The grey and white one is Lucky! I remember that morning we got her. There was absolutely NO intention of getting a cat. I just moved into my very first Denver apartment and I was dragging Steve with me...like it or not style! We went to Denver Friends League and as we were walking to the cat part of it I ran into a girl I use to work with at ROSS. She and her friend were carrying a pet carrier and I asked her what she was doing. She replied that her friend couldn't keep the kitty because of her apartment complex. There was/is nothing wrong with the kitty and she got it as a gift from her boyfriend. Steve and I asked all the questions from: sex. age, getting fixed, shots, etc... We all then walked out to our car and took "Lucky" out and she hid under our seat! From that moment on we knew we couldn't let them take her into the "pound"! So she came with the name Lucky and we never changed it! The is now Steve's cat....she sleeps with him....she listens to him....obeys him.....as for me? Well she wakes me up every morning around 8ish to eat! ANNOYING!
Then came Cali! The black and one fur ball in the top right! What a pistol! Soon after we got Lucky, Steve and I were going on our first vacation to WI and I thought, "hey, let's get Lucky a friend!" Mistake! So off to DFL again to see what they have. We were looking for a female short-hair around 6 months. This was going to be a "present" to Steve from me! We looked around for a long time and right before we were to leave I noticed this kitty in a kennel all alone. I asked why she was all alone and the vet replied because she was newer to DFL and wasn't getting along well with others! So we decided to hold "snow" (that was her name) for a bit and when Steve went to pick her up she hissed! YEP we'll take her! They fixed her and everything and two days later we went and got her! I remember that Steve had to work so I was all alone with the two, and Lucky was NOT happy that some other cat was taking over her territory! Put it this way......3 years later they still aren't the greatest of friends! I changed her name when I was watching Grey's one day to Cali.....where Steve is from! Now days we get Cali shave a few times a year because of mats and "other" stuff. She LOVES being shaved and only likes to snuggle when she is shaved. She is miserable otherwise!
Lastly, my baby! The all black cat in the top left! like 2 years after we got Lucky and Cali, I was going through phase where I wanted to have Kitten from birth to love for forever! Shortly after this phase (like 3 days), I went into work and I noticed a sign on the door that read, "free kitten! All black, female, fixed, shots, just can't have her at my house because of my son!" So I went to the girl who was giving her away and she told me that one day she was driving down Quebec and noticed a blue mustang running over a kitten. She stopped her ca and picked the kitten up and brought it to the pet hospital. It was a stray cat and had worms. Other than that and going through stock she was okay....except the missing tooth and messed up jaw. I asked her how much she wanted and she said nothing. I believe we gave her 50 bucks for the medicine she had to take because of the worms and stuff but other than that....I took this little no named black kitten home! She was SOOOO small....malnourished! After a week Steve named her Taylor. After Shawn Taylor who played for the Redskins who was killed. Well just like I have hoped.....Taylor loves me more than Steve! She always cuddles with me! We play this game...when I walk into the closet she will follow and cry a little for me to pick her up.....then I put her on the bed and lay, pet, and love her for about 15 minutes....she then starts to chew me up like a toy! I broke my heart last night when I heard her scream and cry all because I shut the dishwasher door on her! Poor thing! She is okay though.....she was so loud that Lucky and Cali took off under the bed with her to comfort her! So cute!
So all-n-all, Lucky and Taylor are BFFs and they pick on Cali and make her life miserable....but don't you worry I have water bottles! LOL I love them, they are my every things! I have NO desire to ever get more and when it is their time to leave earth I will not replace them with another cat! My asthma can't take it! So this it the story of TLC! (Taylor, Lucky, and Cali!) My girls-our girls!
