Pipsqueak, Pumpkin, the Cat of the Day
Name: Pipsqueak, Pumpkin
Age: Two years, Nine months old
Gender: Female
Breed: Cat
Home: Houston, Texas, USA
 
   They are the best of friends but are very jealous of each other. They fight in the day and groom and sleep together at night. Pumpkin-head is also a thief and steals everything in site. Pipsqueak likes to bite holes into water jugs and watch them drain Both are adopted from the SPCA.

    Pipsqueak was adopted because she was so gentile and sweet. Well, she grew up to be a terror! She rules the house! Also, my wife selected her because she curled up on he lap when we were at the SPCA. My wife wanted a lap cat. Now she spends every evening on my lap and won't sit on my wife. Surprise---She is the orange and white one. We named her Pipsqueak because she was so small and scrawny when we got her. Now, she is closed to 10-lbs and solid. She also goes by Felicity because she is a gentile lady when she wants something. She likes to roll all around the house and sleep on our legs. She has a very extensive dialect. Several times while my wife and I talk we need to speak up because she won't stop talking. She loves to be held and scratched and demands attention. She also will knock anything off of the counter and will thoroughly smell everything she sees.

    Pumpkin-head (striped with an orange blotch on her head) is very shy, hates to be held, but loves to be scratched. I think she may have been abused because she dislikes being held or approached so much. But, she does love to be scratched. They have several toys but only really will play with string. Pumpkin-head likes to sleep up high above the kitchen cabinets. She is not too bright and tends to get tangled in the blinds and fall a lot. Because of this we also call her Ker-plunkin! She also roams the house and occasionally yelps for no reason.

    They are best buddies and are inseparable. We got Pumpkin a year after Pipsqueak because Pipsqueak started sneaking up behind me and biting me on the face. I thought this may be because she needed feline companionship. She hasn't bitten me since we got Pumpkin!
