About Us
Natalie, Emma, the Cat of the Day
Name: Natalie, Emma
Age: Three year old
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Shorthair Tuxedo
Home: Norman, Oklahoma, USA
 
   This is Natalie and Emma. They are three-year-old domestic short hair tuxedo females. I rescued them when they were five days old. Their mother died after giving birth to them. I brought them home thinking I could keep them until they were eight weeks old then find a loving home for them. But by the end of the first week in caring for these babies, I knew there was no way I could part with them, and I wasn't going to separate them. I found that loving home and it was here with us. We fell in love with these girls and they are members of our family. These are our first cats, and we had no idea how wonderful the feline family is. We are the lucky ones!

    Natalie is definitely the alpha cat in this home. She is very demanding and usually gets her way. She "converted" my husband from disliking cats to an adoring father. They are pretty much inseparable when he is home. She has several toy balls that she brings to us and wants to play fetch. Her favorite pastime is sitting by the front door and watching the birds and chattering. She is very secure in her pecking order but grooms and is very affectionate with her siblings. She is a sweetheart and we adore her.

    Emma is a sweet natured cat. She loves to eat dry food and refuses the canned food. She purrs very loudly and makes sure she doesn't get far from me. She brings her toys to me meowing very loudly with them in her mouth. She is my best pal. We were always dog lovers and had no idea what pleasure was in store for us with these kittens.
