Yin Yang and Worthless, the Cats of the Day
Name: Yin Yang, Worthless
Age: Two, 1.5 years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cats
Home: Michigan, USA
 
   These are my kittens Yin Yang on the right and Worthless on the left. They are "mutt" kitties. Yin Yang was found living under my sister's house when she was around six months old. My sister's rottweiler thought Yin Yang would make a good lunch so we had to get her out of there. If you look at her chin you can see the yin yang symbol. That's how see got her name.

    About three months later, I decided she was lonely because I was at work a lot. So I found Worthless at the animal shelter. She was just eight weeks old and extremely ugly. She is part siamese and her hair was thin and all over the place. I thought that since I already had one "ugly" cat, I couldn't get a pretty one. So I picked her. As you can see, she didn't stay ugly. Worthless got her name, because her eyes, when she looked at you when she was younger there this kind of dead stare, you know, the kind you get when you talk to your kids. She wouldn't go near the other kitten or us. She would just sit in the corner and stare. Neither of these cats are overly cuddly, they come over to be petted when they want to. They won't sit on your lap, but if you don't pay attention when they want attention, they come will paw at you with their claws out. It doesn't hurt, but it does get your attention. If I don't get up in the morning to feed them, they sit by my head and paw me (and they have the automatic feeder, they just want me to go kick it so they hear food.) These two finally have gotten to the point where they are inseparable. I don't know what they would do without each other, or what I would do without them. They even meet me at the door every day when I come home from work.
