Alan

 Alan is the older of my two black cats.

Alan

I was surprised at how many photos I have of Alan and Toast together.

On most of these, I don't know which one is Alan and which one is Toast!

Alan is the most vocal of my cats. He can really make a noise, especially if he's hungry or wants attention. He has this way of meowing and purring at the same time.

This was the other day, he just sat on David's lap for about 10 minutes, making these noises!

Most of the time, I don't mind, but if I can't figure out what he wants, then it does get frustrating!

The other day, he went missing. No one had opened any doors, so we knew he was in the house, somewhere. We found him on top of the shoe cupboard.

How did he get up there?

David had to get the ladder to lift him down.

Rescue time.

When he got down, he just huffed and walked off. I think he had found a nice hiding place and wasn't happy at being disturbed.

Throw Back Thursday......

..... To little kittens, cute kittens that get up to mischief.

I found this video of them playing in my boots!

I remember one morning, I picked up my boots to put them on, and a kitten shot out of one of them. I screamed, it gave me such a shock!

At this age, they loved to be played with. They still play now, but not as much.

We've gone through so many of those wand toys over the years. I've taken to hiding them when they aren't being used, the cats tend to chew through the toy on the end!

A few cute photos.

Cute!

This was the first litter. At that time, I thought I could cope with these kittens. But two of them got sick, Steve, the white cat, and Alan, the black cat, have problems with stones in their urethra, painful and deadly. I had money saved to get Mama fixed, but I had to use that money to take care of Steve and Alan. By the time I had enough money saved, Mama had escaped and gotten pregnant a few more times!

So now 9 cats!!
