The "girls" are sisters. This year, they turn eleven years old. Though litter mates, in personality the two are as different as night and day.
Pacey, our gray tabby, is the alpha cat - independent, athletic, and sassy. Jasper, or Jazz as I frequently call her, is shy and docile with others but super cuddly with us and still very kitten-like in her ways. She enjoys chasing her tail and keeps herself amused by doing so for hours!
The girls are a song and dance duo :) Jasper is our "singer." Her grandmother was a Siamese cat, and Jasper takes after that breed as far as her vocal prowess goes. Pacey is our dancer. She has a tendency to perch up on her hind legs and spin...it's the wildest thing ever and very cute as you might imagine.
Cats are incredible animals in so many ways, not the least that they can and do cue into human emotion. They are constant sources of love and comfort. Just to gaze at them napping in a sun spot or to pet their silky fur and hear them purr creates a sense of peace and calm. They're a reminder that the simpler things in life ... like a nice nap after a good meal ... are the most satisfying.
