Jake and Elwood, the Cats of the Day
Name: Jake, Elwood
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Flame Point Siamese
Home: Tennessee, USA
 
   This would be my duo... The Blues Brothers... Jake and Elwood. I'm told they are Flame Point Siamese. Thanks to an ad in the local newspaper, I adopted them after they were abandoned. I had just put down my previous cat, due to feline leukemia and I was terribly upset about it. It was fate. They needed me as much as I needed them.

    Jake, being the larger of the two, is very vocal. He actually talks to me (and I swear he says mama!). Elwood, is vocal, but compared to Jake, he squeaks. They are both very affectionate, and follow me everywhere I go. It's not unusual for the three of us to be curled up on the couch together... Elwood on my tummy and Jake in the crook of my arm. When it's bedtime, they know it. They get their treats before I retire for the evening. When I get up to turn out the lights, they head straight for the kitchen. They're beautiful cats and I love them to death. They seem to know when their picture is being taken. They don't actually pose, but they don't move when I'm aiming my camera. They are practically joined at the hip. Usually, they are sleeping curled up together. In this picture, they had just finished a nap in the rocker and I grabbed the camera as they got up. My guys are a joy, and I don't know what I'd do without them.
