Patches

Patches has been with me since '90. She is a claico longhair and is declawed and very frindly with me but shy of strangers. She is a lap cat and loves to snuggle. I think she thinks I have enough kittens (kids) now.

Sockies

Sockies joined our family in '00 as Bre's cat and they are a good match. Neither had ever met a stranger and both are very friendly and outgoing. Sockies is a black over white male shorthair with (can you guess) white feet. As a kitten, Sockies would "nurse" on Bre's nightgown bows and ribbons and continues the habit now, by "nursing" on the blanket of whatever bed she is sleeping in. This has earned him the nickname "Suckies". He never "nurses" when sleeping in my bed if Bre isn't here. I guess that he thinks that Bre is his mommy.
