Hanging out with the cats

Lilly is the puddy with the white nose; Boo Boo is the one sitting up. They are brother and sister - and sister is boss. She gets to eat first, whilst he resignedly looks on. She bites his arse for the hell of it. Like Rags, they are rescue animals, and we love 'em.

Boo Boo is a scammer. I recently uncovered the 'double life' he was leading. One day he came back to us with a collar on. I attached a note to it, explaining that he owned us and that he couldn't own anyone else. A few days later we get a call, and - what do yer know - he's been getting fed and pampered by another family a short distance from us. You gotta laugh at the cheek of it! I am sure that, were he to advocate for himself, he would argue that our recent acquisition of a doggorn dog meant that he was fully entitled to hedge his bets. Besides, over and beyond he didn't have to wait his turn before getting to the food.

Good job the family were sensible enough to put that collar on him though. They are moving, and, if we hadn't responded, they were gonna take him with them, assuming him to be a stray. A close call Boo Boo, but we're yours mate (Spaghetti Western Mexican bandit laugh...)
