my perfect darling baby angels

their names are tater tot (the black & white cat) and puddin (the tabby). tater is a little goofball who is very loud and loves to cuddle. puddin is a regal queen who demands pets while she eats.

occasionally they fight, but we think they probably like each other. sometimes tater will hover by puddin and ignore all signs that puddin does not want her there. sometimes puddin will hold tater down and aggressively lick her head. they can both bond over a beautiful patch of sunshine, though.

we got puddin from a shelter when we lived in florida. she has a notch in her ear and was feral with a hurt leg when they rescued her. she's very polite now, though she will bite you (or gently place your hand in her mouth) if she is tired of being pet.

we got tater when she was a kitten after a friend of ours nursed her back to health. it's been long enough that we think she's probably as big as she's going to be, which is pretty small. she's pretty long though.

tater is very scoopable but pretty shy around strangers. puddin loves getting pet by new people but is very good at asserting her boundaries and does not like being picked up.
