About Us
Buttercup and Violet, the Cat of the Day
Name: Buttercup, Violet
Age: Eight weeks old
Gender: Female
Kind: Cat
Home: Highland Mills, New York, USA
 
   Buttercup and Violet (black one) both came to us as strays. Buttercup was found on a bus that was waiting to be repaired at my husband's job. We got her at three weeks of age. It's a lot of work when they are that young but she has thrived since then. She was biting a lot because she didn't have her siblings (kitten play can be rough!). We tried to discourage her but because she has so much energy, it didn't work. We were advised to get her a little playmate and while that wasn't necessarily an option, I came across a little black kitten who needed a home and that's how Violet came to be with us. They are not related but are the same age, within a few days to one week. They are the thick as thieves and lots of fun. I just can't resist two little bodies curled together sleeping soundly - I just have to hug and squeeze them!
