Tillie Hank (formerly Niko)

My fiance and I adopted Tillie, a tortoise calico, and Hank, a blue point siamese, as kittens exactly a year ago this month. We just celebrated their birthdays by strapping them in our new Baby Bjorn and walking them outdoors (we're expecting our first child in June and were "practicing" toting a baby with the cats--they loved it). They have been wonderful addtions to our household and lives; I call them my sweet precious angels (sometimes I think they roll their eyes when I say it). Despite what I had always heard about cats being aloof, overly independent and unloving, I have found nothing to be farther from the truth. Tillie and Hank are very capable of entertaining themselves with their many toys or by playing hide-and-seek with one another, but always welcome any interaction with us! Their favorite things to do are play on their 6 + ft. cat tower (courtesy of Santa), sit in the windows and "sun" themselves, chase each other up and down the stairs, and snooze curled
up on our bed. I grew up a dog lover, but these two have won my heart and changed the way I feel about cats in general. I highly recommend cat adoption for anyone seeking constant entertainment and added joy in their lives. We had a wonderful adoption experience with APR and wish all you adoptors the best. Cats are where it's at!!!!
