Two elderly rescue cats, Buttons and Bo.

She (Buttons) is a very needy lapdog of a cat who loves to be carried basically everywhere around the house. Insists on sleeping under blankets while on my bed, usually on her side with her head on a pillow. She also LOVES grooming me, especially my beard. She comes when called, though is mostly deaf. She's freaked out when I take a bath, coming up to the edge and howling... probably remembering the time she jumped on the edge and very gracefully fell in.

Her brother is downright weird. He's shaped like a pug (15 pounds, very broad chest, walks almost bow legged due to said breadth). He LOVES to be held like a fat, hairy toddler... 'sitting' on his hind legs with his back up against me. He also prefers being under blankets at night, but completely covered. He likes to be carried, but not as much, and due to his length it's a bit challenging to make him comfortable while doing so.

Both always want attention, love having their bellies scratched and immediately warm up to strangers.

She's more of a wee little princess who loves to be carried everywhere.

Bo is a solid lump at 15 pounds.
