack’s Breed
Girlie and Jack are each “moggies”, or mixed-breed cats. I sadly don’t have any data on their oldsters, however making an allowance for they’re siblings, they do glance moderately other. Jack is a long way fluffier and has a silky, deep black and gray coat whole with an exquisite fluffy tail. Girlie is extra orange and brown, with a brief easy coat, and is far smaller and lighter than her brother.
I’m excited to percentage extra about those two quirky tom cats, and the adventures they stand up to week after week!
