Our Pets!
- Name:
- Kumo
- Birthday:
- 6-March-2024
- Breed:
- Ragdoll
- Personality:
- At first, Kumo was a literal scaredy-cat. He spend his first few days mostly hiding under our bed. However, he has become quite the character. He loves to chase and “yell” at Natsumi. They like to follow each other around the house and frequently cuddle up together for naps. He likes to sleep in our bed at night and has become quite the cuddler in general. He’s great with our elementary school aged daughter and puts up with being carried around and snuggled until he falls asleep… even if that wasn’t his original plan.
- Dislikes:
- Strangers… at least for a while. He warms up to new people within a few hours. He’s also not fond of loud noises (especially vacuum cleaners and hair dryers).
- Name:
- Natsumi (Zoomy)
- Birthday:
- 3-May-2023
- Breed:
- Ragdoll
- Personality:
- Loves people and attention. She’s still a kitten, so she gets the “zoomies”. She likes to play and will chase a laser or other toy, however she’s pretty happy to just lay around. She really liked to play with Charlize, but Charlize didn’t really get along with other cats. She’s happy to play with her new “brother” Kumo and he’s all for it.
- Dislikes:
- Pretty much nothing. She puts up with everything.
- Name:
- Charlize (Sweet-sweet)
- Birthday:
- 2011-ish?
- Passed:
- 5-May-2024
- Breed:
- Maincoon Mutt
- Personality:
- Likes her people, but afraid of strangers. A little on the twitchy side: loud noises, and sudden movements cause freakouts. The best hunter of the group. Personally responsible for the reduction of baby squirrels and house mice in the vicinity. Loves to help her people exercise.
- Dislikes:
- Stranger danger! Charlie (see below). Baby squirrels… except to eat.
- Name:
- Charlie (Thumpa)
- Birthday:
- 2010-ish?
- Passed:
- 10-October-2022
- Breed:
- Domestic Shorthair
- Personality:
- Loves people! Just as happy in your lap as on his back getting his belly rubbed. Full of energy. Loves to run around the house, wrestle with his people, and chase toys. Very talkative and likes to sit with his people when they’re exercising, making dinner, eating dinner, and watching tv.
- Dislikes:
- Loud storms. Getting yelled at.
