Hands and Lester - a coupla low income cats... Talk Back!!

HANDS

Hi, my name is Hands. So-called because I have a thumb. I have long, black hair that keeps me warm in the cold weather- I am an indoor-outdoor boy who has never experienced the passion of love, thanks to the SPCA who didn't want me to multiply. I fight with my housemate Lester, over food, and even though I am younger than him I win the best plate because he pretends to be afraid of me.

LESTER

Hi, my name is Lester. I am close enough to looking like a Russian Blue to be one. I like to bite and have large incisors. When I am happy from petting I always get a good bite on my petter. I don't hurt them much though. I used to have a grey furred sister but she was murdered by a neighbor's dog.

Now I have "Hands" as a housemate, he loves to take over whatever I have. My plate, my hiding place, anything he thinks will make him dominant.

I used to have a bird friend she helped me when a bad dog bit me and I had an abcess. But sadly, my bird friend flew away and now I must be happy with "Hands" and two gals that also live here.

So talk to us, write to us!! only thing is; for any medical problems please ask your veternarian- after all we are just cats.
