A teddy bear in waiting
It's a known fact that Rosie and Rufus' mother is black - I've seen Rufus moving closely with her. But it's often a much greater mystery as to who's the father to kittens. I therefore had to bring my camera around to the park where I found Rosie and Rufus as I one day saw this gorgeous teddy bear (you just want to snuggle with him). It seems he is among the more lucky of town cats as it appears that he is well fed and in a rather fine condition - everything taken into consideration. He is calm, friendly and has that element where you just want to bring him home - just a real presence. As you can see I had a sweet reason for wanting to capture a few images - no one (and there are MANY cats in that park) looks anything like him and when it comes to the question of who has fathered Rosie and Rufus (well Rosie in particular) there can be no question!! Even where the white and grey meet on the paws - the curves, coloring and lines are all the same.
Well Rosie started out real calm in life but has now realized that there is such a thing as feeling super charged and full of energy and she is turning out to be a real little kung fu master. Rufus is willing but even he is ocassionally a bit overwhelmed by his sisters new found super powers! Rosie has tripled her weight in 5 weeks and still going - she loves food. Rufus has settled well and loves cuddles - and loves that meals gets served with frequent intervals throughout the day! They both love the company of all their new brothers and sisters and all of them can often be found snuggling tighly together when it's time for naps. There's something so sweet about how these rescue cats accept each other - maybe something in them knows they share a similar destiny?
Anyhow... maybe Rosie will level out at some point and become a calm presence as her father but for now it's just terrific seeing this girl charging around!

what a delight to see those pictures. Daddy Teddbear is really an impressive cat. I am sure he loves cuddeling, but only with HIS persons. You are right, he looks well cared and fed. And just this calmness proves that opinion. What a joy to see the little daughter, hopefully she gets his wonderful fur, too. She looks so exactly like her father. If I would life in your isle, I would come to cuddle the littles ones. Nice imagination.
Best greetings and God bless you, Johanna
Hmm, wonder if the saying that "dogs are like their owner" goes for cats as well..?? Just pussled me, since it seems many of your furry friends are kung fu or ninja-like! ;-DDD
Thank you so much for your kind comment on my blog this weekend--you're right, beautiful things do come out of struggles. But sometimes it's hard to keep sight of that when you're right in the middle of the struggling, you know?! That's why I'm especially grateful for the encouragement. I hope your adjustment to your new home continues to go well too! :)
I have to tell you this cause you will understand. I caught Maggie at a house where she stayed in a hole under the house. This Morning I went back over there and haven't been there since last Thurs. when I caught Maggie. Well there was a little wild kitten there. Darn it all. I was worried that she might have kittens since she stayed under there. I have been a wreck all day. No wonder Maggie has been meowing all the time. Now she is even sick and we are going back to the vet in the morning. And I went over and fed the kittens. There are now two. At least they are eating but it is going to take forever to catch them. Thanks for listening.

Lovely post!
I am just tickled to see the progress that Rosie has made. Truly a miracle!
What great research you did on Rosie's Cat-Daddy! He is beautiful, but Rosie's eyes are still prettier. Funny if you can observe those traits how they get copied. So good to read she's as playful as they can get. Making up for lost time and opportunities.
Love to you,
Mariette
And how handsome is daddy cat! Very pretty!
Please give the kittens a little kiss for me!

How lovely to see the photographs of the adorable cats. That is good detective work on your part working out the family tree.
Happy weekend
