Dorothy & Sophie

from Lori S.

In August of 2010, Dorothy (torti) & Sophie (tabby) became our kitties. Now 3 1/2 years old, they still run around and chase each other up and down the stairs of our townhome just like kittens.  Their favorite places to be are on my lap, in a sunbeam, in an empty box or together on my husband's recliner. Sophie is quite the "squeaker" and allows my son to carry her everywhere, while Dorothy has learned to fetch fuzzy pom-pom balls. They also adore watching the birds and squirrels right outside the window. What a joy they are!
