Tigger & Roo - 2 of Los 5 Mojaqueros Cats

Our cats out in the sun near the pool
Tigger and Roo are twin bulseye-tabby street-cats who turned up on our doorstep during the late summer/early autumn of 2010. The story of their 'rescue' can be found at:
http://www.our-happy-cat.com/los-5-mojaqueros-a-cat-rescue-story.html Together with a photo of them with their brother and two other feral kittens who also arrived uninvited and moved in shortly afterwards. Tigger is definitely a Mummy's boy and his favourite place to sit is on her chest, while she sits out in the sun on a lounger and attempts to update her daily diary. Roo is more of a Daddy's boy and loves to perch in front of the printer and walk about between the keyboard and screen whenever there is something going on in the computer room.

I love these two they look so loving towards each other. I think it is lovely to have two cats from the same litter. For the first time in my life I now have two brother cats myself and think it is the best thing i have ever done.
Having one cat is great but two siblings are simply so fulfilling. I am always encouraging people to rehome two sibling cats together. There are so many waiting for homes in the rescue centres that one cat is just not enough.
My sister had a feral cat who she found just about to wander into a busy road because he was blind due to cat flu, he was a lovely cat who spent his whole life protecting my sister. No one else could get close to him but she could wear him like a necklace. Its funny how some cats can bond so strongly to some people.
It seems in your home you have one cat each which works out well. I live with a man who has been a cat charmer his whole life and every cat he meets simply loves him. So I have to fight for the affection of my cats but I think I have done it now.
