Our cat


In May 2012, Steph and I found a little lost/runaway kitten in the garage. It was scared, hungry, and so thirsty it couldn't even meow anymore, so it had this strange croak instead. It was hiding under some pallets and didn't want to venture out, so we lured him out with some food and managed to capture the little tiny white fluffball. We gave him food and some milk and found a little bed for him. He was so tired and squeaky and still couldn't meow so we let him sleep for a day or two and waited to see if someone came by looking for a kitten. Thankfully no one did and so we decided to keep him. We got the name Bibi for him (thanks to Stephie's sister Sara), and just like that we had our first pet....together...big step for a couple (so they say). It's like having a child :) and not a planned one either. But sometimes those can turn out to be the best ones. He was so white and fluffy and very good as a kitten. We got him used to baths so he didn't mind them and tried to keep him as a house cat as long as possible....turned out to be a bit of a vicious little devil in the end.
 
Yeah he loved to fight. By now of course he's "too old" for such things, but now that he lives outside he loves to hunt. He turned out to be a Red point Siamese so quite a good looking little man. He's one of the most affectionate cats I have ever seen, and loves to be with us wherever we are. He waits in the driveway for us to come home at night and loves to just lay on our couch (or the bed when we just can't deny him it). He's been a good friend and is much loved!
Here are some pics of him, taken with my Rebel Xsi and 60mm lens
