Greetings!

I suppose a good place to start is why? Why a blog? Why now? The answers to these questions is simple. Borderline pathetic, but simple. Basically, I live in a fairly small apartment in West Philadelphia (insert Fresh Prince of Bel Air song here). I used to have a roommate (Steph) but as of yesterday she has left me to peruse bigger and better things at an internship in Rosendale, New York! Of course, this is only for the summer months then we will be reunited and living in a more spacious place. In real life I moved up here from Northern Virginia and invaded her apartment, she is just cool enough that she doesn't care! But I digress...The point of this blog is to keep my roommate up to date with funny stories, and pictures of her cats. Yep. That's it. *You can laugh at any time.* I will also frequently discuss my rabbit and the cute things he does. I suppose now would be a great time to introduce you to everybody. 

This is Baby Chan (aka Baby)

The smallest of the 3 cats, Baby Chan packs the most punch. She eats the most, has the loudest meow, is the most temperamental, and has the smelliest poops. She must see the need to overcompensate for her size. She loves Steph the most. She can be very sweet to others but her mood is quick to change. She is VERY affectionate when she wants to you feed her. She wakes herself up meowing in her sleep and can be beckoned from anywhere by a series of whistles and clicks. She loves licking Steph's loofah that dangles under the faucet after someone showers. 

This is Sally (aka Sally Baby)

In general, the friendliest of the 3 cats is Sally. She will be the first to crawl up on your lap, snuggle by your side, or lick your nose. BEWARE, she also has the worst smelling breath! For this reason I do not allow her to lick my nose. She is also the most tolerant of the 3. You can mess with her and she will just lay there and take it. Whether she is just used to it from years and years of different people poking and jigging her legs or pure laziness, I will never know. She is the first to snuggle with you at night and 9/10 the first to try and wake you up in the morning to be fed. She is considered the 'blonde' of the bunch. She gets by in life on her looks, she is truly not the brightest creature. 

This is Reese (aka Reese Cup)

The oldest and largest of the 3 cats, Reese demands respect! She was born the litter before the others. Reese is an independent woman but when she seeks out attention you just want to give it to her. She has the most adorable happy noises and loves more than anything to be rubbed over her eyes. She enjoys eating plastic, strings, and hair ties. She also loves being an indie kitty sporting an array of neckerchiefs. I am super against animals wearing clothing but she really, REALLY, loves it-just as long as you remember to scratch underneath it. She is also the reason 'kitten mittens' were invented. She has the loudest walk of any cat I have ever heard. When she snuggles with you at least one part of her body has to be touching you. Maybe it's her tail, her head or her paw, either way it is adorable. 

Mr. Grumblez (aka Bunbuns)

As the only man in the house, Mr. Grumblez gets tons of attention. He is a lionshead rabbit. He is a ball of angsty fluff. He used to have a problem with biting but that has pretty much subsided. Most days he is incredibly sweet and attention seeking. On others he is full of piss and vinegar. I rescued him from a crazy lady at about a year and a half old. His weight was healthy but his toenails were long, his hair a mess and he was not neutered. He was very sweet when I first brought him home but after the big snip snip he was nothing but mean and bite-y. No one could tell me why (not even the vet) but my theory is his balls were on for too long and when they were removed it threw his hormones out of wack. Now, about a year later, he is wonderful!  He loves to eat apples and carrots and sit on the back of the couch watching everything. He likes to be nose to nose with me and the the spot right behind his ears and ears massaged. And think rabbits don't make noise? Think again, this bitch grumbles. 

So there you have it. Thanks for meeting everyone! I only just scratched the surface with these descriptions. The coming months are sure to be filled with tons of funny stories, photos, and maybe a video or 2.
