Blink.

Meet Blink.


She is one of our two Siberian kittens.  (Her sister's name is Wink.)

We've had Wink & Blink since sometime in December.  For a while I still missed Cougar, and so did Tate, but in the last few weeks, Blink and Tate have become best friends.

I don't let them in the house very often, but Tate would love to have them in here all day long.

He carries Blink around like a baby and she would love to snuggle all day long.

My Gram and I researched this breed of cat, since we knew nothing about them and found out some interesting facts.

Siberian cats have slightly upturned eyes (this one's are blue), longer back legs making them very agile, and three times the fur as other cats.  They are fluffy!  These cats can weigh up to 20 lbs., the second largest breed.  They grow until they are 5 years old.

Siberians are also the only hypo-allergenic cat and so even people with allergies can own them.  Ours came to us free, so we feel so lucky to have them.  Their mother is a wild cat and though she's had lots of litters of kittens, for some reason, decided to bring this litter to the porch where Patrick's secretary Nona lives.  So Nona tamed this one little by little and tried to tame her sister (with little luck) and now they are ours.  Wink (Blink's sister) is still cautious of people and rarely tries to come inside, but she will let me hold and pet her whenever I want.

And Tate, of course, is in heaven.
